In resonance with the 2024 TIDF (Taiwan International Documentary Festival) theme, Giloo has curated 10 past TIDF nominated or award-winning films. We invite you to explore an alternative reality of the world through the lenses of labor, protest, and migration.
Since the early 21st century, the Taishin Arts Award has actively engaged in dialogue with the global trend of "expanded cinema." Today, the time and form in which "cinema" occurs continues to diversify. As part of the NEXT—20th Anniversary Exhibition of the Taishin Arts Award, the “Special Effects Screening Room” explores this multiplicity through video art, multimedia performances, VR films, and even AI-generated scripts. In line with this expanded vision, we have curated a special online program in collaboration with Giloo Documentary Platform. Here, "viewing" becomes a ritual of witnessing. This extended screening includes Huang Ming-chuan’s Myth Trilogy, Tsai Ming-liang’s Stray Dogs, Hsu Che-Yu’s Manufactured Landscape and Replica, Su Yu-Hsien’s The Chairs, Yuan Goang-Ming’s 1990s Golden Harvest Award-winning About the Way Back Home, Wang Jun-Jie’s Sin City 00:00:00:00 (never officially released in cinematic format), and this year’s Taishin Grand Prize winner Lee I-Fan’s Excuse Me… How Do You Open This? Through this intimate mode of online viewing—more private than a gallery or cinema—we invite you to become a new kind of "future audience."
An elderly political prisoner battling Alzheimer’s, a ghostwriter who starts a martial arts film company after release, a teenage boy drifting between virtual networks and real life, an old woman singlehandedly raising her intellectually disabled son, a directionally challenged writer carrying 37 keys, a father whose voice is ignored both in life and death, and a banyan tree that has silently witnessed decades of neighborhood change. How do they confront the challenges and setbacks brought by society? Continuing the acclaim of the previous three editions, Giloo now presents the fourth wave of its “Taiwan Shorts Knockout” series—seven powerful short films that delve into the everyday struggles and stories unfolding in Taiwanese society.
