HIGH LIFE 23 俄 裔澳门电影导演贝马善（Maxim Bessmertny）日前携其最新电影短片 《三舨》回到出生地，参加了那里举办的俄罗斯海参崴国际电影节，并举 办了首映仪式，引起热烈反响。 这是他离开出生地二十多年来的首次回归。他的大部分人生都在澳门度过， 而他也早已自我认同为澳门电影人。 1993年，四岁的贝马善跟随家人一起搬到澳门。在这里，他进入葡文学校 学习，因此可以说葡语、英语和一点儿广东话。他在泰国完成高中学业，在英国 学习哲学，之后在纽约大学帝势艺术学院拿到了电影制作方向的硕士学位。 他于2013年创立了独立电影制作公司 Pontus Maximus Productions， 并独立编剧、导演及联合制作了他的首部叙事电影短片《三轮车夫》。该影片受 邀在多伦多国际电影节上进行了首映，并于2015年荣获了柯达奖之最佳短片电 影奖。 正是这一奖项为 Maxim 提供了一个使用免费胶片拍电影的机会，并最终促 成了《三舨》的诞生。 R ussian-born film director Maxim Bessmertny recently returned to his Macau home from the Pacific Meridian Film Festival in Vladivostok, where he held the world-premiere of his short film Sampan . The journey proved a fitting reflection of just how far he has come. Having moved to Macau with his family at the age of four in 1993, Bessmertnywent to the local Portuguese School where he learned Portuguese, English and some Cantonese. He finished high school in Thailand, studied philosophy in England and completed his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Film Production at The New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Upon graduation he founded Pontus Maximus Productions in 2013, an independent film company that co-produced, wrote and directed his narrative shortfilm TricycleThief . This film,whichpremiered at theToronto International Film Festival, won the 2015 Gold Kodak Award for Best Short Film. The award provided an opportunity to shoot on film for free, which ultimately led to the creation of Sampan .
