这部短片记录了被称为“苏格兰的切尔诺贝利”的废弃住宅区在拆迁队进驻前的最后景象。

A short film has captured some of the last images of a derelict housing estate nicknamed "Scotland's Chernobyl" before demolition crews moved in.

位于波特格拉斯哥的克伦公园住宅区建于一个世纪前,原本是为造船厂工人提供住所的,但多年来大部分建筑都处于空置状态。

The tenements at Clune Park in Port Glasgow were built a century ago as housing for shipyard workers but most of the buildings lay empty for years.

去年5月,推土机开始进驻该地区,而苏格兰籍意大利裔导演阿莱西奥·阿韦扎诺便在此拍摄了他那部后启示录风格的科幻恐怖喜剧《Behind》的相关场景。

Glasgow-based filmmaker Alessio Avezzano shot scenes for his post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror comedy, Behind, on the estate before bulldozers moved in last May.

这位编剧兼导演说道:“这是最后一部在此拍摄的电影。我们拍摄当天,官方才宣布该地区即将被拆除——我们能及时进入拍摄实属万幸。”

"It's the last film to be made there.

由于私人房东与当地议会之间存在分歧,克伦公园的重新开发计划多年来一直迟迟未能实施,导致整个区域仿佛被时间冻结,仅剩少数住户居住。

It was announced it would be demolished the day we were filming - we managed to get in there not a moment too soon," said the Scottish-Italian writer and director.

该区域的大片区域逐渐破败荒废,人们甚至将其与1986年切尔诺贝利核事故后被废弃的乌克兰城市普里皮亚季相提并论。

Redevelopment of Clune Park had been delayed for years due to a stand-off between private landlords and the local council, leaving the site frozen in time with just a handful of tenants remaining.

《Behind》的剧情灵感源自“屁股误拨电话”现象——即手机放在后口袋里时不小心拨出了电话。在影片中,这一行为引发了极其严重的后果。

Large parts of the site became run-down and comparisons were made with the Ukrainian city of Pripyat, abandoned after the 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear plant led to a huge radiation leak. The plot for Behind was inspired by "butt dialling", accidentally calling someone from a phone placed in a back pocket.

阿韦扎诺称,这个创意是他试图撰写剧本时萌生的。“那周,我的表弟平生第一次、也是唯一一次每天都会误拨电话给我;到了第五天,我顿时有了灵感,”他说道。

In the film, it has devastating consequences. Avezzano said he come up with the idea while trying to write a script.

“简单来说,就是把‘屁股误拨电话’这一现象作为引子,设想一下如果这其实是某种致命病症的症状会怎样。”

"That week my cousin, who hadn't done this before or since, just started to butt dial me every day and by the fifth day the light bulb moment came," he said.

阿韦扎诺补充道:“影片中既有人们对新冠疫情的反应元素,也有关于手机成瘾与社交媒体成瘾的内容。这是一部后启示录风格的讽刺片。”

"It is basically taking the idea of butt dials and what if they were a symptom of something more deadly."

他表示,克伦公园为这部短片提供了绝佳的拍摄背景,拍摄场景也均选在公众可进入的区域。

Avezzano added: "It's got elements of how we responded to the pandemic and it's got elements of phone addiction and social media addiction."

2013年由斯嘉丽·约翰逊主演的科幻恐怖片《皮囊之下》的部分场景也曾在该住宅区拍摄。

"It's post-apocalyptic satire."

“将其称作‘苏格兰版的切尔诺贝利’这一说法一直都很有意思,”阿韦扎诺说道。他目前正在制作自己的首部剧情长片《Midgies》,这是一部以苏格兰为背景的恐怖片,预计明年上映。这部影片的制作资金完全由团队自筹。

Avezzano said Clune Park gave him the ideal backdrop for the short, and scenes were shot in areas accessible to the public. Scenes for 2013's sci-fi horror Under the Skin, starring Scarlett Johansson, were also filmed at the estate. "The idea it was described as Scotland's Chernobyl has always been fascinating." said Avezzano, who is working on his first feature - Midgies a horror film set in Scotland and due to be released next year.

影片中的主角由杰德·麦克唐纳饰演。她曾参演音乐剧《Singin' I'm No a Billy He's a Tim》的女版演出,该剧讲述的是在凯尔特人队与流浪者队的德比战当天,一名凯尔特人球迷与一名流浪者球迷被关在同一间牢房里的故事。

The film was entirely self-funded. The lead character is played by Jade McDonald who was in the female run of Singin' I'm No a Billy He's a Tim, a play about a Celtic fan and a Rangers fan locked in a prison cell together on the day of an Old Firm match.

在格拉斯哥电影节的“惊悚节”首映之后,《Midgies》便开始在国际各大电影节上展映,足迹遍布意大利与阿根廷等地。

Behind has been taken on a tour of international film festivals, including in Italy and Argentina, following its premiere at Glasgow Film Festival's Frightfest.

该片还获得了贝辛斯托克“Exit 6电影节”的最佳剪辑奖提名,并在新墨西哥州的罗斯韦尔短片电影节上荣膺最佳国际短片奖。

It was nominated for the best editing prize at Basingstoke's Exit 6 Film Festival and won best international short at Roswell Shorts Festival in New Mexico.
