《榆樹與海鷗》（Olmo and Seagull）並不只是表面上身為劇場演員的女主角，因懷孕而被迫停演所經歷的一連串心理歷程，而是相反地藉由這種「不得不停下來」的緊急狀態，使得我們得以藉此體認到事件降臨時所伴隨的暴⋯⋯
A lifelong companion—or a declared enemy? Love is the most difficult relationship, yet it yields the sweetest fruit. In the face of love, do you reveal your truest self—or something more false? What do you choose to share with your lover? Are you walking hand in hand toward paradise—or toward the beginning of sorrow?
Finding Stillness in Uncertain Times: 10 Curated Films from Our Resident Artists During the pandemic, we’ve found more quiet moments to truly appreciate the beauty of everyday life. Resident artists from the National Theater & Concert Hall have each handpicked a film that resonates deeply with them—inviting you to slow down and reflect during this period of working from home. ▍Huang Yu-Ching: “With limited movement, we are asked to listen more closely to the inner voice of our bodies. Want to watch two snails slowly form a connection? There’s no better time for something this soothing.” ▍Wang Chao-Chien: “The pandemic has made us all more aware of distance—the distance of time, the distance between becoming and performing a role, and the strange moments that define legendary bands. These films help us sit with those feelings and reflect.” ▍Chien Chieh: “They are storytellers, writers, dancers, filmmakers. Documentaries capture an era or linger on a single figure, guiding us closer to ourselves.”
Female power is finally on the rise! Nearly half of the world’s population is female, yet the attention and resources women receive remain disproportionately low. What are women thinking? Are they truly happy living in today’s society? Do they have access to the resources they need to fulfill their potential? Are women born gentle and obedient—or are they shaped that way? What does it take for a woman to become a woman? What kind of “femininity” has been predefined by families and social norms? These documentary films explore the many facets of womanhood—the struggles, the expectations, and the remarkable stories of women who defy conventions and fight to become their truest selves. Is female empowerment truly here? We’ve come a long way, but there’s still much more to do.
