陈翠梅无疑是这个时代最优秀的电影创作者之一，更是华语短片创作中极其重要的电影导演。她不但在早年凭借一系列优秀的短片享誉各个国际影展，之后更是创办了“大荒电影”，掀起了马来西亚电影新浪潮，悉心提携与培养年轻创作者。
陈翠梅
马来西亚导演，1978年出生于关丹。她曾创作多部短片，是马来西亚首位在釜山、鹿特丹国际电影节；克莱蒙费朗、奥伯豪森国际短片电影节荣获多项殊荣的电影人，她也是首位受邀入驻戛纳进行创作的马来西亚电影人。2006年长片处女作《爱情征服一切》获第11届釜山国际电影节新浪潮奖。2005年，她创立了大荒电影公司，并掀起马来西亚电影新浪潮，在短短数年之内，成功地把马来西亚独立电影带到了世界各地的影展。陈翠梅曾担任鹿特丹、釜山国际电影节；克莱蒙费朗国际短片电影节、北京独立影像展、香港独立短片及录像比赛（IFVA）等各类电影节的评委，2018年担任上海国际电影节亚新奖评委、台北电影节评委。此外，她还担任各地电影制作工作室的导师，诸如亚韩电影领袖工作坊、东南亚电影实验室和望加锡斯科林学院等。2015年，她发起了“下一次新浪潮”活动，这是NNW Films旗下的一个品牌，旨在策划和组织关于电影制作的研讨会，并为马来西亚年轻且不断发展的电影人才提供一个前所未有的平台，使他们可以直接同该地区的知名电影人探讨及学习。
阔别十载后的2021年，陈翠梅新作《野蛮人入侵》获得第24届上海国际电影节金爵奖主竞赛单元评委会大奖，并且在2021FIRST青年影展作为开幕影片。北京国际电影节也将她选为焦点影人。本期导筒现场在常熟带来陈翠梅导演的2部长片和9部短片几乎涵盖了陈翠梅迄今为止的创作生涯。陈翠梅的随笔《花生与豆腐同食》此时恰好在内地出版，书中记录了她的电影世界与记忆和故事，呈现了陈翠梅既感性又俏皮的心思。 本次活动由Cathayplay 华语艺术电影、大荒电影、导筒的联合发起。陈翠梅导演肖像

“You don’t have a choice. Unless you jumped.” John said.
She opened the car door, looked out, hesitated.
Jumping is too painful. It is dark ahead and it is dark behind. So she closed the door.
And then it is too late to jump anyway.无夏之年 Year Without a Summer 一部以大胆结构挑战叙事习惯的成长电影。童年不再是开端，未来不比过去还晚。时间轴颠覆翻转，结局是否在开头就被看穿？影片始于清晨微光的海滩，男子自粼粼波光走上岸。一再重覆的画面是序曲还是终章？在第一个镜头前，故事早已开始；而在片尾结束后，故事仍持续未完。Azam comes back to his village, to look for his childhood best friend, Ali. Ali and his wife Minah are overjoyed to meet this long lost friend, who had left the village thirty years ago. They had been following Azam’s news since he became a famous singer, although now Azam is over his peak. Ali and Minah invite Azam to their house. At night, Ali asks Azam to out fishing at the sea. They visit the Pulau Ular island. The whole night, the three of them talk about love, marriage, village folklore, mystic creatures, and the wild boar hunting once upon a time. As the night is ending, Minah demonstrates that she could hold her breath underwater for 3 minutes. Azam tries to do the same, but he never appears again…福建，广东和海南历来是南国。他们的国家，在南国以南。短片设在八十年代关丹，用当时越南难民的情况反映华人家庭。因为几世纪的动荡不安，我们对吃饭的态度几乎成了一种仪式。A film about food. And about not having any food. For this Chinese family living by the beach, food is a ritual. A crab you catch is only of any use if you can eat it. One day another family comes to buy food. They don't want to go back to their country for anything. The land of the boat people. But what fisherman would set fire to his boat?丹绒马林有颗树 A Tree in Tanjung Malim 导演虚构的少年自传。十七岁的少女逃学来到吉隆坡。她和一个朋友吃晚餐，去大钟楼看灯，在公寓外的草场打赌最后关灯的是哪一间，有一句没一句地唱歌。她告诉他早上搭巴士迷路的事。她说路旁有棵大树，不断地下着白花，薄薄的，像纸巾一样。