The World Begins in the Cracks | International Animation

When the familiar surface of reality begins to crack, another set of rules governing time, space, and life quietly comes into motion. Through lines, textures, and sound, animation creates universes that have never existed, allowing unfamiliar creatures and strange landscapes to emerge from the imagination. As we pass through these cracks, we encounter not only other worlds, but also another side of reality yet to be discovered.

Memory Refuses Silence | Selected Moving Images of Taiwan’s History

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?

Island New Wave|A Selection of Emerging Taiwanese Animation

Across hand-drawn animation, stop motion, and digital imagery, Taiwan’s emerging animation directors give new form to bodies, memories, and everyday life.

Ways Women Survive, Ways They Exist 

張吾青

For women, to live as full human beings in this world has never been easy. In these stories, women are placed within multiple roles: daughters-in-law, mothers, job seekers, and migrant brides within transnational contexts. Between bodily experience, childbirth, and the question of staying or leaving, they struggle between trauma recovery and life choices, while also being seen and expected within structures of power. They are expected to embody contradictory ideals: to be both desirable bodies and symbols of purity; to conform to norms while pursuing ideals. Within structures shaped by violence, sexual harassment, and entrenched misogyny, they continue to resist within bodies that are constantly constrained, seeking possibilities of freedom and rebirth. Their lives unfold like flowers in bloom. The Blood of a Hen and The River of White Porcelain may respond, through image, to the complexity of these predicaments, and open up alternative ways of seeing and understanding women’s experiences.

Between Lines and Silence

巫香瑾 (Hsiang Chin Moe)

Each of us follows a line of our own—a trace of time, slowly shaped by the moments that make up a life. As that line stretches forward and meets another, crossing and intertwining, a story quietly begins. Some move swiftly, some slowly; some linger in the stillness of everyday life, while others find themselves caught in another's path. These dialogue-free animated shorts use minimalist lines and color to capture the subtle movements of life. When words fall silent, lines begin to speak. May these brief moments invite you to pause, step into these stories, and perhaps discover where your own line meets another.

Pacing Back and Forth at the Real Scene

陳梓桓

Sometimes, you’re drawn back to the scene by an unseen force—treading carefully, almost fearfully. The crime scenes where bloodstains have long been washed away, the streets where fervent slogans have faded, and the lives forever frozen in a single moment of history—all compel creators to pick up the pen, to lift the camera, and to tell their stories in countless ways. Rooted in reality, the act of creation becomes a delicate balance. Is it a faithful record, an excavation of truth? A transformation of reality? Or a search for meaning in the present? Imagination may run wild, but what is the thread that keeps pulling him back—again and again—to the real?
