A Prayer
Directed by 洪德高 Te-Gao Hong
A bankrupt ex-convict, desperate to prove his worth, throws himself into relentless training, boxing day and night. Yet one by one, the people who care about him drift away. After leaving the youth shelter, a filmmaker lost in Christian faith picks up his camera to document a friend who has turned to Satanism. Their shared longing for redemption takes them on a tangled journey that tests their friendship and beliefs, ultimately leading them down entirely different paths.
In August 2022, Giloo pioneered the "Giloo Fest 2023," launching an innovative experiment combining crowdfunding with short film proposals. The event attracted 343 Chinese-language short film project entries from around the globe, with 20 teams ultimately advancing to the finals. Thanks to the encouragement and support of numerous participants, we are thrilled to announce the grand premiere of the first wave of results this April! These nominated works cover a wide range of subjects, deeply reflecting issues of concern in the contemporary Chinese-speaking world. Come quickly and see the brilliant works from these teams!
