《你找什麼？》的周東彥令我聯想起《慾望城市》中的女主角凱莉。凱莉撰寫性愛專欄衝撞傳統藩籬。不過精神部分她卻顯得保守（或者該用質樸來形容），她相信「愛」，一生都在尋愛；同樣地，周東彥透過劇場符碼講述出同志文化的肉慾縱情、訪談剪輯談論出性愛的舉足輕重。可是，他的自身反問「你找什麼？」恰如凱莉尋「愛」，前衛中包覆單純。這份「愛」不是那種天經地義的明確目標，而是不確定性的未來憧憬、一種大於「愛」的多樣化愛情。直至電影落幕，周東彥沒有說出答案。觀眾卻深陷胡同中，在銀幕前與導演對話，成為了尋「愛」者的一環。 電影接近尾聲，有一幕對話令我無法忘懷。周東彥向前男友提問「兩個男人之間的愛是什麼？」對方一時不知如何回應，只能斷斷續續地回道：「你不能問我這個問題。……我要怎麼回答？……我不知道。」曾經攜手經歷愛情的伴侶說自己不懂愛，當下我認為這句對白是殘酷的。沒想到周東彥說：「這一個很重要的問題。他的『不知道』很重要。有的時候我們只是以為知道而已。不論是通俗或楊德昌的情與愛。其實《青梅竹馬》中侯孝賢就是一個『不知道』，我們大家都不知道，蔡琴也不知道。『不知道』很重要。如果你感到殘忍，那也很好，它更要放進來。但是第一，我沒有覺得他殘忍。第二，我覺得『不知道』與突然回答不出來很重要。我訪問一大堆人都很有答案嘛。如果有一個人是沒有答案，而且是跟我曾經在一起滿久的人。那很美呀！」 我聽來殘酷的愛語，對於周東彥卻是美麗的戀人絮語。這點出「愛」的異質感知，不同心境不同體悟。 正因如此，愛情沒有標準答案。世人渴望愛情，許多人將未來的幸福憧憬濃縮於「愛」，深信擁「愛」後現狀的悲戚、寂寞與不滿終將迎刃而解。同志亦如凡人，期盼美滿安頓結局，以致於茫茫人海之中尋覓「愛」，問著：「你找什麼？」。
導演周東彥，擅長在作品中融入劇場的元素，真實的日子在鏡頭交錯展演，2021年以VR作品《霧中》入選第七十八屆威尼斯影展，此片《你找什麼？》入選2018年第五屆台灣國際酷兒影展，透過揭露自我和訪問他人，形塑這個世代男同志愛戀價值觀的風貌。 同時也清晰描繪男同志在交友軟體上的掙扎，以為人的距離能夠因為科技發展而靠近，沒想到人心的孤寂似乎變得更加強烈。 也點出異性戀體制，是如何深刻地影響男同志文化；探討愛慾的形式、氣質的限制以及感官的極限，彷彿人永遠無法填補心靈的缺口。
37:49 青虫，主唱 吉尼 看到這段有點想哭，覺得導演周東彥好勇敢，要拍這樣的一個題材，選擇在鏡頭前揭露自己，這是多麽困難的事。
22:01 青虫，主唱 吉尼 心有戚戚焉。在渴望關係建立的路上，嘗試在裝扮改變、嘗試讓外貌迎合多數價值觀的同時，卻覺得自己悖離原本的樣子。如果這時候有其他人因為你的改變來接近你的話，會懷疑這個人喜歡的、所看到的並不是真的自己。
17:02 青虫，主唱 吉尼 Edward Hopper，我猜周東彥放的應該是這張畫吧（？）
15:30 青虫，主唱 吉尼 我覺得Danny在這段訪談中，好誠實。他說他跟Michael交往後並不是立刻就把app刪掉，而是過一段時間之後，他發現自己沒有要找什麼了，想要專注在一對一關係上，於是就把app刪了。
12:31 青虫，主唱 吉尼 立刻按暫停去估狗福岡美食，豬大腸鍋上面還有韭菜，很像我家鄉嘉義在吃的粿仔湯
3:43 青虫，主唱 吉尼 紀大偉對於同志交友軟體的形容詞好有趣好有畫面，「我就把自己晾在那邊，像晾衣服一樣，然後看看風會怎麼吹，看看麻雀會不會在上面大小便，或者是說會不會被吹跑，都沒關係，這是一個挑戰自己和挑戰別人的地方。」
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!
The theme of this program is hookup films — stories of young men and women in the city, some by chance, others by design. Each work carries a strong sense of space: homes, subways, laundromats, saunas — online and offline, full of contemporary texture. Sex is the desire to live; when facing death, I feel small, and each night becomes a luxury. At some point, I stopped saying “forever” and began saying “the rest of my life,” though what remains may be only tonight. In one scene, he asks, “Why do you make films?” She answers, “Because I like it.” Because I like it — that’s how simple the reason is for this generation.
What joys, struggles, dreams, and doubts shape the everyday lives of queer individuals? As they strive toward self-realization, what vibrant colors do they bring to the world? To celebrate the spirit of Pride, Giloo presents a curated selection of films and documentaries centered on LGBTQIAPK experiences. While you take to the streets for the Pride Parade, we also invite you to step into the love, lives, and stories of queer communities—on screen.
This year’s Queer Film Festival poses a timely question to society: Boundless, limitless, borderless—can gender, and the existence or absence of it, become a plural possibility? Under the theme of “Endless Love” and “Infinite Love,” the festival explores diverse expressions of love and sexuality through cinema. Whether grounded in reality or born in the virtual, gender will be redefined and renegotiated. Through the performance and context of gender, the body becomes a vessel of both flesh and spirit. Humanity expresses its desires, orientations, and identities—blending, shifting, and converging into the infinite (∞): the limitless, the boundless, the ever-expanding potential of plurality. These shifting terrains of the body, desire, gender, and the fluid interplay of yin and yang give rise to a multitude of gendered possibilities. In this reimagined world, love, sexuality, and human connection are no longer subjects of discrimination, distortion, or stigma. Instead, we envision a new and beautiful future of infinite love—one that celebrates what it means to be fully, freely human.
A lifelong companion—or a declared enemy? Love is the most difficult relationship, yet it yields the sweetest fruit. In the face of love, do you reveal your truest self—or something more false? What do you choose to share with your lover? Are you walking hand in hand toward paradise—or toward the beginning of sorrow?
The pursuit of love is a fundamental human capacity. Turning life's disasters into something beautiful—that is the superpower born from the journey of love. In the suffocatingly homophobic atmosphere of the 1950s, The Price of Salt author Patricia Highsmith wrote the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, opening a window of hope and happiness for the LGBT community. She once said, “I have made up my mind to turn every disaster in my life into something beautiful.” The documentary Loving Highsmith opens in theaters on August 25. Inspired by her iconic words, MYSU Media has curated a diverse gender-themed film selection that invites audiences to engage with related stories. Through each journey in search of love, we resonate with the universal longing for beauty, connection, and the freedom to breathe.
I gave you my youth in exchange for the fresh hope of a new year— Whether it belongs to the past, or to the future still unknown, there are things the wind has left behind: no trace on the surface, yet etched deep within. If we call that youth, it feels just right. To run, to cry out—for the sake of youth. To leave something behind through music and film, to take something in return. And in the process, to become—without regret—someone better.
