蔡崇隆導演是法律系畢業，走上一條非常規法律人的道路，先從平面記者開始再轉往電視新聞媒體，後來成為紀錄片工作者。雖然不知道法學教育對導演的影響，但當年看《島國殺人紀事1》時，對於蔡導演以主觀鏡頭帶出直擊且逼人的提問，那種對正義、公平的急迫追求，讓我留下深刻的印象。
Is justice truly equal for all before the law? Like a queen’s chastity once deemed unquestionable, what happens when rigid systems confront the complexity of human nature and circumstance? Who ultimately defines fairness and justice? A wrongful conviction that dragged on for two decades, a protest movement that pitted flesh and blood against authoritarian rule, a death row inmate executed to the cheers of the public—what role did the “law” play in each of these cases? Should we rise up to question the banality of evil, or quietly submit to it? “Judiciary Class” is a name adapted from the popular Korean series Itaewon Class, drawing on the dual meaning of “classroom” and “course.” It symbolizes a shared space for audiences to learn and grow through the films and writings featured in this program—inviting thoughtful debate, diverse perspectives, and deeper exploration of legal and ethical ideas.
A boy who survived ethnic cleansing, a sled athlete pushing the limits of the body, a protester labeled a rioter, a former firefighter painting cat graffiti on the streets of Tamsui… These individuals, each carrying their own story, leave behind glimpses of life through the camera lens — and in doing so, offer living proof of their communities' existence. Follow Giloo on a journey through lives of every kind — there's always a greater story waiting to be discovered.
Being misunderstood leaves wounds in people's hearts; sometimes these misunderstandings are cleared, while other times they heal with time. But to be misunderstood by the state, to be wrongfully convicted by the judiciary, means not only losing freedom and time but also all the myriad possibilities of embarking on different life paths. Coinciding with the physical screenings of the 2nd Taiwan Innocence Film Festival "Never" in 2023 (December 7th-10th, Spot Huashan Cinema), Giloo and the Taiwan Innocence Project Association jointly present "Beyond Innocence Online Film Festival." Through eight selected films related to wrongful convictions, justice, and incarceration, we invite you to explore judicial errors and prison life you may have never imagined before.
