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.
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.
The family is the most common and smallest unit of coexistence in modern society. Families across different eras and spaces each face their unique blend of joys and sorrows. When encountering difficulties, it's natural to feel that one's own problem is the hardest to solve, but it's also important to realize that no one's is easy. From the following selection of films, find resonance in the others' family stories, and see the unique essence of home.
Japan—a land of paradox and fascination—has long captivated travelers from afar. With deep-rooted traditions that have withstood over 150 years of rapid Westernization, Japan continues to preserve a unique national identity and way of life, while also giving rise to a distinct and globally influential pop culture. This month, Giloo Documentaries presents a curated selection of films that explore the many faces of Japan. Journey with us across mountains and oceans, through surface and depth—encountering the worlds of fashion, Takarazuka theater, love hotels, fine cuisine, robotics, and contemporary art. Modern Japan is vibrant, eclectic, and often wildly unexpected—and these films capture its raw, untamed spirit.
I think I’m falling more and more in love with documentaries. Choosing two films about Takuma Nakahira might feel a bit indulgent—but I can’t help it. On one hand, I genuinely love his work; on the other, these two films approach the same subject in completely different ways, and watching both reveals a richer, more layered experience. Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer and Greenaway Alphabet are not just fascinating because of the artists themselves. The former, directed by Tarkovsky’s son, feels like a poetic homage; the latter, a playful and profound conversation between Peter Greenaway and his daughter, offers a very different kind of parent-child dialogue. Both are worth savoring. And as for Suzaku… do I even need to say anything? Just—breathtaking.
