【敬悼】台灣民族誌影像先驅者 胡台麗老師(1950.3.11-2022.5.7)​


台灣民族誌影像先驅者、我們敬重的胡台麗老師於2022年5月7日病逝,享壽72歲。​

胡台麗老師是紐約市立大學人類學博士,曾任中研院民族學研究所研究員與所長,清華大學人類學研究所兼任教授,並擔任台灣國際民族誌影展主席與台灣民族誌影像學會第一、二任理事長。​

胡老師是台灣視覺人類學領域的先行者,在影像還普遍不受學界重視之時,開始在民族誌紀錄片領域長期耕耘,從1984年起,共編導攝製了8部民族誌紀錄片,透過部落、電影院和國內外廣泛的放映與座談,與被攝者與觀眾作最直接的交流,從實踐中產生文化反思的功效。胡老師也是參與開創傳統家庭觀念與婦女地位變遷、族群關係與認同、原住民文化展演、以及巫師祭儀文化等研究領域的領頭者。​

胡台麗老師的紀錄片作品曾獲得法國巴黎Jean Rouch國際民族誌紀錄片影展「非物質文化傳承推薦獎」、芝加哥國際影展紀錄片類銀牌獎、休斯頓國際影展金牌評審獎、金馬獎紀錄片首獎與台灣國際紀錄片雙年展評審特別推薦獎,以及入圍法國馬賽國際紀錄片影展競賽片,入選荷蘭阿姆斯特丹國際紀錄片影展競賽片等。​

胡台麗老師是人類學者、影展策展人、作家、紀錄片導演,同時也是積極的社會實踐參與者。長期透過民族誌影像的呈現,讓不同族群的聲音及觀點進行多元對話、相互理解。親身參與女性、原住民、榮民、土地等重要的文化與社會議題,為我們紀錄下台灣社會重要的發展歷程。畢生以其自身有限的力量和時間,帶著呈現台灣社群、族群、社會、人文的影像作品,促成台灣與國際間更有深度的交流與對話。​

Condolences. Taiwan Association of Visual Ethnography’s founder, Dr. Hu Taili (1950.3.11-2022.5.7)​
The founder of the Taiwan Association for Visual Ethnography, our deeply respected Dr. Hu Taili, has passed away on May 7, 2022, at the age of 72.​

Dr. Hu Taili earned her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of City University of New York. ​ She was a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, and served as the Institute’s director, as well as adjunct professor of Anthropology at National Tsing Hua University. ​ She was also the chair of the Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival and the first and second term Chair of the Board of the Taiwan Association for Visual Ethnography. ​ ​

Dr. Hu pioneered the field of visual anthropology in Taiwan, making documentary ethnographic films when filmmaking was not encouraged or rewarded by academic institutions in Taiwan. ​ Starting in 1984, she made eight ethnographic documentary films. Through screening these films in the Indigenous communities, in theaters, and in academic forums in Taiwan and abroad, she interacted directly with the people she filmed and with the audience, effecting cultural self-reflection through practice. ​ She was also a key figure in opening up several areas of anthropological inquiry, including the study of women’s role in the family and economy, ethnic relations, Indigenous cultural performance, and shamanism. ​ ​

Her documentary films won many international awards, including Jean Rouch International Ethnographic Film Festival [Paris] “Special Mention of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Award”, the Chicago International Film Festival Documentary Silver Plaque Award (documentary film), the Houston International Film Festival Gold Special Jury Award, the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Best Filmworker Award, and the Taiwan International Documentary Festival’s Special Mention Award. ​ Her films were also selected for the Joris Ivens Competition of the Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival and the International Competition in the Marseille International Documentary Festival.​

Dr. Hu Taili was an anthropologist, a film festival programmer, a writer, and a documentary filmmaker. ​ For many years, she used visual ethnography to help bring the voices and perspectives of different ethnic groups into dialogue and further their mutual understanding. ​ She also participated enthusiastically in public discussions on many important cultural and social issues, including issues relating to women, Indigenous peoples, former soldiers from mainland China, and land. ​ She gave us a record of important milestones in the development of Taiwanese society over several decades. ​ And she used her limited strength and time to create films presenting Taiwan’s communities, ethnicities, society, and arts, deepening the dialogue between Taiwan and the international community. ​
