What joys, struggles, dreams, and doubts shape the everyday lives of queer individuals? As they strive toward self-realization, what vibrant colors do they bring to the world? To celebrate the spirit of Pride, Giloo presents a curated selection of films and documentaries centered on LGBTQIAPK experiences. While you take to the streets for the Pride Parade, we also invite you to step into the love, lives, and stories of queer communities—on screen.
The pursuit of love is a fundamental human capacity. Turning life's disasters into something beautiful—that is the superpower born from the journey of love. In the suffocatingly homophobic atmosphere of the 1950s, The Price of Salt author Patricia Highsmith wrote the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, opening a window of hope and happiness for the LGBT community. She once said, “I have made up my mind to turn every disaster in my life into something beautiful.” The documentary Loving Highsmith opens in theaters on August 25. Inspired by her iconic words, MYSU Media has curated a diverse gender-themed film selection that invites audiences to engage with related stories. Through each journey in search of love, we resonate with the universal longing for beauty, connection, and the freedom to breathe.
I gave you my youth in exchange for the fresh hope of a new year— Whether it belongs to the past, or to the future still unknown, there are things the wind has left behind: no trace on the surface, yet etched deep within. If we call that youth, it feels just right. To run, to cry out—for the sake of youth. To leave something behind through music and film, to take something in return. And in the process, to become—without regret—someone better.
All-consuming love is enviable—but it comes at a steep price. After the thrill of romance comes the testing: jealousy, heartbreak, loss...How can fragile hearts possibly endure? Through a lover’s gaze, let us relive a once-in-a-lifetime love. Through cinema, let us feel the weight of eyelids swollen from tears, the mess of snot and saliva across a face contorted with grief, the unbearable ache of a heart being torn apart. Ah—blame it all on love!
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.
