Why do we always feel a deep sense of resonance when reading family narratives or watching family films? What exactly have we exchanged through them? How can those trivial details expand into something universally human? And what about empathy in photography? When the lens stares directly at reality and confronts the pain of others, does it feel like part of your soul has also been taken? In staged photography, even if the photographer clearly doesn't care about souls and focuses only on the face, chest or legs, the subject and the viewer may still sense that the spirit has either been empowered or diminished. Between taking and being taken, seeing and being seen, what have we exchanged?
The “Kaohsiung Shorts” Film Program is an annual initiative that selects emerging creators through an open call, encouraging diverse themes and creative expressions in short film production. To date, the program has supported over 100 works. The eight new short films from the 2023 cycle have gone through a one-year journey from initial concept to final creation. These films explore themes ranging from familial bonds and struggles, the desires and regrets of love, the resistance and confusion of growing up, to the fading and brilliance of life. Each piece offers a distinct perspective and cinematic language, carving out a fresh new chapter in the landscape of short film artistry.
