看《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》需時時提防，畫面嚇人（小四兒和小明都把槍對著鏡頭），聲音也嚇人（你時不聽到，砰的一聲），電影狠在，楊德昌提供太多可以殺，必須殺，能夠殺的原因。小四夜歸時看到雜貨店胖叔又喝醉了顛顛倒倒甚至碎嘴他幾句，便從後繞近並悄悄拿起了磚頭。別笑柯南有鼻屎般的殺機便引發汪洋般的殺人案，小四兒是連在路邊都能狠下心腸的，這個時代的台北太擁擠了，所有人都應該死，雜貨店老闆也不能放過。但為什麼最後死的必須是小明？
Compared to his contemporaries, Edward Yang was more evidently influenced by European auteurs. His films are often set in contemporary Taipei, characterized by sharp, articulate dialogue and scenarios that reflect a distinctly urban sensibility and a strong sense of modernist aesthetics.
On August 28, 1982, Time Story premiered, marking the beginning of the Taiwan New Cinema Movement. In the summer of 2022, HIDE & SEEK AUDIOVISUAL ART released The Time Ahead: A Memo to 40 Years of Taiwan New Cinema, revisiting this pivotal era through 20 key concepts. In the fall, the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute will present a special retrospective titled When New Cinema Begins Again: 40 Years of Taiwan New Cinema, uncovering many long-overlooked gems hidden in the corners of film history. Between summer and fall, TFAI and HIDE & SEEK AUDIOVISUAL ART join forces to present 16 titles—films both representative of Taiwan New Cinema and those reflecting on the movement itself—inviting audiences to engage with its legacy and imagine the decades of cinema still to come.
As time passes, generations of military dependents’ village residents have gradually moved away from the homes they once knew. Yet even after leaving, many have found personal ways to preserve and document the memories of the juàncūn—Taiwan’s unique military dependents’ villages. Among these methods, filmmaking stands out as a powerful act of memory—freezing time, bringing vanished buildings, objects, and moments vividly back to life. This year’s Taipei Military Dependents’ Village Cultural Festival: Online Film Showcase invites you to travel through time via the small screen, exploring the evolving faces and unseen stories of the juàncūn through film and documentary.
Period of Martial Law began in 1949 and lingered in Taiwan for nearly 40 years. While maintaining the overall situation, legal, political, and military forces have also left indelible scars in society. Martial law was lifted in 1987, but the scars will not recover automatically. We should always look back and remember how those painful memories led us to freedom. Taking this as a theme, we selected four Taiwanese films to describe the suffering and impact of Martial Law. Also, the classic Blind Chance by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski was chosen to present how human beings are at a loss for fate under the cross-national totalitarian rule.

In pursuit of happiness, we sometimes end up unhappy. Youth is always dazzling—and cruel. Family ties are always volatile—and tender. Yet it’s often only in the aftermath of youth that we begin to understand: happiness cannot be frozen in time. This sticky, sun-drenched summer, Giloo presents 11 masterworks on family and fleeting joy—beginning with Shunji Iwai’s All About Lily Chou-Chou and closing with Edward Yang’s Yi Yi. From Ang Lee’s Father Knows Best trilogy to Tsai Ming-liang’s Water Trilogy, with appearances by Hou Hsiao-hsien and Hirokazu Kore-eda along the way, each film explores the paradox of happiness, or perhaps the quiet truth that happiness—like memory—can never be held still.
Loneliness and restlessness, the beauty and cruelty of love, the confusion and longing around gender—so much of adolescence grows in secret, tucked away in quiet corners of school life. But when secrets come to light, does that mark the end of youth? And is growing up inevitably a slow unraveling of the self? Giloo presents five poignant coming-of-age films that capture the ache and wonder of adolescence: Edward Yang’s A Brighter Summer Day, Yee Chih-yen’s Blue Gate Crossing, Chen Cheng-Tao’s Eternal Summer, and two Japanese classics by Shunji Iwai—All About Lily Chou-Chou and Hana and Alice. Step into these cinematic portraits of youth, and relive the beautiful, painful process of becoming.
