Golden Bear-winning filmmaker Carla Simón appeared at the 79th Venice International Film Festival with her latest short film Letter to My Mother for My Son. Thanks to the trust of Miu Miu, the initiator of the short film, the author talked to Carla about what goes on behind the scenes. In Letter to My Mother for My Son, Carla Simón reaffirms the value of family. She conveys not a rigid view of family but rather stories of mutual fulfillment among family members across different generations. If human growth is inevitably a collision between individuals and the surrounding world, then the family is like a safety net when we face the harsh realities. Its existence outlines the form of love and teaches us how to pass on these sentiments to the next generation. Through this short film, Carla Simón pays tribute to her family. Despite its fragmented and fleeting nature due to the fragmentation of memory, it still conveys a strong message — that even in hard times, our heart can still be filled with tender hope.
金熊奖获奖者卡拉-西蒙（Carla Simon）携最新短片《Letter to My Mother for My Son》亮相第 79 届威尼斯国际电影节。感谢项目发起人 Miu Miu 的信任，笔者与卡拉聊了聊短片幕后的故事。卡拉在《Letter to My Mother for My Son》中重申了家庭的价值，她所传达的不是一种僵硬的家庭观，而是不同代际间家庭成员互相成就的故事。如果说人的成长必然是一次次个体与周围世界的碰撞，那么家庭就像是我们面对冷酷真相时的保护网，它的存在为我们描摹着爱的形态，也教会了我们如何将这些爱意传递给下一代。Carla Simon用这部短片向她的家庭致敬，它或许因为记忆的碎片化而显得零散而短暂，但仍然完整传递出了暖心的讯息——人生失意时，依然可以充满温柔的希望。
