自從 2012 年「滇緬游擊隊三部曲」第一部《邊城啟示錄》問世以來，在得知導演李立劭是土生土長的台灣囝仔之後，所有人都不免要問這兩個問題：第一，你為什麼要跋山涉水花這麼大力氣這麼長時間拍這題目？第二，這部⋯⋯
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.
No matter where you are, not just in Taiwan, international movie fans can easily watch too! The first wave of films from emerging creators are now live in our international section. Featuring top selections from prestigious film festivals like Golden Horse Awards and Golden Harvest Awards, as well as many highly anticipated emerging works for you to explore anytime, anywhere!
This year, Giloo teams up with TIDF to curate a special selection of past TIDF nominees and award-winning films. While you're enjoying the festival in person, don’t forget to sneak in a little break and relive (or... redeem?) some of the unforgettable works from previous editions—now available online.
Southeast Asia is rich in culture, rooted in the mainland’s embrace along the Indochinese Peninsula. Emerging from the shadows of colonial rule, many of its nations have blossomed—independent, yet bearing the deep scars of history. Amid the lingering wounds of empire and the continued suppression of free expression, creators transform discontent into poetic language—subtle yet sharp—delivering reality through the lens of documentary. Why not join us on this elusive journey—to experience the magic realism of Southeast Asia, where beauty and resistance intertwine?
What is Taiwan? What does Taiwan have? Our imagination of Taiwan’s future depends on how we choose to read Taiwan. The Taiwanese documentaries selected by Giloo aim to offer a multifaceted and in-depth perspective—allowing us to empathize with the struggles and efforts of the Taiwanese people, uncover the richness of this land, confront its challenges, and analyze the issues that shape life on this island.