A fictional autobiographical sketch from the director's youth. A refined and almost imperceptibly sultry film. It barely has the onset of a story. A young woman,still a girl, saunters down the street at night with a man who hasn't been a boy for some time. The mood is more listless than erotic. The dialogues are more bored than poetic, yet there is something contemplative in their strolling and chatting. The man is played by local rock star Pete Teo, but even if you don't know that, his intriguing personality holds the consciously scanty story together. The director used to look down on old people who hadn't made it. She regrets that now.蘑菇兄弟们 Company of Mushrooms四个男人见面。话题无可避免地绕着他们的女人。导演说看起来是男人电影，私底下是一部女性电影。Company of Mushrooms is the name of a pizza. In the same restaurant, there's also a pizza called The Long Goodbye. Not everybody loves pizza and not everybody loves mushrooms. And even if you love pizza and mushrooms, that doesn't mean you like pizza with lots of different kinds of mushrooms. With filmmaker Ho Yuhang, a participant in the 2005 Tiger Competition, in and entertaining role as a coarse-mouthed braggart.一个前卫和强大的科幻故事的社会，一切看似完美无缺，但就是没有人可以开口说话。An edgy and powerful science fiction story of a society where everything is perfect, except no one is allowed to speak.
淑贞辞职了。她决定要去秘鲁。小马无法理解她的理由。其实他从来就搞不懂淑贞要什么。Sook Chen quit her job and decided to go to Peru. Ma could not understand why. In fact, she could never understand what Sook Chen wanted.
一场算命，是对人生的一次粗暴的审视。就算她一点都不相信算命，她没有办法不重新思考人生。Sook Chen meets a fortune teller on the street. The whole conversation soon becomes unbearable.美丽的失败者 The Beautiful Losers 在台湾的歌唱事业失败后，费决定回马来西亚开一家咖啡馆。她遇到了皮特，一个她10年没见的老朋友。皮特最近刚刚关闭了他的音乐酒吧，带她去垃圾场找家具。After her singing career fails in Taiwan, Fei decides to move back to Malaysia to open a cafe. She meets up with Pete, an old friend she had not met in 10 years. Pete had just recently closed down his music bar. He brings her to a junkyard to hunt for furniture.女生疯狂的爱上了她的同学，她知道自己为什么喜欢他，但她就是不知道他为什么不喜欢她。A girl falls in love with a classmate. She knows why she loves him, but she wants to find out why he does not feel the same.
没有人的女朋友 Nobody's Girlfriend 她想见他，于是她到了巴黎。最后她在动物园看见了婆罗洲的人猿。有人说它们是天底下最忧郁的动物。The Short film is made during Tan Chui Mui’s CinefondationResidency in Paris, casting another two residents, Nadav Rapid and Rusudan Chkonia. The story is inspired by Nadav Rapid’s “Emile’s Girlfriend”. Tan Chui Mui calls the film her French impression.

山前小剧场是一个沉浸式表演空间，在这里观众席和舞台处于同一空间，观众与表演者的距离会被大大拉近。法国戏剧家安托万·阿尔托说：“演出场所只需要四堵光墙，别无他物。”小剧场就是这样的演出场所，它自由灵动，挣脱了传统剧场的镜框式舞台。
黑匣子小剧场没有绚丽的灯光效果，没有层次分明的舞台舞美设计，更多的是需要观众把所有的注意力集中到表演者纯粹的表演上，这是一个尝试新奇想法的空间，实验、突破、创新都是我们标签，也希望可以带给年轻人新鲜的体验，或者是把年轻化带给每个人。
因为小剧场封闭的环境，每一个轻微的动静都会有意想不到的效果，甚至是舞台上不可预料的舞台事故，都会在这个狭小的空间里产生化学反应。所以每一场演出所带来的感受一定都是不同的。
