翁維銓(Peter Yung)1949年生於香港,係香港電影導演同攝影家,亦係香港新浪潮導演之一。佢師承兩屆奧斯卡金像獎最佳黑白片攝影獎得主黃宗霑(分別為1956年第28屆同1964年第36屆),1969至1971年修讀攝影並任助理攝影師,1971年獲美國洛杉磯藝術中心設計學院頒授藝術學士,在校期間拍成三十分鐘紀錄片《洛城的一天》;1972年回港任攝影師,1973年舉辦首次個人攝影展,由黃宗霑贊助。佢從事調查式紀錄片拍攝多年,再轉拍劇情片,作品結合紀錄片觀察同戲劇。1979年佢自資並身兼策劃、編劇同導演拍成首部劇情片《行規》,刻畫警察、線人同毒販互相依靠又互相出賣嘅循環關係,以半紀錄手法書寫江湖規矩,係七十年代末最寫實嘅香港電影之一。其後佢拍過以新疆風土為題嘅紀錄片,並出版兩本新疆攝影集,鏡頭下呈現人、土地同文化嘅互動。佢歷任大專院校同專業團體嘅講師、顧問及委員,曾任香港電影導演會執行幹事、香港藝術發展局電影及媒體藝術顧問、香港國際電影節執行委員、香港電影金像獎評審委員同香港亞洲電影投資會評審委員。佢喺八兄弟姊妹中排行第六,家人由潮安移居香港,父親翁銘堅係塑膠商人。1963年佢十四歲首次坐貨船到台灣遊玩,旅途中拍照記錄行程,自此接觸攝影;1968年佢原計劃到洛杉磯藝術中心設計學院升學,因英語未夠而先到南加州大學修讀英文一年,之後正式獲取錄。七十年代佢已專注拍攝以毒品問題為題嘅調查式紀錄片,深入了解毒販、線人同吸毒者嘅處境,呢啲經驗直接催生咗後來嘅《行規》;佢亦以鏡頭記錄新疆嘅人文地貌,先後出版攝影集。

English

Peter Yung was born in Hong Kong in 1949 and works as a film director and photographer, and is one of the directors of the Hong Kong New Wave. He studied under James Wong Howe, the cinematographer who won Academy Awards for black-and-white cinematography in 1956 and 1964, studying photography and working as an assistant cameraman from 1969 to 1971; in 1971 he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, having made the thirty-minute documentary A Day in Los Angeles while there. He returned to Hong Kong in 1972 as a cinematographer and held his first solo photography exhibition in 1973, sponsored by James Wong Howe. He spent years making investigative documentaries before turning to fiction, and his films combine documentary observation with drama. In 1979, self-financing the project and taking on production, writing and directing duties, he completed his debut feature The System, an intimate study of the interdependent yet mutually betraying relations between police, informers and drug dealers, and a landmark of the New Wave. He later made documentaries on Xinjiang and published two photography books on the region, portraying the interaction of people, land and culture. He has served as a lecturer, adviser and committee member for tertiary institutions and professional bodies, as an executive member of the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild, a film and media arts adviser to the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, an executive committee member of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and a juror for the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Hong Kong–Asia Film Financing Forum. Born the sixth of eight children of a Chaozhou family, he was the son of a plastics manufacturer. A cargo-ship trip to Taiwan at fourteen sparked his interest in photography; unable to study art in Los Angeles because of his English, he spent a year improving it at the University of Southern California before being accepted.
