Online talk event
Sharing Air, Living Time
Online talk event. Oct. 11th (Mon) 11:00-12:30
With the Collaboration of: Ministry of Culture, Republic of China (Taiwan); Taiwan Culture Center, Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan; Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute (TFAI)
A joint-project with Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute (TFAI) which kicks off during YIDFF 2021 (Oct. 2021) and closes with the filmmaker residency program Yamagata Documentary Dojo 4 (Feb. 2022). It will feature monthly sessions of documentaries and discussions online. Together with programming partners from Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF), the project will investigate the meaning of mobility and sharing space in society, as these strange times push us to socially distance and isolate from each other.
Two Taiwanese films in New Asian Currents have chosen very different film styles to depict the plight of Vietnamese migrant workers made invisible in Taiwan society and how voices are raised. From the Perspectives Japan program, Transform! is about a wheelchair user (the director) who discovers self-expression and a new form of communication through his body in the course of filmmaking. An online discussion with the filmmakers through interpreters will explore how important it is to be allowed to feel present as a participant of wider society and how simple recognition can be denied.
