一直記得這個人往雪中走去的背影卻沒有打開來看。 工業國家轉型方程式，幾乎等同於輾壓原先的生活肌理，代以一種幾乎沒人能全權審議，卻又不得不拚命追趕的工業核心生產模式。 臺灣人當然會熟悉這種成長路徑：以農養工，最終被工業取代的1950~1980。工傷撫卹爭議，黑社會、政府、民間之角力，也都不是陌生事。 我猜想，其中酸溜之處在於，後進國家的建設總是追趕的，而我猜想追趕者不能不說是心懷焦慮：不想成為落後的中國，不想要成為被人看不起的地方，要成為先進而偉大的國家，要在世界佔有一席之地。 因而必須繼續建設下去。儘管有人落在後頭也必須建設下去。因為我們總有一天會被看得起，而終於不用再繼續疲倦地狂奔。 這份憂傷不過是我的幻想，卻又覺得無比熟悉。
大路朝天 「中國共產黨的信仰就是貪污腐敗」 「世界高速公路擁有量排名中，中國是印度的 371 倍，整個英國不及一個陝西省」 「從 2008 到 2012 年，中國境內垮了 37 座橋。」 這部以章節式呈現，在攝影組被公路認為自己人的情況下拍出高速公路背後的國家預言警示故事，見證黨天下的完成任務刻不容緩又超不講裡，就算講理也只是說說而已，為了中國偉大復興簡直人檔殺人佛擋殺佛的做法，誰都要讓開‧ 給紅包送禮給相關人員不手軟，付給下面的人卻東拖西拖還理直氣壯，上面做事問題下面慘遭當擋箭盤，一部分人故意騙下層人，文明建設下卻是有那麼不堪的過程，為了共產黨少數人利益，在多的犧牲也不過就是小事，而且不發生時還只是上一任國家領導時期，讓人二刷後一樣無冷場一樣不勝唏噓‧
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.
In resonance with the 2024 TIDF (Taiwan International Documentary Festival) theme, Giloo has curated 10 past TIDF nominated or award-winning films. We invite you to explore an alternative reality of the world through the lenses of labor, protest, and migration.
Behind the Chinese Communist Party’s aggressive rhetoric and military intimidation toward the free world lies a darker truth—one that is hidden beneath the polished image of national “rise” under Xi Jinping’s leadership. In this heavily surveilled state behind a modern-day iron curtain, the people themselves have become mere stepping stones in the dictator’s grand imperial fantasy. It’s not only the marginalized who are oppressed, but anyone who dares to long for their inalienable rights—for freedom, dignity, and truth. Giloo presents a selection of independent documentaries from China, guiding you into a reality both dazzling and dark. Inside the borders built by walls, beware the quiet yearning of the soul—for freedom cannot be killed, only contained.
“Truth” is an eternal theme in many forms of artistic creation—and in documentary filmmaking, it lingers like a ghostly shadow, both elusive and indispensable. Sometimes, it must be borrowed for its power and allure. Yet “truth” never takes on a single form. It resists capture and depiction, and most often, only reveals itself through relentless excavation. In other words, truth is dynamic—shaped by the creator’s deliberate force of expression. The deeper the dive, the clearer the image. Truth in the human world can be inspiring, but it can also be unbearable to witness. That is exactly what these five films in this special program attempt to show us.
"Anthropocene" is a collaborative production by the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and Italy's MAST Foundation in Bologna. It utilizes breathtaking images, films, and immersive experiences to convey humanity's impact on the Earth. The exhibition features works co-created by internationally renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky and acclaimed documentary filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier. In addition to its exhibition in Canada, the show toured Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Argentina from 2020-2023. This touring exhibition in Taiwan marks the first time that local artists Chi Po-lin, Yang Shun-fa, Lucas, and Lu Yu-jui have been included, collectively exploring the impact of the "Anthropocene" on the planet and re-examining the relationship between human-made landscapes, geological changes, and natural ecosystems.
