TALK TO ME

《无法融入的声音》是一部14分钟的剧情短片，以夸张的方式描述了个人与外界的隔阂。这部天马行空的短片聚焦一位柔体杂技演员和一位高跷杂技演员每天的生活，试图激励我们——永远不要害怕勇敢做自己。

TALK TO ME is a 14-minute narrative film about not fitting in, in an over-the-top kind of way. The whimsical short follows a contortionist and a stilt walker going about their everyday lives, and serves as a reminder to never be afraid to let what you do be an expression of who you are.

朱尔斯是是一位视觉和媒介艺术家，在三十多年的艺术生涯中行走于摄影与电影两界。他的作品持续关注因身份带来的隔绝和孤独等等，被社会所忽视的问题。从康考迪亚大学导演系毕业后，他很快进入了影视行业，担任美术和副导演，在加拿大和美国进行电视剧和广告制作。他已出版许多摄影作品；他的作品在蒙特利尔和布鲁塞尔的摄影月（MOIS DE LA PHOTO）进行了展出，也在世界各地举办了个展。目前他从事电影摄影和剪辑工作（他专攻研究为制作电影的舞蹈）。他的第一部作品TWITCH已经在国际超过五十个电影节上展映，获得了三项大奖。朱尔斯的第二部作品《无法融入的声音》同样获得了多项奖项，在全世界的电影节中赢得了声誉。第三部作品HUBRIS则将舞蹈与杂技元素融入叙事。TWITCH展现人物战胜自我认同危机的故事，而奇思妙想的《无法融入的声音》则聚焦一位柔体杂技演员和一位高跷杂技演员，通过他们的故事，呈现个体与外界隔绝的主题。最新的作品进一步探讨身份认同问题，探讨个人的目标感如何导致了个体的孤独（狂热地信奉个人利益至上），以及导致了人类社会生存环境的恶化。他目前正在筹备新作品WAVES，一项VR（虚拟现实）艺术项目，源自他照看陷入痴呆的双亲的亲身经历。

A visual and media artist, Jules has been oscillating between photography and film for 30+ years. His work has repeatedly focused on the marginalized and tackled issues of separateness and isolation in a broader discussion about identity. Following his Concordia University degree in filmmaking he was soon working in the industry as set decorator and assistant art director in both local and American feature productions, including television series and advertising. His photography has led to numerous publications; exhibited in group shows in Montreal and Brussels during their respective MOIS DE LA PHOTO, as well as solo shows around the world. His career has since shifted to cinematography and editing (with a specialization in dance for camera productions). His first film TWITCH had a successful run on the short film festival circuit with screenings in more than 50 festivals internationally, winning three awards. Jules’ second film TALK TO ME also won multi-awards and garnered accolades in the festival circuit. HUBRIS is Jules’ third film using dance and circus artistry as a vehicle for storytelling. TWITCH tackled a narrative of conquering fear towards self-acceptance, and the whimsical TALK TO ME featured a contortionist and stilt walker to mirror the sense of never fitting in. His latest film HUBRIS moves further into the discussion of identity in examining the role that one’s sense of purpose plays in contributing to dissociative isolation (cult of the individual) and precursor to human-caused environmental degradation. He is currently working on developing WAVES, a VR project about his experience in caregiving for parents with dementia.

《无法融入的声音》由两条平行的故事线组成，讲述了两位内向者努力与外界达成平衡与和谐的过程。影片就像一则寓言，全片无对白，仅是呈现两位边缘于社会的主角，挣扎于融入这个不欢迎他们的世界。这部短片以时间为线，呈现了他们在
36小时内融入社会的过程，与此同时他们捍卫自我的完整。影片在歌舞片中获得灵感，故事由正常叙事和杂技表演交织，达成叙事和表演段落两者的平衡。到故事结束，两位独特的主角发现了守住内核的奥秘，尽管对他们来说外界仍是一种干扰。

TALK TO ME alternates between two separate narratives and manifests the challenges facing two introverts as they try to find balance and harmony in interacting with the outside world. The film presents itself as a fable, and is without dialogue, featuring strange and marginalized characters who are forcibly led to learn how to engage in a world from which they feel excluded. The short film chronicles 36 hours of their struggle to engage in society while trying to keep their sense of self intact. Drawing from the dance film genre, this short film’s narrative flows between storytelling and acrobatic performance, teetering on the line where narrative structure and circus performance meet. By the film’s end, the quirky protagonists discover their center despite the flux of everything being off-kilter around them.
