wú běn 无本 Magazine #7
《无本》自创刊以来，一直以“本地电影的生产现场”为关注核心。然而在今日的影像生态中，“本地”本身已不再是一个可以轻易指认的坐标。一些作品落在模糊地带：主角来自外籍，却承载地方叙事；演员为本地人，导演却来自台湾；制作经费跨国流通、后期团队散落在数座城市；那究竟谁拥有影片的“国籍”？
因此，第七刊以“七年之痒”作为策划切口。在跨界、跨国、跨语境的合作模式中，电影的身份认同正被重新生成。所谓“痒”，是身体感知 - 意味着成长到新的阶段时，那层原有的皮开始准备脱落。
《无本》依然是“无本”。我们持续聚焦本地电影，记录其生长、挣扎与变形。但在第七刊，我们选择以一种带着玩味与蜕变的方式，象征着本地电影正进入一个更为复杂、广阔、跨界合作的阶段。
第七刊，是一次叛逆的 “出走”。 我们邀请读者与我们共同经受这份七年的“痒”： 到边界上去，到交界处去，去观看那些正在生长的形状！
Since its inception, wú běn has focused on the “production scenes of local cinema.” Yet in today’s image making ecosystem, “local” is no longer a coordinate that can be easily defined. Some works exist in ambiguous spaces: protagonists who are foreign but carry local narratives; local actors directed by a Taiwanese filmmaker; production funds flowing across borders and post-production teams scattered across multiple cities. So who, then, owns the “nationality” of a film?
Issue No. 7 approaches this question through the theme of “the seven year itch.” In modes of collaboration that cross disciplines, nations, and contexts, a film’s sense of identity is being re-shaped. The so called “itch” is a bodily sensation signaling that as one grows into a new phase, the old layer of skin begins to loosen.
No Budget remains wú běn. We continue to focus on local cinema, documenting its growth, struggles, and transformations. But in this seventh issue, we choose a tone of playfulness and metamorphosis, symbolizing how local filmmaking is entering a more complex, expansive, and cross border stage.
Issue No. 7 is a rebellious “departure.” We invite readers to experience this seventh year “itch” with us: to go to the edges, to the thresholds, to witness the new forms emerging into being.
