We travelled to Tainan to meet up with a group of our friends. They decided to turn a 80 yrs old Neng Sheng Xing Factory (能盛興工廠) into a commune. However, someone among the group was missing- a young man called 陳炯霖 Ken Chen who was a former environmental activist passed away before the factory started. Who is Ken? We’ve never met, but his name was always around, as if he were one of them. Later on, we found a diary of Ken. It’s a journey from him walking by feet across Taiwan, which shaped everything he believed in and influenced these friends from the factory. In order to know more of him, we took the camera, following his path to meet Ken’s friends across the island and even further to Japan, where everything began… It’s the film about the people we met on the road, the conversation we had, the moments we shared, stories we heard and questions we raised to ourselves. Who are we? Where are we coming from? How do we live? We see everything through Ken’s eyes as if he were with us. We become him and he has become an island. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1524912317571-OQUH7L1V0N8MASQO6010/Screen+Shot+2018-04-28+at+12.43.12+PM.png Moving https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1669002844652-55ISOTW8NO4M6K0LS1ZF/Promote+Image_07.jpg Moving - 時間肖像 「時間肖像」是一個結合肖像影像和口述歷史，發展中的影像計畫，從移民的角度觀看，於1949 年（民國38年）的歷史洪流來到台灣的外省人以及他們的後代，他們的時代記憶以及在時間與現實侵蝕中喪失的故事。從個體時代記憶、移民的不同世代之間，透過影像為這群人存在留下紀錄。 此影片為田調訪問階段，選取八位受訪者生命故事剪輯而成。 女媧映像有限公司 Nuwa film Prod. 製片：劉家欣 導演：馬君馳 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523719372471-VNPYTFB77ZLRT3FBDV5P/Screen+Shot+2018-04-14+at+5.21.44+PM+1.png Moving Fan Fan 凡凡 30 mins, Short film, Written/ Directed by Chia Hsin Liu Fan Fan, a young anthropology student, takes on work in a local gentlemen's club, but a suave client leads her into an interzone which blurs the lines between business and pleasure. 2017 Dortmund Cologne International Women's Film Festival 2018 Locarno Film Academy Screening 2016 Women Make Waves Film Festival Taiwan – BEST FILM 2015 Berlin Interfilm Festival- Formosa Audience Award 2015 Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival-International Competition 2015 CinemAsia Film festival (Amsterdam) 2015 Brussels Film Festival 2015 Montreal World Film Festival 2016 Golden Harvest Film Festival, Urban Nomad Film Festival 2016 ARTE TV https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1698996394352-F7N4G8AALYPHZORSJ332/fan+fan+%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8Apdf.jpg Moving https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1757310894665-QUKI59HQI3GG17JO7WXC/image-asset.png Moving - Howling - 'Litmus' (Official Video) Taken from the album 'Sacred Ground', out now on Monkeytown Records x Counter Records: https://howling.lnk.to/sacredgroundYo Presented by Nuwa Film Production Video from short film “LITTLE PLACE” Written and Directed by Chia Hsin Liu Cinematographer: Ai Chung, Chia Hsin Liu, Yung-Chih Hsu Editor: Yung-Chih Hsu Cast: Hsin-Yen Wei/ Ching-Fang Hsu/ Yiin-Shang Liu/ Sean Gaffney/ Olivier Marceny/ Pin-Zhen Chen/ Yuan Xu/ Helen Wang Follow Howling -Spotify: https://found.ee/howling-sp From director While looking for the ending theme song for my short film ‘Little Place’, I came across this song- Litmus, which was like the calling out of nowhere. It brings a sense of warmth and healing to the story which fits the emotions of the female protagonist, melting away the dreams of her home, her life and herself. Thank you so much for the kind support, patience and encouragement from HOWLING and the whole team members. You allow me to create the journey along with this particular beautiful music at this particular time in 2022. Background story of ‘little place’ Raised in Taipei by refugees from the Mainland, it has become the city in a state