《戀在初夏升溫時》My First Summer
凱蒂・芳德 Katie Found｜澳洲 Australia｜2020｜Colour｜80 min

「在這片長僅僅80分鐘的優美電影中，芳德以合理且明智的方式為本片收尾，而不是冒著破壞全片架構的風險，讓結局淪為浮濫的傳統戲碼。」—《雪梨晨鋒報》

克勞迪婭在母親去世後過著與世隔絕的生活，但當她遇到格蕾絲時，一扇希望之門被打開了。格蕾絲是一位活潑的當地少女，她像海市蜃樓般出現在克勞迪婭的花園。她們在彼此之間找到前所未有的支持、相愛和親暱。但隨著成人世界的逼迫，威脅到這段夏日秘戀，她們如田園詩般的靜謐生活，也面臨了未知的波瀾及考驗。

關於導演
凱蒂・芳德是現居於墨爾本的作家兼導演，曾執導過多部短片作品，並於2016年以《寡婦》獲得了諸多讚賞及獎項肯定。此次放映的《戀在初夏升溫時》是她的首部劇情長片。

"Running just 80 minutes, it's a gorgeous little film that Found judiciously ends where she does rather than opting for a conventional denouement that would only break the spell and detract from the whole." - The Sydney Morning Herald.

Claudia is stranded in isolation after her mother's death, but life turns around when she meets Grace, a spirited local teen, who appears in the garden like a mirage. They find support, love and intimacy within each other. But their idyllic peace is a fragile one as the adult world closes in and threatens their secret summer love.

About the Director
Katie Found is a Melbourne-based writer and director, My First Summer is her first debut feature. She has made multiple short films, including It Will Peck You and The Widow, which won various awards and praises, including the Monte Miller Award at the 2016 AWGIES.
