Entering the Frontlines of Social Issues | Documentary Selections
Through documentaries, we are able to step into issue frontlines that are often inaccessible in everyday life. Gender, LGBTQ+, labor, ethnicity, migrant workers, environmental protection… This curated list showcases a selection of documentaries that delve deeply into diverse social issues. From the dark corners of child sexual abuse to plastic recycling factories at the end of the global waste stream, these films lead viewers to confront hidden realities and listen to voices that deserve to be heard.

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.”
