The AAGFF Festival Lounge aims to provide a comfortable, relaxed, and open area for visitors to rest and recharge while waiting for screenings. The public can interact with one another, share intellectual discussions, and experience M+ beyond its everyday operations.
The lounge’s programme primarily consists of five parts: art installations, pop-up talks, workshops, vinyl DJ sets, and guided tours led by M+ curators. Eunice Tsang (Associate Curator, Moving Image, M+), who conceived the entire lounge programme, hopes to promote public participation in art events through this space. Visitors are encouraged to cultivate their curiosities and build unexpected connections. To facilitate these encounters, many art installations at the Festival Lounge have interactive elements, such as Cards of Chinese Animal Idioms: Legends in Human World by Mountain River Jump!. In this work, the artist duo combines digital technology and painting to reinterpret traditional forms of divination, breaking down the impression of art as inaccessible, serious, and obscure.
「電影節蒲點」是M+為「亞洲前衛電影節」專門設立的藝術空間，旨在提供一個舒適、輕鬆、開放式的憩息點，讓大家在等待電影的閒暇之餘，亦能與不同人互動，交流感悟，激發創意共鳴和學術討論，體驗M+有別平日的面貌。
「電影節蒲點」主要由五個部分組成，分別為藝術裝置、快閃講座、工作坊、黑膠唱片DJ表演，以及由M+策展人帶領的導賞團。構思「電影節蒲點」的M+流動影像副策展人曾智愛怡（Eunice）坦言希望透過這個空間鼓勵公眾主動參與藝術活動，以輕鬆好奇的心態與在場不同人士暢所欲言地交流想法，建立聯繫。為此，場內不少藝術裝置均帶有互動元素，如由「山河跳！」二人組創作的《人間傳說之動物成語占卜卡》。她們結合繪畫和數碼科技重新詮釋了傳統占卜的奧妙，讓公眾發現並不是所有藝術都是難以觸及、嚴肅且晦澀的。
Tsang has expressed excitement to be part of this first effort to put together an event of this nature. For this occasion, she specially enlisted creatives active in different fields to participate in the event, breaking down various boundaries. Visitors can not only appreciate the thought-provoking screenings, but also explore and participate in artistic creations, experiencing the vibrant and passionate side of M+.
這是M+首次舉辦此類型活動，Eunice直言難掩心中期待，為此更特意邀請活躍在不同領域的創作者前來參與助陣，打破各種框架，讓大家在欣賞目不暇給的電影之餘，亦能盡情探索、參與藝術創作，體驗M+積極及熱情的一面。
