Giloo Staff Picks｜Once Upon a Time, There Were Stories in the Landscapes
Once upon a time, there were stories in the landscapes. A mother’s quiet anxiety stretched across the winter plains of Inner Mongolia; a boy grew up in the windswept fishing villages of Taiwan; two scruffy children plotted their passage to adulthood in a withered cornfield; an artist-filmmaker captured the homesickness of the Burmese Chinese community on Huaxin Street, New Taipei; and a goldfish fable unfolded within the narrow, suffocating streets of Hong Kong. In these films, landscapes are more than mere cinematic settings; they are rich with symbolism and reflect the inner worlds of the characters.

Encore, Before the Goodbye
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
