繼《活在三里塚》（2014），代島治彥導演再接再厲，將採訪對象對準當年成田機場抗爭運動的多位身份或路線不同的運動領袖，製作了《三里塚：伊卡洛斯的殞落》（The Fall of Icarus: Narita Stories, 2017）。三里塚是日本左⋯⋯
「紹興社區」位於台北市中正區，佔地約1.4公頃，街廓緊鄰中正紀念堂。不用說，這裡地價很貴。社區居民所使用的土地，僅佔五分之一左右，其他主要是七棟台大所經管的日式房舍，曾經用作台大教師宿舍用，但因為缺乏維⋯⋯
Giloo presents a curated selection of finalists and award-winning works from the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF), capturing the trajectories of individual lives shaped by era shifts, social structures, and cultural traditions. The narrative scope expands from the frontlines of war and resistance to everyday anxieties, the complexities of tradition, and philosophical reflections on the soul. The lens shifts from macro-level upheavals to an intimate gaze. We witness individuals seeking exits from systemic oppression, debating existence through traditional rituals, and attempting to summon lost souls through song and imagination amidst the embers of trauma. This is a profound dialogue that delves into the subtle nuances of life, inviting you to experience the true weight of memory and action.

Along fragmented paths, we come to glimpse landscapes elsewhere. When these everyday moments brush against lived experience, we are suddenly carried back in dreams—to a past once lived in our homeland. By weaving together the experience of being away from home with what has already passed, a vision emerges that belongs to us alone, singular and unrepeatable. This film selection, jointly curated by enclave partners from different countries, reflects the concerns they observe through their own eyes. Within this rising enclave, we see, encounter, and exchange… and continue moving forward.
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.
