High Life

HIGH LIFE 101 从 一开始，便发现林博然是个随 性之人。去年12月我们在一次 餐厅开业活动中初见面，当时这位性 情随和的本澳年轻人正逐桌向宾客推 介场内最新的圣诞艺术装置，一个与 澳门气候大相径庭的巨型雪球。也是 在那时，我们了解到林博然的家族生 意与艺术行业息息相关。 十个月后，我们在澳门市中心的 恋爱·电影馆见面，探讨他的新纪录 片「What’s your art ？ 你 有 啥 把 戏？」。这是一个基于澳门现实生活 的个人创作，不过这次与雪无关。 “上次见面后，我丢失了所有电 话号码，因为我在一次聚会中被推下 了泳池，”他笑着说。“我刚刚结束一 个重要的商务会议，所以着装比平时 讲究一些。一切照旧，一刻不停！” 尽管林博然仍将自己对家族生意 的热情排在第一位，但同时也很享受 生活中的一些小乐趣。近年来他自己 的职业生涯亦开始起步，并在近期结 束的中加国际电影节上收获了一些奖 项。 话题转向他取得的成就时，他解 释道：“我并不像很多导演、演员及电 影创作者一样，对电影有着毕生的追 求。我涉足电影业纯属偶然。 R ight from the start, it’s clear that Ian Lam is a very spontaneous person. When we first met at a restaurant launch last December, this young and easy going local was at the time moving from table to table promoting the venue’s latest Christmas art installment, which was a giant snow globe – far from the reality of Macau’s climate. This was when we learned that Lam’s family business revolves around the art industry. Ten months later we meet at Cinematheque Passion in downtown Macau to talk about his new documentary film, What’s Your Art , a very personal project based on the realities of life in Macau, and without any snow this time. “Since we last spoke, I lost all my phone contacts because I was pushed into the pool at a party,” he laughs. “But other than that, I just finished a business meeting with some important people which is why I am more dapper than normal right now. Business as usual!” It is clear that while Lam prioritizes his passion for the family business, he also enjoys life’s small pleasures. His own career has also taken off in recent years and he managed to bag some prizes at the recently concluded Canada-China International Film Festival.
