不拍不合！ 總結首兩屆經驗，今屆「奪目影像孵化計劃」及「Eye Catcher Global 2024」將有新改變、新搞作！奪目影像願作小小槓桿，繼續催生更多香港影像項目，助力本地獨立影像創作人走向國際。 第一階段，通過為期4個月的「奪目影像孵化計劃」，為入選影像單位及其影像項目，提供從創作、製作至提案的培訓及指導工作坊。本年度之孵化計劃分為文學改編、生態紀實、無限創意3個組別，公開招募12組影像單位。入選項目可競逐「點子計劃」短片資助共4個名額（每部最高港幣10萬元），及「Eye Catcher Global 2024」之國際提案大會入圍名額。 第二階段，來年夏季舉行之「Eye Catcher Global 2024」將繼續立足香港、連結國際。透過公開徵集，入選影像項目將參與國際提案大會，與國際及本地業界代表交流，角逐獎金資助。同時亦會舉行一系列產業活動，為影像創作人打造專屬交流平台，助其走得更遠。敬請期待！ 奪目影像孵化計劃2023/24計劃內容 2023年11月 - 2024年2月（活動時間以週末為主） 創作工作坊 製作工作坊 提案工作坊 導師計劃 孵化計劃提案日 「點子計劃」（短片資助） 計劃組別 ① 文學改編 導師：孔慶輝 文學與電影，各有其獨特的語言，又互相影響、互為啟發，不拍不合。由文學作品改編為電影，通行國際為何卻在本地語境相對少見？奪目致力跨界合作，催生文學改編的影像創作。 本屆孵化計劃向香港作家陳冠中先生致敬，影像單位可從已獲陳冠中授權作品《香港三部曲》(2013年增訂版) 中選取文本，通過改編創作短片。改編形式可包括但不限於情節變奏、提取人物或主題原型加入個人風格等，以電影語言為文學作品賦予新的解讀。現正公開徵集影像項目，等待你用影像詮釋、轉化、再演繹，為香港的文學作品重賦全新意義！ 改編文本 - 陳冠中《香港三部曲》(2013年增訂版) ：1. 《夜宴驚歲記》2. 《淺水灣（太陽膏的夢）》3. 《什麼都沒有發生》4. 《金都茶餐廳》5. 《被書掟中頭部的一天》 ② 生態紀實 導師：陳浩倫 香港的山水島嶼、人文方物、乃至動物植物，獨特而無可取代，同時亦印證着歷史和當下的變遷。香港的生態太少被鏡頭拍下，背後的故事也未曾被好好述說；香港的生態及人文故事在歷經轉變的當下，更值得我們認真觀察、好好紀錄。 本屆奪目計劃將目光投向生態紀實。影像單位可循生態環境、氣候變遷、土地關懷或更多其他待發掘之生態議題為主題，用影像激發同理心，重扣人文生態，推動改變。 ③ 無限創意 導師：（將根據入選影像項目進行配對） 作為香港的一分子，面對大變局，有甚麼故事一直繞在你心頭、不得不講？無限創意的影像創作，可以根據個人故事、真實事件創作，或從日常中重塑，更可以跨越類型、挑戰實驗性⋯⋯報名無限創意組，打破題材、類型及長度等的界限，追求超越銀幕的創意展現！ ＊3個組別均不設長度限制。詳見下文「報名須知」。 完成計劃後之機會 3個組別之影像項目，不論長短，均可通過孵化計劃提案日，競逐入圍「Eye Catcher Global 2024」國際提案大會。 3個組別之短片項目，完善製作計劃後可競逐「點子計劃」短片資助，爭取每部港幣最高10萬元的製作資金，共4個名額。a)
