這是一段詩意的旅程,帶領觀眾近距離觀察三個即將因暖化現象而消失的美麗島嶼:
太平洋上的吐瓦魯、義大利水都威尼斯,以及阿拉斯加的夕什馬里夫。
這三處令人難以置信的美景即將消失,其文化與歷史亦面臨消逝的命運。
本片由日本知名導演是枝裕和擔任製片。
This movie looks at three beautiful islands, shaken by climate change – Tuvalu in the South Pacific, Venice in Italy and Shishmaref in Alaska. The islands all have different climates and cultures but the people all love their native lands. The filming, which took three years, focused on their daily lives. It portrays festivals that foster ties among the people, traditional crafts which have been passed on for generations and peaceful lives by the water. They are all disappearing by climate change. When these people lose their homelands, their cultures and histories face “death.” Their lives in the midst of all the changes suggest where our future leads to.
The director decided not to put any narration or music in this film. It is a two-hour trip around the world, listening to the sounds of waters and winds, accompanied by the children’s smiles..

昨天有機會至威秀參加影展,欣賞《上升之海,下沉之島 》。觀片後,工作人員發放寶特瓶礦泉水,雖然是好意,但恰恰與影展訴求衝突。很希望接下來別再發放寶特瓶才好。
Dear 蔚群: 非常感謝您的建議 我們發送的水,是以綠色樂活為訴求 瓶身的設計為輕量型,塑料(PET)的使用大幅減少,希望為環保拋磚引玉 我們會做好保特瓶的適當回收,並和索取的觀眾闡明理念 造成您的堪慮,敬請見諒 也再次謝謝您的支持。
