Xiaobai from Hong Kong went to Kaohsiung to relax, and met Xiaohei, a Japanese boy working in Taiwan. The encounter between the two was like a sudden wave, which caught people off guard. We call it love. The two decided to hide in their own "little world" and live an ideal life. However, the calm water surface was broken one day. Only then did Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai realize that maybe the big world is not as big as they thought; the small world is not as small either...

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.
