本地競賽: 特別表揚
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!
Collaborating with Giloo, Fresh Wave International Short Film Festival has created its own online streaming platform where the past short films will be launched in turn. This platform not only provides the audience with viewing the short films again but also strives for getting in touch with more people. The first-round released short films are those award-winning titles from international or local film festivals. There will be more features coming up. Please stay tuned with us!
Nearly one quarter of Canada’s population was born outside the country. Every path that leads someone here is far more than a straight line between two points. These paths may differ greatly, yet they resonate with one another. Centred on diaspora communities, this film series hopes to explore, through these works, the long negotiation with memory, language, identity, and belonging that people face after crossing national borders. Along these winding paths of migration, we are invited to rethink what home means. Equally important, we are invited to consider how we might better understand one another. Special thanks to our film selectors: Helena WU (Assistant Professor, UBC Asian Studies), Charlie SMITH (Editor, Pancouver), and becky (TAIWANfest team).
