Unheard wishes. Unanswered cries. “Who cares? We’re just the ones left behind.” In the margins of society, lives unfold far from the spotlight. This is an invitation—not to save, but to witness. To step into the shadows, and truly see.
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.