of psycho-physical exodus, with a population torn between those evacuating either eastward to China or west to the United States. Most of the younger generation doesn't bother to look back to their history, but move forward. A city that has lost its orientation has set this woman adrift into a confusing and subdued liminal reverie, where everything she once called 'home' fades into little more than an indefinitely suspended state of animation, where she passively observes two selves playing out their own stories: one living, and one dying. As the stories progress, she becomes more confused about which part of her is the dying, and which is the surviving. Her quest to reconcile herself and find her way out seems inextricably tied to the fate of the entire city. 當我為了短片"小地方"尋找片尾曲，聽到Howling-Litmus這首歌，有種溫柔和療癒的力量，在高處看著生活在都市的人們，女人在現實與記憶中尋找和這個地方的連結。這首歌連結孤獨與渴望，將影片帶到另一個視角。 感謝遠在柏林 Howling 團隊邀請MV 計畫，音樂人 RY X and Frank Wiedemann, 經紀人Felix Bierling 搞定複雜的合約和不同區域窗口，給予時間和鼓勵。 為了不透劇情，感謝有著高度實驗精神的剪接湧智，和我重新打散結構和調性，拍攝新的畫面，呈現不同於短片的樣貌，更接近原本想像中城市的日與夜。 感謝所有參與短片‘小地方’ 的工作團隊、演員和朋友，經歷了兩年從短片和MV，看到影片和自己的改變，在2022年這個時間點有著特別意義。 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1631106954030-K59L05JRR3VSB16XTKB0/image-asset.jpeg Moving - 《月亮女孩》公視人生劇展 月亮女孩 Moon Girl ( TV film, 84 min, 2020) 小希對自己的身體似乎沒有連結，朋友Ash和靖常帶她探索感知。她總是順著感覺走，直到有一天她發現自己懷孕了... 她開始做了奇怪的夢，在夢中去了一些地方，那裏有山有洞穴有橋，在半夢半醒之間，試圖想理解那未知的地方和自己的關係。 生命的緣起和墜落，猶如她筆下畫出的一座島嶼，蜿蜒且神秘，如月球的另一面，好像到達過。 Xiao Xi, a young college student from Taipei, inspired by her female friends explores the world through sensual body experiences. Landscapes unfold as integral parts of her own, leading towards an unconscious universe, which she enters without knowing where to go. Like sleepwalkers, they drift upon the moon reaching for the stars. Eventuality her explorations end in unwanted pregnancies, showing her the limits of being a young woman, ending her dreams in challenging relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1757311534347-JW8LV8Y2OXTWM4JZVYZK/image-asset.jpeg Moving - 小地方Little Place 小地方 Little Place (short film, 27min, 2022) 遊走在異國文化間工作的曉君，意外地看到某個昏倒的女人，平日習以為常生活中的裂縫，像泡沫般逐漸浮出。 遇到的人和事不停地提醒著她，自己是誰？家在哪？ The little place is Hsiao-Chun’s home and country. As many young Taiwanese, she is torn apart between leaving or staying this place. Expecting a baby, her chances of finding a career abroad are fading, though her connections to the little place are changing like the bustling city that surrounds her. https://www.chiahsinliu.com/still daily 0.75 2020-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523697367334-NL7CETVCACS5NV2N7245/F1060015.JPG Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523706580120-PRHH1X32XZ24VESYZBAU/IMG_0417.JPG Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523694313509-Z2RN1UJWYBDBJSAKM7HM/BW+photo+on+uluru.png Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523705982861-BZJYATM2U15CUO8GMWC5/on+black+cat.jpg Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523705540920-7LGXDXG2EOVG76Y7MUJ6/A-dance+22.png Still Ash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523697079163-P763VDRY7ENTEVX8RY1O/F1040015.JPG Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1537267721855-5660XQEAEPCWRI64F6AA/35628358_10156256161435874_8759793105378476032_n.jpg Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1537267719568-WZCEOCHOM4CMIICDXKZ4/BH6A1401.JPG Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1523696862832-ABKOAJ7R7D0TIMXRDELL/F1020015.JPG Still https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1525522740348-NWR1J3Z34EJAW3PKR3TJ/%E8%9E%A2%E5%B9%95%E5%BF%AB%E7%85%A7+2017-10-14+%E4%B8%8B%E5%8D%887.38.23.png Still https://www.chiahsinliu.com/about daily 0.75 2024-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7aa12db7411c5892dffbcb/1517987295818-H35EAYTPZQ2169X7GQ1M/BH6A3772+Bb.jpg About
