Those mists and clouds have never dispersed
Even though Taiwan has embarked on the path of democratization, the shadows left behind by the authoritarian era have yet to fully fade. Giloo curates a selection of films that focus on the 228 Incident and the White Terror—some directly interviewing victims of the authoritarian period, others reconstructing a silenced era through powerful imagery. Only by confronting this history can we continue moving forward in the faint yet enduring light of democracy.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
