么壽拿人家輪椅載遺體去散步，毀全部
啊就講話沒在聽，很可愛的短片，想說獲獎影片應該還不錯，但不至於催淚～男主角金老師很常來我上班地方吃飯。。
幽默感十足，謝謝導演把死亡離別這件事描繪的自然又逗趣。
“楊貴媚與金士傑的選角實在絕妙。楊貴媚充份演繹出家庭主婦、老伴的那種又愛嫌又愛念的關懷，掛在嘴上的「啊不然現在是怎麼樣」、「我不知道啦」、「這你比較懂啦」就是一個中老年台灣家庭主婦常見語句的起手式。片中以幽默包裝了沉重的議題：作為一個家人的照護者，是需要喘息的。阿珠作為一個照顧久病先生的妻子，連去參加里民活動台南一日遊，都心有愧咎，表情與言詞之間讓人於心不忍。雖然嘴上叼念，還是利索地完成家務，而靈光乍現地將亡夫推來海邊散步，更可以看到藏藏包裹的深厚情感如何在親人去世之時緩緩開綻。忠二對童年往事的滔滔不絕也體現了特定年齡與族群的樣貌，而他與小趙之間相處、分離乃至再聚首的緣份，與《薛平貴與王寶釧》更有互文對映的意趣。” https://www.wmw.org.tw/tw/title/843
《講話沒有在聽》｜短評 一場死亡後的逝者圓滿、生者療癒，悲傷的故事在奇幻的敘事底下變得可愛，可愛得令人發笑，但笑著帶淚。在極為有限的房間場景裡切換出多種敘事角度，精彩且精緻的畫面不僅仰賴導演的調度能力，也因為有金士傑、竺定誼⋯⋯等人的劇場資深經驗，才能讓這部短片從頭到尾都讓人愛不釋手，甚至忍不住期待有天能看到作品已劇場的方式被搬演上台。 回到故事本身，最後那場河堤的戲輕巧地舖排，讓生者得以與逝者道別，想起每一場逝去的背後，最令人思念的總是日常的生活片刻，導演能在作品中與父親珍重告別，而觀眾也能一起走進銀幕裡，與心之所念的逝者道別，在電影散場以後，在回家與生者相聚。
導演的題材選擇非常出色，以往生者視角去了解一個家庭的組成與彼此的關係，這本身就是饒富趣味的，而導演又設定了老夫妻出生文化上的極端差異：一個說著外省鄉音的先生，和一個台語家庭出生的太太。看似遙遠的兩端，其實一樣走過情感壓抑的年代，一樣背負著傳統婚姻與家庭的期許，一樣是有血肉、有愛恨的人類， 於是到最後，我們會發現在不能言說的一塊，他們竟默默有著對彼此很深的理解。 這樣的一對夫婦，養成了看似平凡，其實也都有著奇形怪狀掙扎姿態的孩子們。在笑鬧喜劇的表面下，場景很少、台詞很多的形式之中，演員們竟成功用細碎的台詞與情緒轉換，在幾乎沒有功能戲的情況下，一路堆疊出令人動容的情感高點，我想，導演與演員一定是建立了深刻的，對於情感脈絡的共識吧。 另外，在家裡的戲，其中的各種走位與表現方式，十足有舞台劇的張力，這幾位演員，也都是在舞台劇界非常有經驗的演員，在選角方面是非常適切的。
36:23 林宗範的牽亡歌陣出現在電影中的時候美得驚人，家族內部與外部的紛擾在這一刻好像得到安慰。 身為台灣人應該有感，臺灣的葬禮很多時候流於形式，悲傷的情緒常常沒能被附有深度和附度的文化儀式承接，我很喜歡導演在這邊安排的牽亡歌陣，很精準的呈現原本應該撫慰生者，領路亡者的陰陽溝通作用，在文化的分析上，所有的儀式都應該有原本發揮的作用，而不是單純流於形式。 也再次慶幸，目前臺灣還有人願意傳承牽亡歌陣。
李忠二與趙伯的情誼作為全片潛藏的爆點，以「唱戲」這樣間接的方式輕巧呈現，兩人一生一死在河堤上深情對唱，每一句戲詞似乎都意有所指，成功地迴避了近年來「深櫃同志戀情」大量作為劇情反轉功能而形成的俗爛感，是非常有效的操作。最後老婆走回車上那個長長的表情，萬千情感流過卻僅有細微波紋在臉上顯現，令人動容。
故事一開始就讓觀眾掌握發生了什麼事，卻悄悄埋下另一個懸念的伏筆。腳色設定鮮明以及演員的演技精湛，以及荒謬、幽默略帶懸念的風格，劇情簡單的36分鐘的短片提供觀眾豐富的觀影感受。
The Taiwan Film Festival of Boston is dedicated to showcasing Taiwan’s diverse cultures and social landscapes through cinema while fostering meaningful exchange between Taiwanese filmmakers and North American audiences. Since 2011, the New Taipei City Documentary Film Award has supported documentary filmmaking and encouraged creators to engage with their times, capturing lived experiences and social realities through the moving image. Together, the two organizations present this virtual film festival, featuring outstanding works from past editions of the Taiwan Film Festival of Boston and the New Taipei City Documentary Film Award. By bringing Taiwanese stories of ecology, culture, identity, and coming of age beyond geographical boundaries, this collaboration invites audiences around the world to discover Taiwan through the lens of documentary filmmaking and engage in cross-cultural dialogue. Through the power of documentary cinema, the festival seeks to foster greater cross-cultural understanding, celebrate the creativity and vitality of Taiwan’s documentary tradition, and strengthen connections between New Taipei City, Taiwanese filmmakers, and international film communities. New Taipei City Documentary Award Section Title | Habitats of Life Envisioning a Sustainable Future Where People and the Environment Thrive Together From oceans and forests to where Indigenous communities and cities meet, life seeks ways to survive, grow, and belong. Where the Bees Belong, Hearing from the Dolphin, The Elimination, A Tayal, and Childhood In Between explore ecological conservation, wildlife conditions, cultural heritage, and identity, revealing complex relationships between people, nature, and