Wind, Sand and Stars
The land carries memories. From afar, I often think of Hong Kong’s sea and Taiwan’s mountains. The days of my childhood—doing nothing, daydreaming in the warm summer breeze—remain vividly etched in my mind. Only after growing up, only after feeling lost, did I come to realize that beneath the soil lie many complex and thought-provoking stories: stories of colonialism and postcolonialism; stories of escape and homesickness. Through stories that flow between sea and sea, mountain and mountain, we hope to invite everyone, in the new year, to reflect across nations on the meaning of land and identity.

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.
