These countries, those things.
Film is one of the fastest ways to get to know a country. In just an hour or so, a movie can take you through its streets, speak its language, and tell its stories from the inside out. Don’t worry—we’re not here to dive into complex geopolitical debates. In this film program, you’ll meet a wild rock band raising chaos in North Korea, a group of Danish men who really love to drink, and witness the everyday madness of the Russian “warrior people” through dashcam footage. These films don’t aim to explain entire nations. Instead, they focus on the little things—the strange, funny, messy bits of daily life. And isn’t it exactly these small moments that, together, make up the kaleidoscope of a country?

The Art of Lesbian Visibility
Taiwan has long since become the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, and LGBTQ+ lives seem to be increasingly woven into everyday life. Yet, when we turn our gaze to Asia’s mainstream media and cinema, where are the stories of lesbian women? The love left unspoken, the relationships that defy definition, and the intimacies that blur the line between friendship and romance—are they still hidden beyond the frame? And when lesbian women do appear on screen, how often are their stories truly told from their own perspectives? This time, through a collection of films, we summon those who have always been there, yet have rarely been seen. “I summon you by this name. Reveal yourself.”