society. As habitats shift and generations change, each story shows how life responds to environmental and social challenges while seeking new possibilities for coexistence. Echoing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this program invites audiences to reconsider habitat not only as a physical place, but also as an ecological, cultural, and emotional home—and to imagine a more diverse, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Founded in Sydney in 2018, the Taiwan Film Festival in Australia has since toured eight cities nationwide and stands as one of Australia's most influential festivals of Asian culture. Through a short film competition, an international co-production strand, and the cross-disciplinary "Taiwan Bookshelf" programme, the festival brings the many forms of Taiwanese cinema to Australian audiences, while continuing to open up international opportunities for Taiwan's most talented filmmakers and bring Taiwanese work to the world.

A roundup of the top 10 hits of the year—let’s relive them together!
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.
Whenever I hear someone say, “They continue to give so much for each other—after all, they’re family, and blood is thicker than water,” I can’t help but think of this: In every family, there are at least two people who share no blood relation at all. So how can a phrase like “blood is thicker than water” possibly account for all the effort, pain, and complexity woven into those relationships? This exhibition presents five short films, each exploring a different kind of relationship. Some are bound by blood, while others reveal that sometimes, water runs thicker than blood. I often think of a line from The World Between Us: "In a family, people hurt each other. But they don’t heal each other." Perhaps that’s just what it means to be human—so clumsy at love, and yet so desperate for it.
Founded in 2012, the Kaohsiung Shorts grant program aims to establish Kaohsiung as Taiwan’s hub for short film production. The initiative encourages creators to break boundaries and clichés, unleash their creativity, and express local cultural identity through film. To date, the program has supported the production of over 100 short films, making it one of the most prominent and closely followed short film initiatives in Taiwan. This selection features 20 Kaohsiung Shorts completed between 2019 and 2021, spanning narrative, animation, and experimental genres. With a wide range of themes and distinct storytelling styles, these works showcase the rich creative energy of contemporary Taiwanese short filmmaking.
I really love watching short narrative films at film festivals and graduation showcases. I take pride in being among the first to discover talented and passionate creators before they become widely known. Short films offer an incredible diversity of subjects and perspectives; while they might not always be perfectly executed, just a few captivating highlights are enough to deeply move me. When I find a short film I truly admire, I always hope it'll eventually be adapted into a feature film. And when those hopes come true, comparing the two versions is incredibly fascinating – it's like witnessing a creator's journey of growth, gains, and losses.
