關於殺人影展

「殺人影展」將於今年舉辦第七屆。我們試圖引導台灣社會進一步思考這些問題：為什麼在高唱和平的年代裡，我們卻放任極致的暴力存在？為什麼在一個冤案層出不窮、人民對司法信任度極低的國度裡，我們卻放任不可靠的司法執掌生殺大權？為什麼我們以為死刑可以維護正義、保障社會安定？殘忍濫用死刑的結果，是否只是惡性循環地讓死刑滋養出更殘暴的下一代？對我們每一個人而言，殺人／死刑意謂著什麼，死刑制度是否真的必要存在於一個文明的國度？

積累了前六屆影展的能量，第七屆殺人影展主題為「致你我的惡．治你我的惡」，籌備期間廣泛進行選片，影片類型不限劇情片或紀錄片，主題涵蓋加害者的背景、犯罪成因、輿論如何呈現犯罪事件、司法審判過程、死刑與國家權力、獄政、死刑犯處境、死刑冤案當事人、死刑相關人（例如被害人、加害者親友、獄卒等）等角度，帶領觀眾從不同角度思考死刑制度帶來的影響，以及在這制度之前，「生」與「死」之間的思辨，誰該死？誰又值得存活？死刑解決了什麼問題、又製造了哪些問題？國家刑罰以死刑作為最終極的懲罰是否有其極限？

About the 7th Murder by Numbers Film Festival

The 7th Murder by Numbers Film Festival will be held this Fall. Through these films we try to guide Taiwanese society to further think about these questions: Why do we allow extreme violence to exist in an era of singing peace? Why do we allow an unreliable judiciary to take charge of life and death in a country where there are endless unjust cases and people's trust in the judiciary is extremely low? Why do we think the death penalty can uphold justice and ensure social stability? Is the result of the cruel and abusive use of the death penalty just a vicious circle that allows the death penalty to nurture a more brutal next generation? What does murder/death penalty mean to each of us, and is the death penalty system really necessary to exist in a civilized country?

The theme of this year's Murder by Numbers Film Festival in English is “The State vs. You and Me”. The people empower the state to govern, and at the same time transfer the power of life and death to the state, giving the state the right to "govern" the evils of society with deprivation of human life. However, the state is also composed of the people. When the state has the ultimate power of the death penalty, it is equivalent to obtaining the authorization of the whole people to deprive individual people of their right to life. The country is composed of you and me, and we authorize the country to punish crimes with the death penalty. However, when the country executes the death penalty, every person seems to be cut off from the state and the death penalty system, and the evil people who grow out of our society have nothing to do with us.
