大腳桶 如今又有誰能看得破 而我只能自求多福 我只能夠坦然接受 大腳桶 一股冰涼在我心中 什麼時候我才能正大光明地開口跟你說 喝起來像金桔又像檸檬 卻有又可能什麼都不是 （如今我還是要鼓起勇氣走過去 雖然我不夠錢 可是我還是想要跟大腳桶妹搭訕 然後看著她用小杯子把果汁倒到大杯子裏面 我要她加酸一點 加一點檸檬汁 我每次都去叫金桔檸檬 不是葡萄柚檸檬 不是覆盆子檸檬 因為金桔檸檬比較酸 有時候可能是柳橙檸檬還是什麼的）
2:30 Tics： 妥瑞症（Tourette syndrome）的主要症狀，是指一種間歇性出現、不自主的動作或聲音。常見的包括不停的眨眼、蹙鼻、聳肩、搖頭晃腦、晃手、肚皮抖動等動作，也可能出現碰觸別人、複雜的臉部表情扭曲、跺腳等行為。主角黃大旺患有此病症。
5:26 幸福大廈Ｉ拆除前夕 跨年聲音表演： 《幸福大廈Ｉ》（2012）為陳界仁錄像藝術作品，拍攝地在2012年底拆除前夕，舉辦了一場跨年聲音表演。黃大旺及樂團「黑狼那卡西」受邀表演。
15:11 毛爾公園週日卡拉OK： 2012年黃大旺與張又升合組的「民国百年」（Minkoku Hyakunen）聲音作品《百戰天龍》（Integration/Intervention into Tenryu City），獲奧地利電子藝術大獎 （Ars Electronica）「數位音樂與聲音藝術類」榮譽提名。此次歐洲行在柏林短暫的停留時間，黃大旺於毛爾公園參加著名的週日卡拉OK活動。
32:11 開拓動漫祭： 該系列活動有兩個品牌Fancy Frontier（FF）與Petit Fancy（PF），分別於2002年與2004年舉辦第一屆。FF為固定於每年寒、暑假盛大舉行的動漫畫嘉年華會，以同人社團為主體，並邀請日本的動漫製作者、聲優在會場進行座談會、簽名會及舞台活動。PF於每年春、秋兩季舉行，除邀請日本動漫業界人士與聲優進行活動，另舉辦「同人社團原創刊物獎勵辦法」，以鼓勵創作者加入原創行列。
41:42 華光社區： 位於中正紀念堂東南側，舊名「監獄口」。日本殖民時期在此修建刑務所，並在監獄興築官舍、宿舍。隨國軍渡海來臺的大批外省公務員因配給不到宿舍，在長官允諾下，於監獄外空地搭蓋房舍。而後，從中南部北上打拼的城鄉移民，也在欠缺可負擔住屋的情況下陸續搬進華光。2000年後，政府以國土活化名義，將華光居民分為合法眷戶、非法眷戶、違建戶三類處理。華光居民自力組成了自救會、社區發展協會等組織，但最終無法抵抗政府政策。
2014 年，繼台灣的太陽花運動後，香港的雨傘運動也震撼世界。這個以「真普選」為訴求的公民運動，以年輕人為中堅主力，引發數十萬人上街聲援，許多人都是首次走上街頭。幾年之後，多部相關紀錄片陸續問世，毫無疑問，陳梓桓的《亂世備忘》仍是其中最⋯⋯
「越境身體」的五部影片藉由三種迥異有別的影像類型，輝映著某種足以僭越各種邊界甚至交互滲透的身體形態：一，紀實影片的蓄勢身體（《台北抽搐》、《神明事務所》、《默默行》）；二，劇情影片的失能身體（《綠洲》）；三，錄像藝術的重演身體（《女性的復仇》）。
No matter where you are, not just in Taiwan, international movie fans can easily watch too! The first wave of films from emerging creators are now live in our international section. Featuring top selections from prestigious film festivals like Golden Horse Awards and Golden Harvest Awards, as well as many highly anticipated emerging works for you to explore anytime, anywhere!
This year, Giloo teams up with TIDF to curate a special selection of past TIDF nominees and award-winning films. While you're enjoying the festival in person, don’t forget to sneak in a little break and relive (or... redeem?) some of the unforgettable works from previous editions—now available online.
To document an extraordinary soul through the lens is to constantly wrestle with the dilemma of completeness. How can one capture the vastness of a life within the limited time of a film? It challenges the filmmaker’s depth of understanding and precision of perspective. Rather than striving for an all-encompassing portrait, it may be more powerful to focus on select moments—those glimmers that illuminate the subject’s essence. The camera becomes not only a tool to pierce through the surface, but also a means for sincere conversation with the person in front of it.
The body is a vessel—its contents, unspeakable. Encased and bordered, the body is never entirely one’s own. It is governed—by nations, by societies, by ideologies. A body may be incomplete from birth. It may only reveal itself in a fleeting moment. It may only feel whole when it sings. Its darkness becomes whole when it finally takes revenge. Five distinct films illuminate the tension between the body's inner desires and outer image. In Oasis, a woman with cerebral palsy dances and sings with an Indian elephant—if only in a dream. In Silent Steps, Ah-Chung tosses aside his crutch, holding up an entire theater with just his hands. In Miracle, a spirit medium’s quivering, closed-eyed body breaks into another dimension. In TPE-Tics, Huang Da-Wang owns his body only while singing onstage. In The Women’s Revenge, a woman in an eye patch strikes back inside a slaughterhouse, leaving male bodies in blood and shreds. Silent or twitching, imprisoned or forbidden—only when the body crosses a border does it become truly, differently embodied.
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.
What is Taiwan? What does Taiwan have? Our imagination of Taiwan’s future depends on how we choose to read Taiwan. The Taiwanese documentaries selected by Giloo aim to offer a multifaceted and in-depth perspective—allowing us to empathize with the struggles and efforts of the Taiwanese people, uncover the richness of this land, confront its challenges, and analyze the issues that shape life on this island.
