近日，宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院语言中心举办了首届小语种微电影大赛，为中外学生提供了一个展示电影制作技能和外语水平的平台。参赛学生需使用西班牙语、法语、德语、日语、韩语、汉语（国际生）中的一门外语作为影片的语言，呈现创意和想法。

经过1个多月的准备与制作，有六部影片入围最终的评选环节。日语短片《Sakanani》赢得了最佳导演、最佳摄影作品和最佳人气三个奖项。由法语组学生制作的《Avant Mai》则被评为最佳电影并获得最佳剧本奖。韩语短剧《Penthouse》获得了最佳表演奖。

对于学生们的积极参与，语言中心主任Penelope Franco深表感谢。她为学生们的成就感到骄傲：“他们的创造力和电影制作天赋让我印象深刻。他们所展示的高水平语言技能是努力投入的最好证明。”

《Sakanani》的故事围绕着一个即将毕业的学生展开。在影片里，她希望能够像鱼一样自由，而不是被迫去做自己不喜欢的事情。这个主题引起了许多大四学生的共鸣，他们和故事的主人公一样，可能对未来感到困惑和不确定。

当被问到为什么会选择这个主题并选择用“鱼”来做隐喻时，剧组的主创团队说，日本是一个 "高压力 "国家，许多日本电影都反映了加剧压力的社会问题。

这部作品的导演、国际传播学专业的李旭说：“在整个拍摄制作过程中，最有意义的部分是我们的团队合作。大家畅所欲言、相互启发，碰撞出新的火花，最大地激活创造力。”

“这次经历也让我们对日语背后的文化有了新的理解。”李旭接着说，“学习不同的语言，实际上也影响了我们看待世界的和表达思想的方式。”

“这次的电影大赛意在鼓励学生们进行创造性的团队合作，呈现学校的全球化和多元化视角。”

Penelope Franco补充说道：“在宁诺，学生可以通过必修或选修的方式来学习外语，提高他们的跨文化理解力和沟通交流能力，让他们毕业时在国际就业环境中更具竞争力。”

Language skills of students on show at Short Film Competition

On 14 April,the Language Centre in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) organised the first Short Film Competition. This was an opportunity for students to showcase both their film-making skills and their talent to work in French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. International students were invited to make films in Mandarin.

Six films were shortlisted for the final stage of the competition. Sakanani, (made by students of Japanese) won multiple awards: Best Direction, Best Photography, and the coveted Audience Prize. Avant Mai, made by students of French, was named Best Movie and won the award for Best Screenplay. Penthouse, a Korean-language entry, won for Best Performance.

Thanking the students for their participation Penelope Franco, the Director of the Language Centre, said that she was very proud of them and was impressed by both their creativity and their film-making talent. She was particularly pleased by the high level of students’ language skills on display, reflecting their hard work and commitment.

Sakanani revolves around a student about to graduate, a theme that resonates with many final year students who, like the central character, may feel confused and uncertain about the future. The film depicts her thoughts and feelings, expressing her wish to be as free as a fish and not feel compelled to do things she does not like.

Explaining why they chose this topic and use fish as a metaphor, the production team said that Japan is a “high pressure” country, and many Japanese films reflect how social issues add to this pressure.

Xu Li, a student in the School of International Communication and Director of Sakanani, recalled the most meaningful part of working on the film was the teamwork. Everyone bounced their ideas around to inspire each other and to be as creative as possible.

“This experience gave us a new understanding of the culture behind Japanese language,” said Xu. “So, learning different languages actually affects the way we view the world and express our thoughts.”

Penelope Franco added that the film competition reflects the global and multi-cultural perspective of UNNC and encourages students to work creatively in teams. Students at UNNC have the opportunity to study foreign languages as part of their course or as elective modules. This improves their ability to understand and communicate across cultures and makes our graduates extremely attractive to employers across the world.
