原創短片計畫
Original Short Film Project

我們正在籌備拍攝三部原創短片，打造充滿創意及感人的影像作品。每部短片皆以獨立故事呈現，探索不同主題與視角，展現年青一代華人在澳洲的一些生命感觸。

第一部短片由Karen編劇及導演，經過超過半年的折磨，總合各社員的意見及藝術總監的指導，Karen承擔了挑戰，劇本已接近完成階段，其他社員亦選擇了自己想嘗試的崗位，如製片，攝影、美術、錄音及剪接等，大家戰意昂揚，準備2025年下半年開始拍攝，攝製上所需器材由藝術總監及各社員合併提供，以各盡所長、同心協力為主導原則。

第二部及第三部已決定了題材，由天恩及Adrian執筆，劇本創作在苦拼進行中。

敬請期待，與我們一同見證原創故事的誕生。

這不僅是一項創作計畫，更是一段讓原創作品走進觀眾內心的旅程。

We are currently planning on producing three original short films, each an independent story exploring different theme and from different perspective, to present a palette of young Chinese living in Australia and their reflection on life away from home and its nuances.

The first short will be directed by Karen.  In over half a year, going through much grinding, with suggestions from club members and under the guidance of the artistic directors, Karen took up the challenge and her script is now close to the final draft.  All other club members have picked their own  role in supporting the making of the film, from production manager to photography and art direction etc.  Everyone is in a fighting mode and high spirit.  The plan is to start shooting at the second half of the year.  Filming equipment will be provided by the artistic directors and some club members.  Everyone will be sharing and collaborating and doing what they feel is what they can do best.

The second and third shorts are in their initial development stage and have chosen their subject matters, and will be written by Yannes and Adrian.

Stay tuned and join us in witnessing the birth of some original stories.

紀綠片系列
Documentary Series

除了原創故事外，我們還有拍攝紀實故事的計劃，第一部紀錄片將由Paul負責執導，他沒有拍攝經驗，但移居墨爾本後，參加了很多華人社區活動，有缘認識了很多在此落地生根的華人，背後都有很多曲折感人有趣的故事，他有感於華人移居澳洲超過一百七十年的歷史，卻甚少有影音記錄留下來，為免這些歷史見證流失，兩年前他萌生紀錄他們生命痕跡的念頭，現趁華影社成立之機缘，可以聯結志同道合者實現此理想，目標是攝製一紀錄片系列，暫名《一百個華人的故事》。

第一部將於2025年8月開始拍攝。

Besides initiating original stories, we also have plans for documentary projects. The first documentary will be directed by Paul.  In spite of having no filming experience,  Paul has been involved in many Chinese community activities since living in Melbourne.  He had come across many Chinese Australians from all walks of life who had made their home here, and heard many of their stories,  some fascinating, at times sad but all interesting.  He was struck by the fact that although Chinese migration to Australia has begun from over 170 years ago, there had been very little recorded of this history, neither on sound or image. Two years ago he began to mull the idea of capturing their stories on screen, so as to preserve this valuable history.  Now, with the coming of the Film Society of Chinese Australians (FSOCA), he believes the opportunity has arrived for him to work with like-minded people to bring this dream to life. The goal is to produce a documentary series tentatively titled “Stories of One Hundred Chinese”.

The first episode is scheduled to begin shooting in August 2025.
