【卫报】苏格兰学生的电影短片入围戛纳电影节丨第78期

"I'm pretty amazed ... Cannes is Cannes ... You think there must have been a mistake," he said after receiving the news this week. Stewart, 27, from Leith, left the National Film and Television School a few weeks ago, having completed a two-year master's degree in directing fiction.

“我非常震惊......那可是戛纳就是戛纳啊......你肯定在想你想这肯定是搞错了一定会有错误，”他在这周接到消息的时候这样说道。 来自利斯的Stewart今年27岁，他在英国国立电影电视学院学习了两年内取得了完成了导演编剧方向的学士硕士学位，几周前从该学校毕业。

Wild Horses, which he wrote and directed, is about a teenage girl who has myalgic encephalopathy (ME), or chronic fatigue syndrome. Housebound by the condition, and struggling with her over-protective mother, she runs away from home, searching for a horse and trying to establish her independence.

他创作并导演的《野马》讲述了一个关于患有肌痛性脑病（简称ME，即慢性疲劳综合症）的小女孩的故事。小女孩因为疾病足不出户疾病使小女孩足不出户，母亲的过度保护反而激起了她的反抗，并且和其有过度保护欲的妈妈对抗，于是她踏上了离家的征途出走，去寻找找寻一匹马，努力地让自己独立起来尽力去证明自己可以自立。

Describing the inspiration for his film, Stewart said: "I have a very close friend who has ME, an illness that can be very destructive both physically and mentally, so that was the seed.

当谈及电影灵感时，他说这样形容到：“我有一个和我亲密无间的朋友，他患有ME，这是一种对生理和心理上都极具破坏性的疾病，这就是创作的种子。”

"At first, what interested me was the experience of going outside after years of being housebound. The idea that you become almost awed by simple things like riding the bus is both funny and heartbreaking.

“刚开始的时候起初，我对于他的户外经历很感兴趣，毕竟他足不出户有很多年了我感兴趣的是多年不出家门后想要逃离的经历。后来听到他说他对你会惊叹于一些简单如乘公交车的小事情感到很惊奇的时候，我在感到有趣的同时也倍感心酸比如乘公交车——这些想法既有趣也令人心碎。”
