Taiwanese Short Films
There is nothing new under the sun—but what about after the sun goes down? In the night, a boy uncovers a shocking secret. Urban souls wander in sleepless disquiet. A woman “goes to sea,” while a man dives into dark waters to catch baby eels. Some secretly protect humankind, some hope to change the world before dawn. Violence hides in the shadows, while others unite to speak out for those who’ve lost their voice. Following the success of our first installment, Giloo proudly presents the second wave of Taiwan Shorts Showdown—six gripping short films that reveal what stirs in the dark. Be warned: even in the night, the gods are watching.
Good Times, Bad Times, Lazy Times
In an age of endless watching, how do we deal with distraction overload? Too exhausted after work? These films are short enough not to test your patience. Some are early works by acclaimed directors; all are sharp, rich, and full of surprises. Fine, I admit it—I also put them here simply because I love them. They’ll leave you wanting to hit replay. You may need to be jolted by them one more time before you’re ready to move on.
The Isolated Island Connecting Reality and Virtuality
Contemporary humans coexist with technology, increasingly relying on digital platforms to forge relationships, yet feeling an ever-growing sense of distant connection. From seeking solace in dating apps to performing identities on social media, we seem to be drifting in virtual worlds. This curated selection of five works explores intimate relationships in the digital age, gazing at the ways connections have been rewritten by technology, or perhaps the genuine desires left adrift in the virtual seams. In this generation of accelerated connections, everyone is like an island floating in the digital ocean, awaiting a real touch.

Even amidst displacement, struggle, suffering, longing, and poverty, the ability to feel the freedom of will and spirit is what makes us human, and subsequently, a Taiwanese person standing tall on this cherished island.
