《前進》後記--- 「解嚴、戒嚴跟環境有什麼關係?」這是在製作這部片時,最常被問起的話,其實不只有關,當年像是反杜邦、李長榮圍場、反核運動、宜蘭反六輕…,許多環境運動,都是台灣推動民主化的助力之一。 然而,除了回顧過去,了解當下發生的事情,我們更想知道每一場風起雲湧的環境運動過後,留下什麼?公民的選擇決定了什麼樣的未來,而環境運動又是如何轉變,於是我們給自己一個很大的命題,環境運動三十年。(簡直是自找麻煩,折磨自己啊~~) 108分鐘很短,三十年的故事很長,…很難說得完。細究每場運動,參與其中的每個關鍵人物,當下的每個選擇與決定,都深遠著影響著現在,三十年後再來看,一切的結果更加清晰。 這是用生命寫就的未竟歷史!影片中,一些在街頭上曾相會的熟悉身影,現在他們已經到另一個世界當天使了,也看到一些抗爭者、運動者,他們從青年到中年,頭髮漸白了,臉上多了智慧的痕跡,仍繼續堅持倡議,為環境奮戰。 影像是個照妖鏡,照出歲月,清楚變化,照出是前進或後退,台灣,歷經三次政黨輪替,什麼變了,什麼沒變呢? 如果你熟悉這些事件,那麼請和我們一起回顧,那段曾經一起打拼過的日子。如果你不熟悉,那就當它是一本動態的歷史備忘錄吧,只要花108分鐘,就可以了解不同時代的覺醒者,在這三十幾年來的生命片段。 因為說不完,所以從第一分鐘到最後一分鐘,都一直在說話(這是要逼死誰..) ,但是還是說不完,最後忍痛砍掉了許多事件與故事,但沒有關係,就一代接著一代,繼續接力寫著…
有一群人用生命寫歷史,也用一生的青春歲月,為台灣環境鞠躬盡瘁。「前進」紀錄片呈現了台灣自1980年至2018年間,近四十年來,從戒嚴禁錮的時代,就為了守護自己的故鄉,或為台灣生靈與土地,不畏強權、日夜打拼,他們的歷史與故事必須被記得、理解,我們才能從中累積經驗,以更寬廣的視野與智慧,迎接未來各種新挑戰! 台灣的環境運動,是從1980年代的草根反公害抗爭開展而來。「前進」紀錄片爬梳了近三十幾年來,較具代表性的環境運動事件。從台中三晃農藥廠、新竹李長榮、鹿港反杜邦,再到反對石化業擴張的五輕、六輕、七輕、八輕,以及反核、反高汙染高耗能產業,水土與空氣汙染等環境議題。 影片的核心價值,是呈現人們爭取自主選擇權的奮鬥歷程,各地公民不斷透過對話凝聚共識,甚至衝撞政治箝制、挑戰大財團,成功或失敗的過往,都值得我們細細體會。而紀錄片的觀點是由不同世代的人,自主展現進步的價值觀,挑戰耗竭環境的經濟發展模式,爭取世代與環境的正義。 「前進」紀錄片不只記錄運動歷史,更探討未來,並且關注汙染輸出的責任。他就像一面鏡子,映照了不同時代的掌權者,為這塊土地所留下的是資產、還是負債?他給人民帶來的是幸福還是痛苦?從三、四十來的歷史紀錄來看,也處處顯露著警示;我們是否願意在經濟疲弱的時候,仍然以環境為優先?是否願意降低能源需求,來減少環境的負擔?也是否永遠真誠實踐環境優先、永續的普世價值? 三十幾年來,台灣公民以不畏懼、不退縮的勇氣,進行各種環境自力救濟與抗爭行動。目前,仍然有許多的關口,需要繼續堅持與突破,這是在環境前進之後的未竟之戰!

設置在台北電影節之下的台北電影獎,一直是提攜、鼓勵台灣電影創作者的重要獎項。除了每屆都會評選出的最佳紀錄片之外,在最大獎「百萬首獎」的競爭中,紀錄片也經常掄元,曾經在2010-2014年間連續五年拿下大獎,顯現紀錄片在台灣電影創作中的豐沛活力。今年雖然因賽制改變,入圍名單⋯⋯

作為台灣重要影展之一的台北電影節,向來是影迷們每年6、7月間的盛事。雖然以劇情片為主流的綜合性影展裡,紀錄片常被淹沒成為無足輕重的配角,然而北影近年來對紀錄片開始關注,特別是針對那些形式、題材特殊的作品,不僅於2017年介紹了尤里・安卡拉尼(Yuri Ancarani)這位風格介於⋯⋯
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.
Other than observation from the center, the South Taiwan Film Festival serves as reflections on social stereotypes, the perspectives of locality; of course, there are over two decades of expectation of avant-garde spirit. By a serious of recommendations of South-Award and panorama programs, along with Giloo, we feast you with the most vivid spirit of the South.

Is justice truly equal for all before the law? Like a queen’s chastity once deemed unquestionable, what happens when rigid systems confront the complexity of human nature and circumstance? Who ultimately defines fairness and justice? A wrongful conviction that dragged on for two decades, a protest movement that pitted flesh and blood against authoritarian rule, a death row inmate executed to the cheers of the public—what role did the “law” play in each of these cases? Should we rise up to question the banality of evil, or quietly submit to it? “Judiciary Class” is a name adapted from the popular Korean series Itaewon Class, drawing on the dual meaning of “classroom” and “course.” It symbolizes a shared space for audiences to learn and grow through the films and writings featured in this program—inviting thoughtful debate, diverse perspectives, and deeper exploration of legal and ethical ideas.

The struggle is far from over—Taiwan still needs a revolution. From the tangwai movement during the late Martial Law era to more recent protests like the Sunflower Movement and opposition to the Sixth Naphtha Cracker Plant, Taiwan’s people have repeatedly challenged authority. Through collective action, they’ve reshaped public policy and redefined the island’s political landscape. Giloo presents a curated selection of documentaries on Taiwan’s social movements—capturing the pivotal moments, the key players, and the tensions that shaped them. As we revisit these movements through film, we ask: After all that Taiwan has experienced, how many issues still call on us to stand up and take action?
Men and women who leave their hometowns to make a living in Kabukicho, a surreal life that unfolds after a same-sex wedding, Amis people fishing for baby eels in the depths of night, a band using music to challenge the system… Through innovative short documentaries, filmmakers capture vivid portraits of people and moments in contemporary society. Join Giloo in diving into the heart of these issues, broadening your perspective, and exploring the rich diversity of today’s world.
