New Taiwan History
To feel indifferent to history is to feel indifferent to Taiwan. The year 2014 was a time of great upheaval in Taiwan—a year of radical change and explosive thought. For many, it was a moment to reexamine their relationship with this land and to delve deeper into the essence of what Taiwan truly is. It was also the year that Taiwan Bar and The Story were born. The right to speak for ourselves is something generations of Taiwanese people have long pursued. We hope to leave behind a work that is open to everyone—not just something for this generation, but a legacy passed from us to the next, and then on to many generations to come. Support the “New Taiwan History Movement” and help bear witness to Taiwan’s history!

Kinda Loser-ish, But Kinda Nice
“Lu-se” (魯蛇, Taiwanese internet slang borrowed from the English word “loser”) seems to have become a dead word. You rarely hear anyone say it anymore, and I’m not sure why. I don’t think the term can be understood simply as the English “loser.” In the way it’s used in Taiwan, it seems to carry a touch of self-deprecating humor, and that’s a quality I really love. The films above are the ones that, to me, have that feeling.
