No matter where you are, not just in Taiwan, international movie fans can easily watch too! The first wave of films from emerging creators are now live in our international section. Featuring top selections from prestigious film festivals like Golden Horse Awards and Golden Harvest Awards, as well as many highly anticipated emerging works for you to explore anytime, anywhere!
Founded in 2012, the Kaohsiung Shorts grant program aims to establish Kaohsiung as Taiwan’s creative hub for short filmmaking. The initiative encourages creators to break boundaries and clichés, embrace bold storytelling, and highlight local culture through cinematic expression. To date, over 100 short films have been supported through this program, making it one of the most influential and closely watched short film initiatives in Taiwan. This selection features 12 Kaohsiung Shorts completed between 2017 and 2018, encompassing both narrative and experimental works. With diverse themes and unique cinematic languages, these films reflect the vibrant creative energy of Taiwan’s short film landscape in recent years.
This film selection brings together the interests of our band members, approaching the creators' thoughts from various angles—from ghosts, magic, and realism, to independent music and food culture—also reflecting our mutual inspiration.
