2024 Taipei Literature Festival: Literature Wildlife
7 films
In Taipei, literature is free—and always has been. Precisely because literature has no fixed answers or interpretations, its boundaries are omnipresent throughout life. What we need, perhaps, is a pair of wild eyes—to confront directly or approach obliquely the myriad forms of literature. Lo Fu pioneered a new landscape in Chinese poetry with his unique narrative style; director Chen Yu-hsun cultivated a distinctive Taiwanese romance with his focus on ordinary people and fantastical black comedies; performance art godmother Marina Abramović, fashion maverick Alexander McQueen, and acclaimed director Emir Kusturica all unleashed their thoughts from their bodies, transforming them into immortal art itself. Even a farm can become a rock base, mind-bending animated masterpieces, with minds ready to blossom. The Taipei Literature Festival presents a selection of 7 works, inviting you to freely roam and unearth the vibrant literary energy within visual storytelling.
