Long Beach歷史悠久的Art Theatre Long Beach將帶來侯孝賢導演《戀戀風塵》與李安導演《飲食男女》雙片聯映，邀請觀眾一次欣賞兩部臺灣電影史上的代表作品。

🎞️ #侯孝賢《 #戀戀風塵》
1986年作品，也是臺灣新電影的重要經典。電影描繪一對來自山城的年輕戀人離鄉前往臺北工作，在青春、離別與時代變遷中逐漸走向不同的人生。侯孝賢導演以細膩而克制的影像語言，留下臺灣電影史上極具代表性的青春與成長記憶。

🎞️ #李安《 #飲食男女》
1994年作品，以一道道臺灣料理串起父親與三個女兒的家庭故事，在餐桌上的日常與衝突中，細膩描寫愛情、家庭與世代關係，也是李安導演早期最具代表性的華語作品之一。

從侯孝賢的臺灣新電影美學，到李安細膩動人的家庭敘事，兩部作品呈現不同世代的臺灣社會與生活風景，也展現臺灣電影走向國際的重要歷程。活動將於兩部影片放映之間安排座談討論，與觀眾一同從電影出發，認識臺灣電影、社會與文化脈絡。

18街藝術中心駐村藝術家闕巧涵即將完成3個月的駐村創作，並與阿根廷藝術家Luciana Abait合作推出雙人聯展「On Shifting Ground」，展出兩人在洛杉磯的創作成果。

雖然兩位藝術家的媒材與視覺語言截然不同，但她們在持續的對話中，找到了對「透過色彩重塑空間」的深層共鳴。這是一場關於「位移、記憶與身體」的視覺對話，邀請大家一同前來感受色彩與空間的流動！

"On Shifting Ground" at 18th Street Arts Center by Chiao-Han Chueh and Luciana Abait

We are excited to share "On Shifting Ground", an upcoming dual-artist exhibition featuring paintings created by Taiwanese artist Chiao-Han Chueh during her three-month residency in Los Angeles, alongside works from Argentine artist Luciana Abait’s Iceberg Series.

While working in distinct mediums and visual styles, Chueh and Abait found a remarkable common ground in how they transform spatial relationships through pigment, color, and layered interventions.

恭喜臺灣世界音樂團體嬉班子樂團（SIBONGIE）與旅美臺灣作曲家江宜臻（Yi-Chen Chiang），分別入圍2026好萊塢獨立音樂獎（ Hollywood Independent Music Awards）！

🥁嬉班子樂團以最新專輯《Sang Sang Sang》中的原創歌曲〈Landaya Trust〉，入圍「世界音樂」（World）類別。成立於2005年的嬉班子，長年融合西非鼓樂與臺灣台語創作，在充滿生命力的節奏中，發展出獨具特色的跨文化音樂語言。

🎼江宜臻則以為電影《Dancing Man》創作的管弦樂配樂〈Dream Sequence〉，入圍「最佳當代古典音樂」（Best Contemporary Classical）。作品透過細膩的管弦樂編制，描繪夢境與現實交錯的心理狀態，呈現角色內心的情緒轉折。

兩組臺灣音樂創作者將於7月30日齊聚洛杉磯Avalon Hollywood參加頒獎典禮，與來自世界各地的獨立音樂人交流。👏🎵

🎶 Taiwanese music creators are making their mark in Hollywood! Congratulations to Taiwanese world music ensemble SIBONGIE, whose original song “Landaya Trust” from the album Sang Sang Sang has been nominated in the World category, and Los Angeles-based Taiwanese composer Yi-Chen Chiang, whose orchestral score “Dream Sequence” for the film Dancing Man has been nominated for Best Contemporary Classical at the 2026 Hollywood Independent Music Awards.
