碩士 / 世新大學 / 廣播電視電影學研究所(含碩專班) / 103 / A Story of The Remainders is a drama-documentary about family affection and life experience. The story of The Remainders began from an autography documentary, Feng-Xian, back in 2008. When I was making Feng-Xian, the project was not going well because of the speechless personality of my grandma. Also, I was lack of the family intimidation and connection with my grandparents. At the end of 2008, there was an event occurring to change the project tremendously into The Remainders. Christina Chou, who was my cousin, returned to Taiwan as a foreign exchanged student. We have never seen each other for nine years since she immigrated to Netherland. Christina was here to be back to her birthplace and hometown , Chong-Shih village.
The original meaning of the film title “Remainders”(“ashes” in Chinese title) refers to what was left after something has been destroyed by burned. So I use the word “The Remainders” to indicate the first immigrations from Mainland China, the Mainlanders, who went through the hardship of Civil War in China in 1949. Those people not only gave birth to their children and generations in Taiwan but also developed the culture of Military Independents Village. The children and grandchildren from the first immigration generation are called “The Descendants of the Remainders”.
The drama-documentary, A Story of The Remainders, documented the life through experience of Chou’s Family who lived in No.185, Chong-Shih village from 2008 to 2013. With a hybrid form combining documentary and drama, the film narrated the process of a possible family collapse. As the destruction of the Military Independents Village, the connection and the relationship of the family seemed to disappear like ashes that gone with the winds.
The creation description of A Story of The Remainders covered the background of creation, motion of creation, reference discussing review, the methods and procedures of filmmaking, analysis of structure, styles and aesthetics, conclusions and suggestions.
