沒想到會真的為一顆氣球難過。最喜歡它在窗外等男孩的畫面，孤單的飄在那裡，但讓人覺得有個朋友一直陪著他，男孩替它遮雨、帶著它到處跑，也讓我想到小時候，總會把某樣東西看得很重要，或許因為成熟的早，接觸到的人總是覺得我太鑽牛角尖，後來那群孩子把氣球弄破，看到有點生氣，他們好像只圖好玩，根本不在乎男孩會多難過，結尾一大群氣球帶著他飛上天空，畫面很漂亮，我也替他高興。只是想到原本那顆紅氣球已經不在了，還是覺得可惜，沒辦法把它當成完全快樂的結局，侯一定要這樣？哈哈哈

On August 28, 1982, Time Story premiered, marking the beginning of the Taiwan New Cinema Movement. In the summer of 2022, HIDE & SEEK AUDIOVISUAL ART released The Time Ahead: A Memo to 40 Years of Taiwan New Cinema, revisiting this pivotal era through 20 key concepts. In the fall, the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute will present a special retrospective titled When New Cinema Begins Again: 40 Years of Taiwan New Cinema, uncovering many long-overlooked gems hidden in the corners of film history. Between summer and fall, TFAI and HIDE & SEEK AUDIOVISUAL ART join forces to present 16 titles—films both representative of Taiwan New Cinema and those reflecting on the movement itself—inviting audiences to engage with its legacy and imagine the decades of cinema still to come.
Looking back on 2021—a year shaped by a disrupted daily rhythm, rising geopolitical tensions, and unforgettable moments on the Olympic stage—Giloo presents nine of the year’s most popular films. We hope each one leaves a lasting impression on your heart.
Hou Hsiao-hsien, the visionary director who brought Taiwan New Cinema to the global stage, is known for his contemplative long takes and a visual language uniquely his own. “Darkness,” he once said, “comes from reality and absurdity.” Rejecting artifice, Hou captures the everyday with piercing honesty, rendering moments we all can relate to—whether it’s childhood sweethearts struggling in the city, disillusioned gangsters drifting through life, or a lone assassin bound by fate. Join Giloo in refocusing on the present, and see the island through Hou Hsiao-hsien’s lens: a poetic realism shaped by his profound love for this land.
Worth a second watch
"I love you, yet hate you!" Your countenance, your gestures, your radiance—like lightning and flint sparks—are a red balloon that drifts farther the more it is called, a mottled soul writhing in electric illusion, a silhouette branded into white snow, an evil flower blooming from rotting flesh, beautiful as a painted landscape. I have decided to pursue you through light and shadow, to discover what made you make that decision.
