The Inspired Island
The documentary seeks to use film as a medium to preserve and share the lives and legacies of prominent Chinese-language writers. Guided by each director’s unique cinematic language, these films transform literary masters into cinematic texts—introducing their voices to new generations of readers. The project goes beyond archival preservation. It aims to reveal how these authors and their works continue to move and inspire, carrying powerful resonance through the shifting tides of history—ultimately becoming a literary and cultural heritage for future generations.
K Series
In response to the partial reopening during the 2021 pandemic, the Kaohsiung Film Archive launched the “K Series” project—a collection of ultra-short films titled with the letter “K.” The “K” stands for both Kaohsiung and the spirit of “K.O.”—knocking out all restrictions and limitations brought by the pandemic. Shot entirely in Kaohsiung and produced in less than two months, these short films overcame countless obstacles during the COVID era. Each bite-sized story bursts with creative power, reflecting the life struggles five emerging directors sought to break through—be it the fading traces of the old city, familial bonds in a movie theater, generational conflict between mother and daughter, the desolate search for queer desire in an apocalyptic world, or the vicious cycle of gossip and rumors in the internet age. With each story shaped by a distinct directorial voice, the “K Series” showcases the boundless creative possibilities that emerged in the shadow of a global crisis.
