座谈会
两种阅读与创作：文字与影像之间

Panel Discussion
Two Kinds of Reading and Creation:Between Words and Visual

原著小说改编为短片作品，哪些部分容易哪些难？将影像作品文字化会否让原来的创作面目全非，又或者会开启新的可能性？“文学短片集 – 人生的过程”中的四部本地华语短片，有的改编自小说，有的从短片转化为文字，从文字到影像，或从影像到文字，这两者之间哪有些同与不同？且听本地文字、影像创作者、表演工作者怎么说？

To make a short film adapted from a novel, which parts of the process are easy, and which are not? To convert a motion picture to words, will it distort the original, or discover new possibilities? Each of the four local short films showcased in “Singapore Short Stories” is either adapted from a novel or converted to words, what are the similarities and differences between the two ways? The panel, made up of local wordsmiths, filmmakers, and performers, will share their thoughts.
