On Christmas Eve in Tokyo, can three homeless people help an abandoned baby find its way home? In a desolate and mysterious world, where will a girl guarding an egg and a boy searching for the “dream of a bird” ultimately go? Against the backdrop of contemporary Tokyo, how do humanity and monstrosity coexist in a city steeped in sin? Giloo brings together works by Japanese animation masters Mamoru Oshii, Satoshi Kon, Masaaki Yuasa, and Yoshiaki Kawajiri, inviting you into the worlds they have created, suspended between reality and illusion.

In celebration of Pride Month, Giloo will present a series of queer films this June. This year, our theme is “(Un)happy Pride Month.” It reflects the idea that “pride” was never achieved overnight, but carved out through generations of resistance—by those who came before us, who endured repression and pain, and left behind traces of struggle in the darkness with their bodies, blood, and tears. And “queer,” as an identity that refuses to be defined by traditional labels, has never had just one form. Queer people can be joyful, but also angry, confused, and sorrowful; they can be brave, but also vulnerable.

Spectral Flames: Hidden Gems Waiting for an Encounter | Online Curation by Film Critic Mr. GeckoBiHu

壁虎先生

In every era, certain films persist as hidden gems, burning quietly their spectral flames in corners where nobody notices. Spectral, for having been buried by the arbitrary nature of its era, or from years of forgottenness in obscurity; Spectral, also for the fact that they give form to an internal, invisible burning within, weeping aloud in a deafening silence. With this programme, I hope to orchestrate encounters between these films and audiences who might not have realized their need for them. They do not yet know that they yearn for those spectral flames to flare up within their screen, to sting and scorch their yearning heart.
