翡翠之城
City of Jade
十七年前，千禧世代到來，在全球步入新世代的節日氣氛之外，緬甸玉
礦區裡正上演生存的掙扎與生活的糾結，鏡頭聚焦在一個人身上──導
演趙德胤的哥哥。哥哥也有千禧夢，那是逃離屬於礦工的西西弗斯式悲
劇宿命。他在玉礦場工作，每天如同賭命，為世人挖出翡翠的男子不回
家，卻在毒癮的刀口上徘徊，花光所有錢財，最終又走入惡之循環。趙
德胤鏡頭對準哥哥，要求給予真相，竟發現哥哥把留學夢留給了自己。
在和平都市的假面具以外，還有許多有著美麗名字的城市，被貪婪與戰
火推到世界的邊緣。
17 years ago when the entire world was in a festive frenzy greeting the new
millennium, the rural jade mines in Myanmar witnessed a story of personal
struggles and harsh realities. The camera focuses on the protagonist, director Midi
Z’s elder brother De-chin. Like many others, De-chin also had his own dream for
the new era, which sadly comes across as an inescapable tragedy à la Sisyphus.
Working in the dangerous quarries, De-chin walks on thin ice every day. The jade
digger never returns home and eventually, despite losing his entire fortune to drug
addiction, chooses to perpetuate the same vicious cycle he first threw himself in.
The director trains his camera on De-chin looking for an answer, only to find that
it is his brother who made it possible for him to study abroad. Under the façade
of peace and Shangri-La-esque names, every day a great many places in the world
are being pushed to the periphery by greed and violence.
