STILL：Listening in Stillness／
在寂靜之中聽見寂靜
導演 | 呂威聯
台灣出生並先後旅居在印尼、美國及荷蘭的新銳導演－呂威聯 (William LÜ), 在不斷移動、接觸不同語言狀態的成長經驗中，經常面對語言表達中一種”卡住”的狀態。相較於許許多多，或許竭盡所能也 ”說不出來” 的東西，肉眼的細膩觀察，和更為直接的肢體動作，似乎破除了語言的界線，傳遞出更深層的內在經驗。對他而言，身體與舞蹈是一種在寂靜之中，卻能夠實際碰觸到世界的另一種聲音。
前身為舞者的電影導演呂威聯(William Lü)， 在查普曼大學接受專業的舞蹈訓練，並成為備受讚譽的美國當代舞蹈公司Backhausdance創始成員之ㄧ。 2007、2008年他在 Backhausdance的舞作，獲得了萊斯特•霍頓獎（The Lester Horton Awards）；他的編舞作品也曾在洛杉磯Dorothy Chandler Pavilion，KCET / PBS電視台、荷蘭露天音樂節等展出。
呂威聯在2012年首度嚐試的舞蹈電影風格(a dance film)，為我們帶來了一種嶄新的觀影經驗；舞蹈電影，顧名思義是透過極為細膩的舞蹈與身體動作，來引導出整部電影的敘事與結構。< Partita for One > 是他第一部關於舞蹈電影的創作，這部影片曾受邀於蘇格蘭舞蹈電影節及英國BBC Big Screen放映。 ＜STILL＞ 是他的第二部舞蹈電影作品，這部電影獲得了2014年國際無聲電影節(International Speechless Film Festival) Best of the Fest 獎項、2015年 Festigious電影節的最佳音樂獎、以及西班牙Festival Fiver 電影節的電影與舞蹈特別獎。
他的舞蹈電影，關注的是一種生活中的身體：微乎其微的日常動作、承載情感的身體、思考的身體、矛盾的身體、記憶的身體、困頓的身體、溫柔的身體；皆透過身體的動作、一種生於日常的舞蹈，說出表演者／觀看者的經驗與故事。
他最近搬到台北，持續他的電影創作。
