44:37 2008年汶川地震最可怕的是各地的豆腐渣工程吧。 有興趣的夥伴可以去看流亡作家廖亦武紀錄的第一手訪談與故事，當時的政府蓋牌不讓學生家長了解自己的孩子是否被送醫，是否還埋在瓦礫堆之下，反而一直告訴家長孩子是安全的。 幾天之後，學校瓦礫堆卻密密麻麻生出一堆綠眼蒼蠅，所有孩子的屍體都埋在裡面，發臭了。 至今這些家長仍舊求助無門，沒有拿到應有的補償。 今年冬天黑龍江又發生豆腐渣工程坍方埋住學生的事件。 這就是一個永遠不會記取教訓，只養富了紅色權貴的政權。
人民不會忘記。 儘管極權政府試圖用各種方式清洗人們的記憶，用各種方式壓迫人們使其恐懼致使噤聲，用各種手段使其自我審查。 但這些紀錄片與書籍，以及每位港人的心理不要因恐懼而拋去信念，只要人民不要忘記，就還有機會，可以繼續守護心中的價值。
34:48 本片很有意思的是不斷做個年代的人的對照，1967對抗港英政府製作報紙的學生；1973逃離文革偷渡至港的青年；1989年學運的領袖；不同時代的大家，匯聚而成了2019年反送終運動的參與者們。 不同世代的社運學運人士一起交流，但最可怕也最折磨人心的是，當滿腔熱血付出一切並且希望世界可以變得更好時，事與願違。 於是乎，無力感與沉寂變成日常，理想者成為了逃兵--看到下一代青年，甚至有了愧疚感。
6:41 導演用被海水拍打、淹沒，仍堅持向前，象徵香港被中國政府的打壓，人民仍為著權利不斷向前、爭取
In resonance with the 2024 TIDF (Taiwan International Documentary Festival) theme, Giloo has curated 10 past TIDF nominated or award-winning films. We invite you to explore an alternative reality of the world through the lenses of labor, protest, and migration.
A mountain-village family bound by pneumoconiosis, a promise left unkept in the snowy mountains, a city whose memories are reenacted again and again — before they became films, these were stories their makers could not let go of. The Chinese Doc Forum (CCDF) has accompanied filmmakers as they carried these unfinished stories onto the pitching stage, and then back into the field to keep filming and waiting. This collection brings together completed works that were once pitched at CCDF. We invite you to sit down and walk the final stretch of the journey with these stories.
After returning home from a social movement or protest, you can watch these films together.
Giloo presents a curated selection of finalists and award-winning works from the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF), capturing the trajectories of individual lives shaped by era shifts, social structures, and cultural traditions. The narrative scope expands from the frontlines of war and resistance to everyday anxieties, the complexities of tradition, and philosophical reflections on the soul. The lens shifts from macro-level upheavals to an intimate gaze. We witness individuals seeking exits from systemic oppression, debating existence through traditional rituals, and attempting to summon lost souls through song and imagination amidst the embers of trauma. This is a profound dialogue that delves into the subtle nuances of life, inviting you to experience the true weight of memory and action.
Times don't always move forward, and the lessons of history must not be forgotten. "The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." — Milan Kundera
Along fragmented paths, we come to glimpse landscapes elsewhere. When these everyday moments brush against lived experience, we are suddenly carried back in dreams—to a past once lived in our homeland. By weaving together the experience of being away from home with what has already passed, a vision emerges that belongs to us alone, singular and unrepeatable. This film selection, jointly curated by enclave partners from different countries, reflects the concerns they observe through their own eyes. Within this rising enclave, we see, encounter, and exchange… and continue moving forward.
Try entering the keyword "intellectuals" and shift the timeline to the period after the Cultural Revolution. What kind of landscape emerges from the intricate intertwining of history and individual lives? Is it the yearning for freedom, the pursuit of art, unrestrained sexuality, or perhaps the spoken and unspoken madness and rebellion between people? The 1980s can truly be called a magnificent cultural renaissance for China.
