透過在北韓工作的亞歷山卓卡德班諾斯(Alejandro Cao de Benos,1974)的關係,西班牙籍的阿爾瓦羅・朗格利亞(Alvaro Longoria,1968-)成為第一個在北韓拍攝紀錄片導演。不像其他紀錄片工作者可以放心且自在的採集、運用訪談,朗格利亞首先面對的困境即是是否該相信眼前的一切?且必須核實比對這些見聞的真偽、意識形態,以及立場。

2020年10月以降,Giloo推出「強人製造」單元,選入四部分別對焦俄羅斯、北韓、菲律賓與美國,卻不約而同地前任或現任統治者為題的紀錄片:《戈巴契夫,幸會》、《我愛金正恩》、《大權在后:前第一夫人伊美黛》、《全球搬弄:班農的王者製造地圖》────它們貼身人物,委身神話之側,一頭鑽進他們周身的光環或迷障裡,搜查真相與謊言被建構和解構的來龍去脈,試圖回應上述問題。

From international politics and music to film industry professionals and cultural icons—this curated selection of biographical documentaries offers intimate, eye-level encounters with influential figures across diverse fields. Through the lens, we gain rare insights into their lesser-known sides, and follow them as they navigate cultural clashes, personal revelations, and shifting global contexts. Each film invites you to explore contemporary issues through the lived experiences of extraordinary individuals shaped by history.

The Cold War ended, and history was declared over. For a time, this was the footnote that geopolitical theorists and historians attached to the 20th century—democracy and freedom had triumphed, and the age of strongmen had come to a close. But history had no intention of saying goodbye. In the past decade, we’ve witnessed the return of authoritarian leaders across the globe. Giloo’s latest program invites you to revisit this phenomenon through documentaries that profile political strongmen—films that explore how politics and media work hand in hand to manufacture power, and how today’s strongmen have mastered new tools and tactics to maintain their grip.
