入圍紀錄短片競賽
這是我看廖克發導演的第三部片子，相較於前兩部《不即不離》和《野番茄》的沈重和傷痛，雖然這部片子依舊沈重，但至少我們看得到希望，哪怕希望渺茫的像星星。 片中老師為了讓孩子們取得公民權，決定讓他們親自去發聲，爭取應得的身分證。看到這裡我會思考，為什麼會選擇把視角放在孩子的身上？也許是他們自出生以來就生活在這裡，他們就是土生土長的馬來西亞人，然而卻沒有一張紙，能證明他們的身分。 孩子一邊唱著愛國歌曲一邊落淚真的看得很令人心酸，明明都生長在這個國家，可是卻顯得像一個局外人。也許他們比任何一個馬來西亞人都愛國，比任何一個馬來西亞人都渴望得到那份愛。 在無法改變的大環境下，孩子們過著困苦的生活，可能對他們來說，在這種環境下只要能活著或許就足夠了。視角之所以會放在孩子們身上我相信也是他們身上的那份單純、內心的那份純潔。就算苦中作樂也不能抹滅對生活的期望。 結尾的跟拍鏡頭讓我想到每次步入友族社區，看到他們望著我的眼神像望著入侵者，很難形容那種感覺，感覺像是審視、警惕、害怕。無國籍人士所衍生出的社會問題也是我們應該注意的。紀錄片比起其他的影視作品而言，他更加真實，更加直面這種感受。所以很佩服導演可以扛著攝影機走進他們的世界。 最後一幕的停格片段，彷彿像在告訴我們，他也不過是這一百萬無國籍人口之中茫茫人海的其中一份子，也許抗爭不會暫停，但他依舊會像海浪一樣，隨波逐流，隨波逐流。淹沒在這大海之中。
電影作為一種方法，可以再現歷史證據，重述集體記憶。導演廖克發在將於本屆 TIDF 進行世界首映的新作《由島至島》中，想像兒子向他提問，二戰時期台灣士兵到東南亞後回來為何對戰時所做行徑沈默不語，因而展開對過往台灣、日本、東南亞戰爭記憶的追索行動。藉由戰時士兵、軍伕、屠殺倖存者等人的家庭對話影像、遺物、紀錄文件，導演帶領觀眾重返戰跡，紀錄片《由島至島》於是成為集結不同島嶼、跨世代的眾聲回應。

This selection uses film to document the unspoken issues within Malaysia's diverse and complex culture. Through this film list, cinema presents the intricate ethnic identities, religious cultural divergences, and the challenges of coexistence on this land.
Does our nation's treatment of minority groups truly live up to the beautiful name "Formosa"? Migrant workers who perish far from home, fishermen and sex workers on the fringes of the city… they leave their homes behind to make a living, only to face discrimination, exhaustion, and even restrictive, unequal laws. On one side lies a struggling homeland, on the other, a new land that offers no refuge—where, then, do outsiders truly belong?

Since its establishment in 1962, the Golden Horse Awards have not only represented the highest honor in Chinese-language cinema but also witnessed countless filmmakers grow from their first attempts to the shaping of distinctive artistic voices. This curated selection highlights six directors nominated this year — Shen Ke-shang and Pan Ke-yin for Best New Director, as well as Lee Chun-shek, Liao Ke-fa, Chong Keat-aun, and Tsao Shih-han for Best Director — revisiting their earlier, defining works. Through this collection, we invite audiences to rediscover how these filmmakers use cinema to respond to the self, society, and their times. By tracing their creative beginnings, we also glimpse the ever-evolving vitality of Chinese-language cinema.
How can we remember the pain and resistance, helplessness and belief, hatred and love we once experienced in the dark of night? Night serves as a metaphor and a space for inheriting historical secrets. People act in secret during the night, hoping to open their minds and initiate new possibilities before dawn breaks. The 2023 Autumn Festival, themed "Nights in Memory," invites artists to collectively confront the echoes and inspirations brought by every night in memory. Memories purged, replaced, hidden, and questioned in those dark nights are re-told through the transformation of creative language, bringing to light overlooked, concealed, or ambiguous stories, igniting the fire of memory in the darkness. The National Theater & Concert Hall, in collaboration with Giloo, has curated the "2023 Autumn Festival" online film exhibition. Through the vertical in-depth exploration of theater and the horizontal extension of cinema, we will have the opportunity to transcend divisions and discern the significance of the nights we have experienced in our lives.
“If a person stays in a place long enough, part of their soul will remain there.” These words, spoken by the protagonist of my documentary, not only profoundly shaped the way I see my hometown and the places where I grew up, but also became a kind of revelation. I used to fear that these places would become unfamiliar, or even disappear entirely. Yet this sentence taught me how to look gently at disappearance and loss. The films in this program gaze upon living, breathing lives, observing how each person leaves a part of their soul in the places where they have lived, wandered, or stayed.
