Winnie Yan / 柔軟的齒輪 往 臺中國際動畫影展 2018 札記 Notes on TIAF 2018 (Taichung International Animation Festival)
FP Writer and Artist Winnie Yan’s glimpses of the TIAF 2018 highlights how seeing differently in animation is rooted in the technology that evolves around and generates the art form. To some animation artists, the single frame, as opposed to the shot in live action film/video, is the basic unit of experimentation, or that all innovative animation works are intermedia in nature. Either way, the persistence of vision makes our eyes unique apparatus connecting to the world of the unknown imaginary.
Winnie Yan / through eyes, we wander / through hands, perhaps speak and sing 若然透過眼睛游離，以手說話唱歌
FP writer Winnie Yan’s thoughts on the unique, interchangeable place of the artist’s hands and eyes, and the pro-musicial quality of moving image streams, were provoked in her visit at the EXiS 2018 while contemplating the works of montage masters such as Stan Brakhage and Robert Breer, and recently fuelled by her direct encounter with 16mm filmmaking. 「據點」作者忻慧妍遊訪首爾的實驗電影與錄像節2018，眼前眾蒙太奇大師如Stan Brakhage 和 Robert Breer 的作品，加上個人近期親身「落手」的16釐米電影拍攝經驗，勾起了各種對活動影像的迷思：手與眼的結合，影像流的近音樂性等等。
FPC members / Let me see if I can put it in words: between FP 1.0 and FP 2.0 總有一點想法：「據點。句點」1.0 與 2.0 之間
Here we have recorded thoughts that could only be preserved and shared in words, from FPC members, including those just arriving and departing, between FP 1.0 and FP 2.0. 「據點。句點」1.0 與 2.0 之間，新成員、舊成員、離開了的成員，都用上了時間去勾畫這片據點。
Winnie Yan / Document as medium, archive as structural framework 檔案作為一個媒介 | 檔案庫作為一個架構: 李繼忠韓國藝術駐場研究之旅
A visit to Gwangju Biennale alerted FPC member Lee Kai-chung to the possibilities of doing an artist’s residency in Seoul to study archiving practices for art, which he did and shared upon his return to HK in “Can’t Live Without.” 「這次駐場計劃是基於第一次在光州雙年展後到訪過MMCA作資料搜集的經驗出發的。那時其實並不知道有駐場計劃可以申請，只是純屬對一個藝術館的好奇…」

Winnie Yan / 白色的時間－往 臺中國際動畫影展 札記
FP writer/editor Winnie Yan reflects on her visit to the Taichung International Animation Festival (13-17 Oct 2017) and finds “concepts and theories” less learned in class. Traversing through works across generations and continents, she asks, “What is it that makes us willing to condense our life into a short string of images?” 忻慧妍問：是什麼令我們願意把自己的生命濃縮成一小段影像呢?
First exposure to 16mm shooting 初嘗16米釐
On 22 July 2017, seven FPC members and friends participated in Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie’s 16mm workshop with two Bolex cameras. Using “reverse printing” method, we were able to “develop” two rolls of films made in the Shamshuipo neighborhood the same day and view the outcome at the end of the day with great excitement. […]
