安妮華達在《無法無家》這部電影裡，使用了紀錄片的視角，透過一名年輕的流浪女之死，述說著這名看似放蕩不羈、離經叛道的年輕女孩，她的流浪在各種階級、各種背景、各種心境的人眼中，折射出怎麼樣的，個人乃至接近私密式的凝視。他們凝視著她，一如凝視著那個失落的、心虛的、悲傷的、孤獨的自己。
當時的法國電影圈從製片、導演、工作人員，再到影評人、電影史學家，清一色是男性，華達是 1958-1962 年間唯一一位拍攝長片的女導演。成名作《五點到七點的克萊歐》距離她第一部作品隔了七年（期間三部短片有兩部是觀光局委製），正是因為她不被看重，找不到資金，最後不得不靠先生傑克德米引薦當時新浪潮電影的製作人博勒加德。
“I live by my own standards—not by men’s.” She was a director, a cinematographer, a poet, an installation artist, a key figure of the French New Wave. She was a woman. She filmed her muses, scavengers, drifters, distant uncles, lost lovers—and herself. She wandered through the Left Bank of Paris, strolled down Rue Daguerre, flew to San Francisco and Cuba, and eventually returned to the beach she loved most. She was Agnès Varda. This August, Giloo presents 14 handpicked works by Varda—black and white, color, documentary, fiction, film stock, and DV. Two years after her farewell, we invite you to once again meet her—at her sharpest, and her kindest.
The Women Make Waves International Film Festival in Taiwan is Asia’s first issue-based film festival focusing on women. Since its founding 29 years ago, it has been dedicated not only to promoting women's work in cinema but also to introducing Taiwanese audiences to films rich in gender discourse and humanistic vision. Giloo presents a curated selection of award-winning and officially selected films from the festival — both fiction and documentary — inviting you to revisit and celebrate these powerful works.
“We are all in one fight, and our freedom is all the same freedom.” — Far From the Tree Poverty, disability, illness, gender, race, or non-normative forms of labor—at first glance, our lives and bodies may seem worlds apart. But such differences can make us forget what we share as human beings: love and desire, dignity and pain, vulnerability and the need to be seen. Let’s watch a film. No one is an island. Somewhere in the story, you’ll find the corner that connects to your own.
A modern-day tragic woman who endures humiliation, sells herself, and even kills for love—branded with infamy and endless tears, yet still relentlessly pursues true affection. A free-spirited café waitress who casts wild and whimsical spells to rewrite her daily life. Four legendary actresses come together on camera for the first time, sharing laughter and stories from over half a century of friendship. A mysterious wandering nanny revealed to be the most iconic street photographer of our time. A drifter who gave up everything, carrying only a humble tent, living a lawless, homeless life at the edge of the world. These women all have one thing in common—they defy expectations and live life on their own terms.
While watching a film, you’ve probably thought: If only I could be there too. Whether it’s the long journeys the characters take or the breathtaking scenery that stuns you into silence. John Berger once asked: “Did you come by photograph or by train? Every photograph is a means of transportation.” So take these documentaries as letters from afar— Let them lead you into unimagined journeys, Into lands you’ve never set foot in.
