造成這明確轉向的原因，或許來自華達對於死亡態度的改變。原本，創作本身便涵納著一種抵禦死亡的衝動，但到了九十歲，她似乎已經真正如同片中她曾為《南特傑克》受訪時所說的，不再想要抗拒時間或暫停時間，而是想要融入時間之中。願意去面對死亡、直視死亡。所以，在這部夫子自道的紀錄片前半段，多屬於劇情片的那部份，她選入⋯⋯
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.
Film is one of the fastest ways to get to know a country. In just an hour or so, a movie can take you through its streets, speak its language, and tell its stories from the inside out. Don’t worry—we’re not here to dive into complex geopolitical debates. In this film program, you’ll meet a wild rock band raising chaos in North Korea, a group of Danish men who really love to drink, and witness the everyday madness of the Russian “warrior people” through dashcam footage. These films don’t aim to explain entire nations. Instead, they focus on the little things—the strange, funny, messy bits of daily life. And isn’t it exactly these small moments that, together, make up the kaleidoscope of a country?
A decisive moment captured by the shutter becomes eternal—freezing not only time, but the legends behind the lens. Giloo presents the "Moments the Shutter Caught" documentary series, inviting viewers into the lives of master photographers. These artists documented—and at times disrupted—their era. Whether it was a fleeting spark of inspiration or the struggles and wisdom of creation, everything was preserved through the lens, becoming the very essence that nourishes their work.
The exhibition takes “the human” as its central theme, reflecting on what it means to exist as a person in this world. It focuses on the intricate, interwoven relationships between self and self, self and others, and self and both physical and virtual environments. The exhibition title borrows from the existential concept of Dasein, or “being there,” to explore humanity’s presence in the here and now. Through this lens, the exhibition opens up multi-layered philosophical inquiries into the human condition and the nature of existence. In extending this curatorial theme, Jut Art Museum collaborates with Giloo, inviting participating artists to curate a selection of eight remarkable films that center on the question of being human. These works return to the essence of what it means to live as a person—interpreting, reflecting, and questioning the many dimensions of humanity, and inviting audiences to contemplate the meaning and possibilities of being born human.
Before the pandemic, mobility was becoming not just a choice but a necessity—almost a defining feature of modern life. And yet, ironically, it was also becoming harder. You might have held romantic notions about mobility—traveling abroad, for instance. Even the quiet sorrow of Up in the Air still seemed glamorous enough to earn an envious “so lucky, you get to travel so much” at dinner parties. Frequent flyer programs became subtle indicators of social class. But let’s not forget—migrant workers are also people constantly on the move. Signing a work contract and flying into a new country or city—just like many of us—they land, and beyond the job at hand, they must figure out how to live. Food, shelter, transportation… survival isn't just about instinct, but also a reflection of how open and welcoming a city can be. You might get to choose where you live. Or not. Once the commute is sorted, what matters most could be: Where can I grab a bite? Is there a pharmacy or hospital nearby? (Yes, that reveals the writer's age.) Is there a place for a good massage? Where can I meet friends for a drink—or maybe meet someone new? Once those questions are answered, the place starts to feel liveable. Even if it’s just for three months. And love, while in transit, rarely fits into tidy boxes like monogamy shaped by economics and productivity—but that’s a story for another time.
“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.
Since childhood, I’ve often dreamed of being on the move—traveling along roads, crossing landscapes. Over time, I developed a habit of noticing similar scenes in films and documentaries. As long as we keep moving, stories and encounters will unfold naturally. Things begin to get interesting—or not. Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? These questions hover around us like ghosts, always present. This playlist is dedicated to all travelers on Giloo. You don’t need to pack anything. Just hit the road. It’s time to go—Are you coming?
The word “Take Off” carries dozens of meanings—departure, revelation, flight, transformation. Depending on context, it shifts and expands, just like life itself, which rarely conforms to a single shape. We’ve selected ten films, each capturing a different form of transformation. Some tell stories of letting go—of setting off alone on a pilgrimage or retreating into the solitude of the forest. Others follow companions on creative journeys, documenting their explorations along the way. Some films bring us back to the uncertainty of a world shaken by a virus—where vaccines and rapid tests posed impossible questions, and the path forward in a post-pandemic world came without instructions. In these moments, a bit of fantasy in the everyday—or a drink-fueled moment of self-reflection—might just offer clarity. And the journey of transformation doesn’t end with life itself. What do we leave behind? What do we carry with us? Eventually, we arrive at heaven’s door—and perhaps, rebirth.
“Film is the fastest way to get to know a country.” Following the online film program “These Countries, Those Stories”, Mindi returns with six new selections—films that take you through city streets and speak the language of a nation’s soul. From a dashboard camera in Russia capturing everyday chaos, to a young girl in China growing up surrounded by the world’s plastic waste, to a moving art project unfolding in the quiet French countryside—each story may seem small, but it’s through these small moments that a country’s kaleidoscopic identity takes shape.
