My Own Private Green Island

Green Island's link to political prisoners remains indelible despite its modern tourism. To depict the multi-faceted appearance of the island, the film centres on 3 characters: a local islander, a former prisoner’s daughter, and an artist with depression.  

'We adopt a semi-documentary, semi-dramatic approach to showcase the culture and current status of Green Island while recreating the atmosphere of political exiles detained there in the past. By interweaving the recorded subjects in various contexts and dialogues, the film generates a sense of time and space intertwining. This blend precisely captures the enigmatic ambiance presented by present-day Green Island after the wave of tourism.' - HSU Juei-lan
