Well, the Berlin International Film Festival, the Berlinale, is experiencing a major controversy.

好的，柏林國際影展，也就是柏林影展，現在正經歷一個大爭議。

More than 80 current and former participants in the festival.

超過 80 位現任和前任影展參與者。

It condemned its stance on the Gaza conflict in an open letter published by industry magazine Variety.

在產業雜誌 Variety 發表的公開信中，譴責了影展在加薩衝突上的立場。

They said they were appalled by the festival's failure to take a clear position on Israel's war in Gaza and have accused Balynada of institutional silence.

他們表示，對於影展未能就以色列在加薩的戰爭採取明確立場感到震驚，並指控 Balynada institutional silence。

Among the signatories are actors Javier Badem and Tilda Swinton.

簽署者包括演員哈維爾·巴登和蒂妲·史雲頓。

We are dismayed at the Berlinatis involvement in censoring artists who oppose Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the German state's key role in enabling it.

我們對於柏林影展涉嫌審查反對以色列在加薩對巴勒斯坦人進行種族滅絕的藝術家，以及德國政府在其中扮演的關鍵角色感到失望。

The head of the film festival's jury, German director Wim Benders, has not reacted to the letter, but

影展評審團主席、德國導演維姆·文德斯，對這封信尚未做出回應，但是

at the beginning of the festival, he suggested filmmakers should stay out of politics.

在影展剛開始時，他建議電影人應該遠離政治。

We have to stay out of politics, because if we made movies that are dedicatedly political, we enter the field of politics.

我們必須遠離政治，因為如果我們拍了專門的政治電影，我們就進入了政治領域。

But we are the counterweight to politics.

We have to do the work of people and not the work of politicians.

我們必須做人民的工作，而不是政客的工作。

Well, our cinema expert, Scott Roxborough is with me here in the studio.

好的，我們的影評專家史考特·羅克斯伯勒現在在攝影棚和我一起。

Scott, the signatories of that open letter criticizing the bag.

史考特，那封批評該影展的公開信的簽署者。

They accused the festival's management of censorship.

他們指控影展管理層進行審查。

Actually, they made a couple of claims in the letter.

事實上，他們在信中有提出幾個指控。

One is that they called on the festival to take a clear stance on Israel's aggression in the Gaza war.

其中一個是，他們呼籲影展在以色列於加薩的戰爭中採取明確立場。

Although they've taken stances with the war on Ukraine, from Russia's side, and on Iran's crackdown on protesters.

雖然他們已經對俄羅斯方面的烏克蘭戰爭，以及伊朗鎮壓抗議者採取了立場。

They haven't taken an official stance on Gaza.

但他們並沒有對加薩採取官方立場。

But the critique of censorship I don't really see any evidence for.

但對於審查的批評，我真的看不到任何證據。

They are saying that they are muzzling voices, pro Palestinian voices, people who want to speak out against Israel.

他們說影展壓制了支持巴勒斯坦的聲音，壓制了那些想發聲反對以色列的聲音。

But we did see just a couple of days ago, a Finnish film director wearing watermelon pin, which is a symbol for support for Palestine, and

但就在幾天前，我們看到一位芬蘭電影導演戴著西瓜圖釘，這是支持巴勒斯坦的象徵，

So I don't really understand how they can accuse the festival of censorship.

所以我真的不明白他們怎麼能指控影展審查。

Maybe I think they want them to take a stronger political stance that they're not at the moment doing.

也許他們是希望影展採取更強硬的政治立場，但影展目前並沒有這麼做。

Wim Venders, the famous director, is head of the jury for this year's festival.

這次影展的評審團主席是著名導演維姆·文德斯。

He made that statement saying that we have to stay out of politics.

But the Berlinale, it's always been political, hasn't it?

但柏林影展一直以來不都是政治性的嗎？

Yeah, I mean, from the start, it's always been a big festival with big Hollywood films, but

對啊，我的意思是，從一開始，它就是一個有許多好萊塢大片的盛大影展，但

also a lot of sort of politically important cinema gets shown in Berlin.

同時也有很多具有政治重要性的電影在柏林放映。

And it's always been used as a platform for filmmakers and for artists to express political views.

而且它一直以來都是電影製作人和藝術家表達政治觀點的平臺。

With Vin Venders, who I've known for many, many years, and

以我認識他很多年的維姆·文德斯來說，

I've followed his career for decades, I think it was a very awkward response to a question he wasn't expecting about Gaza and Israel.

