The Golden Horse Film Festival is Taiwan’s largest and most prestigious film event, with a long-standing history and growing international recognition. In 2020, the festival featured 176 outstanding films from over 50 countries and regions. From this rich lineup, Giloo has carefully selected 10 remarkable titles—ranging from auteur-driven feature films and issue-focused documentaries to experimental works that playfully reimagine cinema history. We invite you to revisit these standout selections and relive the highlights of the festival.
To me, both films and documentaries are gateways into the lives of others — ways to experience different realities without ever leaving home. In days when staying indoors becomes the norm, this form of vicarious satisfaction grows even stronger. Here are five films that helped me break free from the everyday: "Suzaku" captures the emotional currents of a forest-bound family with a gentle, meditative tone — a tribute to dreams that can only exist like bubbles, fleeting and beautiful. "Lack of Evidence" reconstructs the haunting testimony of a Nigerian boy who fled after his father, a shaman, tried to sacrifice him — a visceral, animated outcry against violence masked as tradition. "78/52" invites film obsessives to deconstruct one of cinema’s most iconic murder scenes, dissecting every frame of Psycho’s unforgettable moment. "Tea with the Dames" gathers four legendary British actresses for an afternoon steeped in gossip, memories, and unfiltered wit — an impromptu masterclass in presence and poise. "Green Line" presents a stark meditation on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the lens of nature — showing how, despite man-made borders and walls, landscapes continue to breathe and move freely.
Through the power of storytelling, directors shape films— and in return, those films leave indelible marks on their creative souls. Giloo invites you to step inside and outside the frame, visiting the lives of master filmmakers both behind and beyond the camera. See Hou Hsiao-hsien’s quiet charm when he sets down the director’s baton, hear David Lynch reflect on the hidden corners of his past, and witness Agnès Varda’s final farewell—infused with childlike wonder and grace. These films reveal the true faces of iconic auteurs— their artistic journeys, their obsessions, their passions, and yes, a touch of beautiful madness.
