"This is a progress update video, not the final film." A female college student had a scheduled appointment with a psychologist that day, but she agreed to accompany her grandmother to her younger cousin's school instead. After the meeting, she discovered that the school had misled her cousin, downplaying the bullying incident as a simple argument among classmates. This made her resistant due to her grandmother's habitual avoidance, similar to how her family failed to address her past sexual abuse by her older brother. During their brief time together, she realized she might be the only "family" who can support her cousin through tough times, creating a new connection with her grandmother.
In August 2022, Giloo pioneered the "Giloo Fest 2023," launching an innovative experiment combining crowdfunding with short film proposals. The event attracted 343 Chinese-language short film project entries from around the globe, with 20 teams ultimately advancing to the finals. Thanks to the encouragement and support of numerous participants, we are thrilled to announce the grand premiere of the first wave of results this April! These nominated works cover a wide range of subjects, deeply reflecting issues of concern in the contemporary Chinese-speaking world. Come quickly and see the brilliant works from these teams!