我追蹤他的職涯數十年了，我認為他對於一個他沒預料到的關於加薩和以色列的問題，給出了個很尷尬的回應。

And I would think I haven't spoken to him since, but

而且我猜，我自從那次之後就沒跟他講過話了，但

I would think that he meant more that he didn't think filmmaking should be about policy, should be about supporting a political party or that kind of politics.

我猜他比較想表達的是，他不認為電影製作應該是關於政策，不應該是支持某個政黨或那種政治。

But the idea that one could accuse vim vendors of not having a political stance, of not being in support of human rights and so forth, that ignores his entire career, both as a filmmaker and as a person.

但說維姆·文德斯沒有政治立場，不支持人權等等，這就忽略了他身為電影製作人和個人，他整個職涯的表現。

How did the Gaza war become such a topic and a controversial topic at this particular film festival?

加薩戰爭怎麼會變成這個影展的一個話題，而且是個有爭議的話題呢？

Basically goes back two years ago, 2024, when you had a documentary film, an Israeli Palestinian documentary film about settler violence, Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.

基本上可以回溯到兩年前，2024年，當時有一部紀錄片，一部以色列巴勒斯坦合製的紀錄片，講述以色列在約旦河西岸的屯墾者暴力。

這部片在這裡贏得了紀錄片獎。

The filmmakers on stage made very strong pro Palestinian statements and very harsh critique of Israel on stage to the general support of the audience.

走上臺的電影製作人，在觀眾普遍支持的聲浪下，公開發表了非常強烈的支持巴勒斯坦的言論，並嚴厲批評以色列。

Afterwards, there was a strong political backlash here in Germany.

之後，德國這裡出現了強烈的政治反彈。

A lot of conservative politic were very critical of what happened there, and

許多保守派政治人物對當時發生的事非常批評，

some even called for defunding the belli nala.

甚至有人呼籲停止資助柏林影展。

And so it sort of made Palestine, particularly this issue of Palestine and Gaza, central to how the belli nala is being seen.

這也讓巴勒斯坦，特別是巴勒斯坦和加薩的問題，成為柏林影展被看待的中心。

And it's put the festival management in a very awkward position of either having to take a very strong statement or position on the issue in Israel, Gaza, maybe in opposition to the German government, who are their main funders, or trying to be new neutral in some way.

這讓影展管理層陷入一個非常尷尬的處境，他們必須針對以色列、加薩的問題，或許是與他們的主要資助者德國政府對立，發表非常強烈的聲明或立場，或者試圖在某種程度上保持中立。

And it seems with this issue in particular, it's impossible to take a neutral stance.

看起來，尤其是在這個問題上，是不可能採取中立立場的。

I think a lot of activists would say you have to be on one side or the other.

我想很多活動家會說，你必須選邊站。

It's diplomatically difficult territory for the festival management.

對影展管理層來說，這是個外交上很艱難的領域。

How dangerous is this discussion for the festival?

這個討論對影展來說有多危險？

I think in some ways maybe this discussion itself is not so dangerous, but

我覺得在某些方面，或許這個討論本身沒有那麼危險，但

focusing entirely on just political issues, and

如果完全只聚焦在政治議題上，而且

particularly on this one very divisive political issue with Israel, Gaza could be very detrimental to the festival if Berlin's always been political.

特別是聚焦在以色列和加薩這個非常容易引起分裂的政治議題上，這可能會對影展造成很大的損害，因為柏林影展一直以來都有政治色彩。

There's always been political elements to the festival, but it always has been primarily about the cinema.

影展一直都有政治元素，但它主要還是關於電影本身。

And if the focus entirely shifts towards politics, which it seems to be doing now.

如果焦點完全轉移到政治上，就像現在看起來一樣。

I think that will be detrimental to the festival one, because a lot of filmmakers don't want to make politics the main focus of their, of their movies.

我認為這對影展會造成損害，一方面是因為很多電影製作人不想讓政治成為他們電影的主要焦點。

And so maybe they won't want to bring films here to Berlin.

所以他們可能就不會想把電影帶到柏林來。

And if Berlin decides to take clear political ideological stances on all issues, they're also going to isolate a large portion of the audience that maybe don't agree with them.

如果柏林影展決定在所有議題上採取明確的政治意識形態立場，他們也會疏遠一部分可能不同意他們看法的觀眾。

So I think they're in a very tough bind right now.

所以我認為他們現在處境真的很艱難。
