Coventry Close Encounters:

A Programme of Contemporary Films from the Cinemas of East Asia

考文垂东亚电影俱乐部 之 “考文垂近距离邂逅”

———当代东亚电影项目

Objectives:

The Coventry South East Asian Film Society aims to promote and to celebrate cultural diversity by raising cultural awareness of South East Asian cinema for all students in the department of Media and Communication.

主体概括：

考文垂东亚及东南亚电影协会向所有媒体传播学学生开放。本电影协会通过介绍东亚及东南亚电影文化意识，同时提升和发扬文化多样性的理论与实践。

The Society will screen movies from throughout the South East Asian region which includes China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia etc under the banner ‘Coventry Close Encounters’.  

在 “考文垂近距离邂逅”的旗帜下，电影协会将致力于放映来自于东亚及东南亚不同地区的电影，包括 中国，中国香港，中国台湾，朝鲜半岛，日本，泰国，马来西亚，等等。

With the independent distribution scene in North America and Europe struggling in the current economic conditions (the collapse of Tartan DVD as the obvious example), the distribution of even major East Asian movies is often heavily delayed or simply fails to materialize. In short, availability, access and more importantly an awareness and appreciation of the wide range and diverse films of the East Asian cinemas can be unfortunately somewhat limited.

在当今大的经济危机形势背景下，连同苦苦挣扎的北美以及欧洲独立制作（Tartan DVD 的倒塌作为显著的例子），东亚地区，甚至于主要的东亚电影制片发行也时常被延期或者干脆取消。简单的说，对于整个范围内的东亚电影本身和它的发展进程，电影发行和放映的可能性；从另一角度来说，全球观众对东亚及东南亚电影的需求可得，以及从对于它的了解，到熟知其多样性，甚至去欣赏和品位，其曰不兴。当然，从电影的宣传，也将会明显带来一定的限制。

In light of this, CEAFS will select a programme of films with a focus on contemporary South East Asian films that are currently unreleased and unavailable in the UK.

鉴于这些，考文垂东亚电影协会 （CEAFS）将会聚焦于当代在英国没有发行和没有供应的东亚电影，并且特意从中挑选放映给大家鉴赏。

Films will be screened on a weekly basis in the Ellen Terry Building on Wednesdays at 4pm. The screenings will also provide a forum for critical discussion and debate on East Asian Film.

所有电影都将会在每周三，下午4点，Ellen Terry教学楼里放映供大家观赏。此放映活动还将会建立相应的讨论平台，以供批判性，理论性的辩论和探讨。

Screenings are free and everyone is welcome. The screenings have been linked into PDP (101MC) modules across all degree programmes, students must attend at least 3 screening and write critical reviews and reflections.

本放映活动是完全免费，且欢迎所有人的加入。此外，本活动的其另一个重要性是：电影放映直接联系到所有学年的课程PDP （Personal Development Portfolio），关于PDP，每个学生必须至少参加3次放映活动，并且做一定的电影影评和凡响。

Whilst the appreciation of East Asian film is paramount, the goal is to facilitate and encourage international students to have a better experience at Coventry University and to offer a space to promote social interactions and relations among all our students.

当然，对于东亚及东南亚电影欣赏和支持是最重要的。同时与其同样重要的是电影协会的目标，其宗旨在于促进和鼓励国际学生能更好的体验考文垂大学的学习生活，在此基础上也为所有的学生提供了一个去提升社会交流的机会以及体验社会关系的空间。
