Love can bind—but it can also unravel. When blood becomes the beginning of tragedy, home turns into an inescapable prison. In collaboration with the National Theater & Concert Hall, Giloo Documentaries presents the 2022 TIFA Film Series. At its center: a decades-old murder born out of love, a secret buried by three generations for over half a century… What should a family be? What does a “home” really mean? Alongside this series, the NTCH presents special screenings of Amsterdam’s Internationaal Theater’s House of Ibsen and After the Rehearsal / Persona—two powerful theatrical works that explore love, memory, and the haunting weight of family legacy. Come experience these epic family sagas, and witness the many faces of love.
A sharp, compact poem often speaks louder than a lengthy speech! Giloo presents a curated collection of small but powerful documentaries—short films that, within a limited runtime, deliver layered, resonant stories. Experience the elegance of cinematic brevity, and see how precision in visual storytelling can leave a lasting impression.
Have you ever had this experience—when you stare at something for too long, it turns into something else? Wait—before you pull back in a hurry, trying to “reset” your perspective, ask yourself: is that really such a bad thing? These five uncanny short films try to reinstall your eyes, leading you to gaze again at renminbi, snails, robots, dreams, and strangers. Look long enough, and maybe you’ll realize: it’s not them that are changing.
