Since its founding 29 years ago, it has been dedicated not only to promoting women's work in cinema but also to introducing Taiwanese audiences to films rich in gender discourse and humanistic vision. Giloo presents a curated selection of award-winning and officially selected films from the festival — both fiction and documentary — inviting you to revisit and celebrate these powerful works.
Oh, the allure of looking back and reminiscing for better days gone by… Nostalgia develops in us sentimental creatures for a multitude of reasons, be it dissatisfaction of the present, an impending doom for the future, or the painful realisation of past mistakes. The most poignant form of nostalgia materialises when the present has passed the point of no return. Force majeure and the ones that got away. Films on the list captured distinct era in the personal or societal past, that shine light on our inescapable present, for better or worse. Might we become better beings when we come out from the other side. “If we should weep when clowns put on their show, If we should stumble when musicians play, Time will say nothing but I told you so.” If I Could Tell You - W.H. Auden
Other than observation from the center, the South Taiwan Film Festival serves as reflections on social stereotypes, the perspectives of locality; of course, there are over two decades of expectation of avant-garde spirit. By a serious of recommendations of South-Award and panorama programs, along with Giloo, we feast you with the most vivid spirit of the South.
When the slogans fall silent and the crowds disperse, the events do not truly end. They remain in gravestones, letters, streets, and bodies, finding their voices again through the gaze of each new generation. Rather than closing the book on the past, these moving images ask: How do we remember those who were forced into oblivion? And in this unfinished present, how might we continue to imagine the possibility of living together?
Those stifled thoughts, arts, and cultures once withered in the corners without a sound, only to sprout again after the darkness. Under a government warped out of shape, people find themselves enclosed in layers of fear. So is it cogito, ergo sum—I think, therefore I am—or is it only when I speak that I truly exist?
