《Way Down West: A Case Study》呈現了電影檔案學者 Didi Yitong Liang 的研究，為探討電影策展與技術變革如何塑造電影檔案提供了一個切入點。本書以1927年中國無聲染色電影《西廂記》（英文片名： Way Down West）的獨特歷程為案例，揭示了電影在跨越國界時的多樣面貌，無論其旅程如《西廂記》般複雜，抑或尚待展開。
從1927年在上海的首映，到1920、30年代在歐洲的重新剪輯與放映，再到其進入 Eye 荷蘭電影博物館（Eye Filmmuseum）的收藏卻逐漸被遺忘，侯曜執導的《西廂記》經歷了一條許多電影熟悉的道路。而這個案例證明了電影策展人和機構主導者的選擇不僅對電影檔案的構建至關重要，也對電影歷史的形塑產生深遠影響。在當今信息過載的時代，策展與選擇的作用尤為關鍵 — 需要適當的語境和歷史真實性，為文化的討論、交流以及創新建立基礎。

Way Down West: A case study by Didi Yitong Liang
時間：2024/ 11/ 25，entry 19:30 ，20:00 - 21:30 地點：OCAC, Open Contemporary Art Center
Featuring research by film archivist, Didi Yitong Liang, Way Down West offers an entry point into wider discussions of how film curation and changing technological practices are shaping film archives. Liang’s text examines one tinted silent film’s unique journey, 西廂記 Xīxiāngjì (English title Way Down West), which illustrates the transnational character of all film objects, whether their story is as already multifaceted as Way Down West’s or yet to be unfurled. From the film’s premiere in Shanghai in 1927, through its re-editing and screening in 1920s and 1930s Europe, to its entry into—and being forgotten amid—the collection of Eye Filmmuseum, the first decades of Hou Yao’s film followed a path familiar to many films. It is a case that proves that the selections of film curators and institutional directors are critical in shaping not only film archives, but film history at large. These decisions are increasingly critical in an oversaturated information age where curation and selection, with appropriate context and historical fidelity, provide the foundation for cultural discussion, exchange, and innovation.
