We Grew Up in Illusions | Animation for Adults
Who says animation is only for kids? As we fall out of childhood and into adulthood, reality and imagination start weaving the world we live in—blurring, tangling, never quite clear. From the identity struggles of Hong Kong’s queer community, to the quiet battles of the working class, to the existential weight carried by city dwellers—these complex, three-dimensional selves are often flattened into frames we can’t say aloud or capture on film. And beyond each frame lies reality, projecting itself back at us—whispering softly, shouting underneath.

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.”
