PUBLICITY surrounding the screening of a documentary about exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer ensured it was a sell-out last night, despite organisers fighting a "cyber-war" from China to withdraw it from the Melbourne International Film Festival. Festival director Richard Moore said the festival's website received about 80,000 hits yesterday, 10 times more than usual, and the majority were from China.
儘管組織者正與中國展開一場「網路戰爭」,他們被要求將有關流亡維吾爾族領袖熱比婭紀錄片從墨爾本國際電影節撤展,但圍繞此片上映的各種宣傳報道,確保了該片在昨晚的票子售罄。電影節主席理查德·摩爾說該電影節的網站昨天已經被點擊了8萬次,10倍於平常,這些訪問多來自於中國。
"There were bulletin boards going up telling them to get into our website … they are specifically telling them to target us. It seriously is cyber war," he said. Hackers attacked the website on Saturday, replacing festival information with the Chinese flag and anti-Kadeer slogans. Mr Moore said he was unsure where it would end.
「有一些論壇不斷告訴人們點擊我們的網站,並且特別告訴人們將目標瞄準我們。這真是一場網路戰爭,」他說。黑客在上周六攻擊了該網站,將電影節的信息替換成中國的國旗和反對熱比婭的標語。摩爾先生說他不難以斷言這場攻擊什麼時候會結束。
"We have had five Chinese films pull out now, one today — a Hong Kong-Taiwanese production called Miaou, Miaou." Mr Moore said the campaign had intensified since it became known that the festival had refused to buckle to Chinese Government demands that the documentary, The 10 Conditions of Love, be withdrawn. "First we had the phone call (demanding the film be withdrawn), then we had the Chinese films mysteriously withdrawing, then we had the hackers," he said.
「迄今我們已經有5部華語電影撤出了,其中有一部是今天撤出的,是一部香港和台灣合拍的影片《渺渺》」,摩爾先生說這場(抵制)運動自中國政府要求《愛的十個條件》撤下后,變得越發厲害。「一開始我們收到電話(要求該片撤下),接著一些中國電影神秘地撤展,接下來我們遭到黑客襲擊,」他說。
Mr. Moore said strict security would be in place when Ms Kadeer attended what was originally to have been the film's premiere in Melbourne on August 8. Filmmaker Jeff Daniels last night thanked Mr Moore for standing up to the pressure being applied by Beijing. "If it had not been for the Chinese Government this theatre would not have been full tonight," Mr Daniels said.
摩爾先生說定於8月8日熱比婭來墨爾本出席首映式之時,可能要採用嚴格的安保措施。該片電影製作人傑夫·丹尼爾昨晚感謝摩爾先生頂住來自北京的壓力。「如果沒有中國政府的加入,今晚這個劇院不可能坐滿,」丹尼爾先生說。
