剧情简介：中国台湾电影《天堂的语言》是由导演Anita Chang执导，预计于2013年上映。尽管导演Anita Chang的电影制作可能在多年前就已经开始，但由于大预算电影的演员选择被推迟，所以制作进度有所延迟。不过，观众可以期待这部电影将带来丰富精彩的故事内容，并且还有其他电影正在制作中。故事讲述的是“You already know the importance of s*ing a language. The main point is that you must start doing it. You know the reason, but not the motivation to s*e it. This is where I’m confused. You can also say I’m waiting for that something,” admits An-Chi Chen, one of the youth collaborators for Tongues of He*en, a one-hour digital documentary. Set in Taiwan and Hawai’i, territories where languages of the Austronesian family are spoken, this experimental documentary focuses on the questions, desires and challenges of young indigenous peoples to learn the languages of their forebears— languages that are endangered or facing extinction. Using digital video as the primary medium of expression, four young indigenous women from divergent backgrounds together collaborate and exchange ideas to consider the impact of language on identity and culture. With 96% of the world’s population speaking only 4% of the world’s languages, what does it mean to speak your mother tongue in this age of language homogenization? To put it another way, what do you lose when you lose your native language? These are just some of the questions that these women, with camera in hand, ask themselves, their families and peers.
