Scars on Memory

A homosexual policeman died of cancer after finding his true love at a spa.  Another gay couple also suffered the death of one of the partners.  Scars on Memory interweaves these two gay love stories while paralleling their tragedies with mellow story telling by two older gay men, Madame Yu and Auntie Jiang.

The Spell Of Cosplay

Yue-xing and A-zha are two friends that met through Cosplay (costume-play). Cosplay is like a magical spell that gives them the ability to see through dreams. It also gives them the power to turn rocks into gold and changes their feelings towards each other. It even gives them wings that take them to the other world.

Vision of Darkness

On the surface, Vision of Darkness is about the life and work of the visually impaired. However, beneath the surface, it explores the differences and conflicts between those who can see and those who cannot see. All the adversities of existence, conflicts in living, reflections on life… would be integrated in the humor and laughter of the blind.

Rock The Boat

Every summer, Fulung Beach in northeast Taiwan attracts tens of thousands of people to rock ‘n’ roll on the beach. In the summer of 2005, three Typhoons - Hai Tang, Ma Sha and Coral - came to the beach party. Severe wind and waves swept away all the musicians who were working, playing and painting their dreams of youth. Many of them then looked down on the beach and saw a different ocean …

The Pigeon Game

In Taiwan, pigeon racing is not only a sport but a national obsession where more than 30,000 Taiwanese pigeon racers devote their lives to chasing a dream of fame and fortune. This is the story of an industry, where rags-to-riches is reality for a lucky few, and where pigeons rule the roost - but only if they win…

Nice Dream

My beloved elder sister died from cancer. The documentary is filmed in New York, the last place my sister wanted to visit before she left us. Surprisingly, the family gets comforted and seeked a peace of mind through dreams where my sister appeared.

My 747

Taiwan has the highest density of motorbikes in the world. 747 is an 8-year-old scooter. The film starts with the distinctive motorbike experience from the viewpoint of 747. Tracing a journey from 1996 to 2004, the film is a private chronicle that strikes a chord in every Taiwanese who has ever owned a motorbike.

The Magical Show

An elderly Tibetan scholar crosses the Himalayas after 21 years in Chinese prisons, radiantly hatred-free, rebuilding decimated Buddhist college with the reincarnation-cum-filmmaker of his former master, who interviews him as Buddha.

Joyful Life

Conceived as collaboration among the residents of Lo-Sheng, a filmmaker, film students and cultural workers, Joyful Life seeks to present the perspectives of the Lo-Sheng residents in the midst of their activism not be moved to the hospital. The collaborators’ mission is to metaphorically rescue Lo-Sheng from further marginalization and historical amnesia.

Half-Hatched Life

Anxiety. Confusion. Fear. The film uses the dialogues, different kinds of voices, and the concrete/abstract images, to let the audiences “feel” what the protagonist was going through after an abortion surgery.
