「剪刀找貓法」完整步驟： 1、在灶台上（或瓦斯爐）上放一碗滿滿的清水 2、將剪刀平放在碗上，並且把剪刀打開，開口朝著家門口或窗口的方向 3、設置好後，心裡默默和貓感應對話，並且叫牠的名字 3、貓咪沒回家前，碗和剪刀位置不可移動，否則前頭做的都失效，要重新來 4、貓回來後，抓住牠或放於提籃內，繞灶三圈表示感謝 （圖文版如連結）
登录 Facebook網路搜尋關鍵字「剪刀找貓」時，會找到不少提及是作家朱天心小姐分享的方式，「聽說是一種奇門遁甲之術，朱小姐設置兩次都在第二天或第三天就找到貓」，原來名作家也是資深貓奴。 多情時而感傷的動物書寫，推薦朱天心《那貓那人那城》。

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.
“Unexpected Taiwanese Cinema” takes its title from a regular column by writer Zhang Yi-xuan, published in Fa: A Journal of Film Appreciation. Issue #190 of the magazine centers on films made with archival footage, opening a conversation on archival collage cinema. A special feature titled Private Films by Women explores how the idea that “the personal is political” is practiced through documentary. In her column of the same name, Zhang Yi-xuan also reflects on the film Looking for Chiang Ching-kuo, examining its unique place in the Taiwanese cinematic landscape—how it opens up the past instead of merely returning to it, and how such an approach keeps critical thinking through images alive. Both “archives” and “documentation” point us toward the past. But unless the past is re-examined and redefined, memory cannot truly exist. This collaborative program between Fa and Giloo invites viewers to engage with Taiwanese cinema that defies expectations—films that challenge, refract, and reimagine the nation's film history through both viewing and writing. Together, we hope to uncover new cinematic possibilities waiting within Taiwan’s ever-evolving image archive.
This curated film list centers around the Time Travel Taiwan Series, featuring 13 Taiwanese documentary filmmakers who reinterpret officially archived footage through creative reimagining. By transforming historical images into new narratives, they breathe fresh life into decades past. Audiences are invited to step into a time tunnel — to explore Taiwan’s historical landscapes and witness the sparks ignited by cross-generational dialogue through these experimental visual works.
