面對九七,討論香港人的前途命運,民間婦女組織與女同志,又如何渡過界限?《節慶九七之勁歌甘曲(運動版)》以實驗的紀錄片形式,討論女性的主體空間。異於聚焦於影像與音樂形格的「音樂版」,「運動版」記錄女性運動,同樣關乎人權運動與人權文化。麥海珊的作品一直遊移於實驗與紀錄的邊界,既重塑女性直面九七的異殊聲音,亦探索錄像媒介與女性的關係。

Facing 1997 and the uncertain fate of the Hong Kongers, how do women’s non-governmental organisation and lesbians go through this historical junction? The documentary Celebration in the Times of Bitter Songs 97 (MOVEment Version) adopts an experimental form to discuss the subjectivity of women. Different from the Music Version that focuses on video and music styles, the MOVEment Version records the movement for women’s right, promoting the movement of human rights and human rights culture. Anson Mak’s works have always been moving in between the experimental and pure recording, reshaping women’s voices facing 1997 as well as exploring the relationship between the video medium and women.
