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.

TIDF Selections

Giloo presents a curated selection of finalists and award-winning works from the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF), capturing the trajectories of individual lives shaped by era shifts, social structures, and cultural traditions. The narrative scope expands from the frontlines of war and resistance to everyday anxieties, the complexities of tradition, and philosophical reflections on the soul. The lens shifts from macro-level upheavals to an intimate gaze. We witness individuals seeking exits from systemic oppression, debating existence through traditional rituals, and attempting to summon lost souls through song and imagination amidst the embers of trauma. This is a profound dialogue that delves into the subtle nuances of life, inviting you to experience the true weight of memory and action.
