(Disabled Novel, DVD PAL, 19 mins)
The film script of “Disabled Novel” is based on the eponymous novel I wrote. This film has no dialogue and is divided into 13 parts, 90% of which consists of internal soliloquy. Using the theme of “lost” as a starting point, the film lays bare the odd sense of melancholy that parades life. Transferring reality, memory and fantasy, it reconstructs the psychological pathways of urban life with broken fragments.
＜殘話小說＞的電影文本是根據本人所寫的一本同名小說為藍本。全片為默片，分13節， 95%為內心獨白。以“lost”作為起始，拷問生活中莫名的惆悵感。內容穿梭現實、回憶、幻象，以殘段組織個人生命在城市生活的心理軌跡。
The 16th ifva Jury Meeting Transcript
Jury Members: Ann Hui, Yip Yuk Yiu, Shek Kei, Lorna Tee, Vernie Yeung ifva representatives: Teresa Kwong, Kattie Fan
Ann Hui: I like《disabled novel》, which I find quite refreshing and interesting. It handles the juxtaposition of different realities very well. Very often those of us who make films or are involved in creativity may observe people on the streets, but it is hard to come up with fresh ideas and feelings. This film gives me a lot of feelings. Also it is very quiet, and uses very few elements.
Shek Kei: The director only used subtitles.
Ann Hui: Usually such works are hard to do because they can often appear cliched and boring. But I was never bored when watching this film.
Shek Kei: Is it because it is short?
Ann Hui: Perhaps, but I didn’t mind. I just kept watching, and I felt that its observations and the feelings it creates are exactly those that I experience when I am in this city.
第十六屆香港獨立短片及錄像比賽
評判：許鞍華, 葉旭耀, 石琪, 鄭碧雪, Vernie Yeung ifva代表：鄺珮詩，范可琪
許鞍華：我蠻喜歡《殘話小說》，它很refreshing和interesting。同時它掌握了不同現實碰撞出來的東西，很多時候，我們這些拍戲或做creativity的人，走在街上觀察到一些東西，是撞擊不到東西或感覺出來的，這部戲時常給我感覺。還有它很靜很靜，當中用到的元素是最小的。
石琪：它好像只是用了字幕。
許鞍華：通常這種作品很難討好會讓人覺得它很舊和很悶，但我一直看也不覺得悶。
石琪︰因為它很短？
許鞍華︰可能是，但我沒計較。我一直看，只覺得它的observation和撞擊出來的感覺，是我身處現在這個城市會遇上的那種感覺。通常這種作品很難討好，但我不覺得悶。

「羅玉梅很明顯屬於我們通常稱為〝觀念派〞的藝術家。她的碩士論文的主題，選擇的是仔細研究當代的造型藝術家如何既以書作為創造媒材又作為表現內容，創作了同一主題的系列作品。在她的論文裡，羅玉梅沒有停留在對當代造型藝術如何以書作為媒材進行創作的精采描述，她還清楚地闡明了自己的藝術實踐，為讀者提供了在當代藝術展覽中經常缺乏的一種東西：即造型藝術家所作的思考，她既為自己作品難以理解的視覺空間作了澄清，事實上亦為作品增加了一維輔助空間。」
