Love can bind—but it can also unravel. When blood becomes the beginning of tragedy, home turns into an inescapable prison. In collaboration with the National Theater & Concert Hall, Giloo Documentaries presents the 2022 TIFA Film Series. At its center: a decades-old murder born out of love, a secret buried by three generations for over half a century… What should a family be? What does a “home” really mean? Alongside this series, the NTCH presents special screenings of Amsterdam’s Internationaal Theater’s House of Ibsen and After the Rehearsal / Persona—two powerful theatrical works that explore love, memory, and the haunting weight of family legacy. Come experience these epic family sagas, and witness the many faces of love.
In the name of God, what insane acts are humans capable of? A village sacrificing infants, a messiah imprisoning children with drugs, a desperate mother eating lotus flowers raw... Faith can inspire the noblest virtues, yet can also corrupt humanity into its deepest evils. Once the boundary of lost reason is crossed, do believers need a deity, or do they need the self that loves it?
Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler once said: “Lucky are those who heal their whole lives with childhood; the unlucky spend a lifetime healing from it.” Family isn’t always a source of happiness. For some, the deepest wounds were left at the very beginning of life—long before they had the words to name them. Giloo presents a selection of 8 films on childhood trauma, dedicated to those who may not have received the love they deserved. May these stories accompany you as you face the past, and gently begin the journey toward healing.
【 CCC Comic Channel × Giloo Documentary “Frames of Autumn: A New Sensory Stroll through Manga” Series 】 Under incomprehensible threats and pressures, some people try to explain the situation, or even solutions. Once a hypothesis for how to cope is grasped, it seems one can ensure their own safety. However, things often happen without reason. Unlike conspiracies or rumors, facts usually lack logical cause and effect, and there's no formula that applies to everyone, everywhere, every time. But as long as we don't overthink or chew on it, we can pretend things won't happen to us. I've selected four films that depict the chaos in everyday life. Wishing you a pleasant viewing experience. 📖 "We Need to Talk About Kevin" pays homage to the short comic "Children Committing Mass Suicide": https://www.creative-comic.tw/zh/book/379/content
Family isn’t always unconditional love. Sometimes, it’s the very beginning of a lifelong entanglement—or even hatred. A cult leader yearning for motherhood. A New York boy locked away by a controlling father. A mother who never grew up, and a child abandoned by the world... There’s no fixed definition of an “ideal family,” but broken families come in countless forms. Giloo presents 5 films about fractured households—and asks: If there’s a monster in your home that you can’t escape, can you still call it a safe haven?
