漫畫家／插畫家高妍創作的長篇漫畫作品《綠之歌 -收集群風-》，近日入選了日本寶島社2023年度《這本漫畫真厲害！》票選「男性篇」的第９名，成為首位登上排行榜的台灣漫畫家。這本描寫台灣少女在接觸音樂與文學的大學生活中，一邊感受戀愛悸動、一邊慢慢成長過程的作品，引用了《一一》、《青春電幻物語》等台日經典電影元素。趁著年底大選，Giloo紀實影音邀請到目前旅居日本、快閃返台投票的高妍參與全新節目「Giloo Podcast」，與我們分享她喜愛的電影，以及這些養分如何長成創作時的無數靈動瞬間。
我十幾歲時初次看《一一》這部電影，那時對台灣新浪潮電影或是楊德昌導演的地位一無所知，只是對創作有了模糊的憧憬，正四處尋覓著所謂「經典」，來校對、摸索自己的品味。雖然在我觀看時，《一一》已是十年前的作品，但我仍在其中感受到極為切身的當代性，那感受之強，讓我在螢幕面前屏息，有種全身毛細孔都被打開的震撼，從未有人如此嚴肅地講述關於「我」的故事。
Compared to his contemporaries, Edward Yang was more evidently influenced by European auteurs. His films are often set in contemporary Taipei, characterized by sharp, articulate dialogue and scenarios that reflect a distinctly urban sensibility and a strong sense of modernist aesthetics.
Trying to become the ideal adult, only to realize that no matter your age, the fear of the unknown never truly fades? With limited life experience, we struggle to survive in an ever-changing world. We become parents, yet still carry the weight of our own upbringing. Here are five soul-nourishing cinematic “coming-of-age remedies” to help you rediscover your original self and strength—bring along your inner child and taste the essence of growth: Yi Yi, a Taiwanese New Wave masterpiece, reflects the quiet milestones of growing up. When dreams fall apart, All About Lily Chou-Chou captures the angst of disillusioned youth. Lost your way? Get gloriously drunk with Another Round, the Oscar-winning Danish hit. Feeling bound by your roots? Draw rebellious inspiration from Afghanistan’s maverick filmmaker in Nothingwood. And if loneliness creeps in, turn to the extraordinary lives of creators like Cheng Wen, Steve Jobs, Yayoi Kusama, and Agnès Varda. Sometimes, growing up isn’t about letting go of your inner child—but learning how to walk with them.
The Kishu An Book Festival aims to overturn the stereotype of books as dull or monotonous by infusing literature with vibrant musical elements and bringing artistic experiences into everyday life. Through engaging sessions led by guest speakers, participants are invited to discover how closely literature resonates with their own lives. The 2022 edition of the festival, themed “Musical Narrative: Music x Reading”, featured lectures, performances, an online film screening series, and a themed marketplace. It brought together music critics, writers, and singer-songwriters who navigate both the literary and musical worlds, sharing how they translate experiences between these forms and explore unique modes of expression and interpretation.

In pursuit of happiness, we sometimes end up unhappy. Youth is always dazzling—and cruel. Family ties are always volatile—and tender. Yet it’s often only in the aftermath of youth that we begin to understand: happiness cannot be frozen in time. This sticky, sun-drenched summer, Giloo presents 11 masterworks on family and fleeting joy—beginning with Shunji Iwai’s All About Lily Chou-Chou and closing with Edward Yang’s Yi Yi. From Ang Lee’s Father Knows Best trilogy to Tsai Ming-liang’s Water Trilogy, with appearances by Hou Hsiao-hsien and Hirokazu Kore-eda along the way, each film explores the paradox of happiness, or perhaps the quiet truth that happiness—like memory—can never be held still.
For many, half of their family stories unfold at the dining table. Take Eat Drink Man Woman, where family storms brew and erupt between courses, or The Wedding Banquet, whose banquet scene captures what it means to live under “five thousand years of sexual repression.” The other half of those stories often lies beneath the table—hidden in secrets and silence. Like the cryptic relatives in The Walchensee Forever, or the adults in Yi Yi, each burdened with their own quiet thoughts. This Lunar New Year, after the family feast, gather once more—for a film. Let your family story play out on screen.
The Future Makers Selection 2022 is now underway. We spoke to the jury about their vision of a “Future Maker”: Is it the kind of talent the world urgently needs? A bold change-maker? Or perhaps someone like Top Gun’s Maverick—fearless, unconventional, and unapologetically themselves? Every year, we search for emerging voices across Taiwan—young individuals who are reshaping what “success” means through their actions. If you're still searching for what a future leader might look like, the jurors have recommended a few films to broaden your horizons. May these stories inspire your youthful heart—and give you the courage to step into the vast world ahead.

The masters of cinema have walked through the river of light and shadow, leaving behind traces that time cannot erase. Their reflections on film are already sealed within every frame they captured. Giloo presents a selection of restored classics from Taiwan—films that carry not only cinematic legacy, but also fragments of memory, identity, and land. Whether these works are part of your earliest film awakenings or a first encounter, they invite you to rediscover your connection to both self and home. Step aboard the reel, and journey back to the golden years—belonging to both Taiwan, and to cinema itself.
The recent buzz around “the multiverse” ultimately points to something simple yet profound: our lives are shaped by the choices we make—big or small, moment by moment. Each film in this selection invites you to reflect on your own path. Was there a decision you made at a certain time that led you to become who you are today? And have you ever found yourself wondering— what if I had chosen differently? What would my life look like now?
