Film is an art form; it is also a medium reflecting our culture and social impulse. The world of film and the one in which we live often serve as two realities on two sides of a mirror, reflecting, implying, signifying, and corresponding with one another. In this course we look closely at several Taiwanese films over the past two decades, and through them we intend to understand what prominent phenomena and changes have been taking place in Taiwan’s social culture. Some of the films speak to the current socio-political conditions on this island; some reflect an emerging cultural trend; some indicate social problems; yet some propose alternative approaches to history. In any case, those films present themselves as various attempts to make conversations with the world that we call Taiwan and live in. This course is expected to help us understand and reflect on Taiwanese social culture by not just watching but also “reading” Taiwanese films.Film is an art form; it is all a medium reflecting our culture and social impulse.
