Spotlight on
Taiwanese Cinema

聚焦台灣電影

From groundbreaking debuts to internationally lauded masterpieces, this year’s VTWFF curation invites you to journey through the rich tapestry of Taiwan’s stories, landscapes, and voices. Each film in the lineup was hand-selected to illuminate a different facet of the island’s vibrant culture—whether it’s the pulse of its bustling cities, the quiet poetry of its rural horizons, or the bold creativity of its new wave auteurs. Get ready to laugh, reflect, and be moved as we celebrate the filmmakers who are redefining what Taiwanese cinema can be.

從突破性的首次亮相到享譽國際的經典傑作,今年的 VTWFF 精心策劃,邀請您踏上一段探索台灣故事、風景與聲音的豐富旅程。片單中的每一部作品皆經過細心挑選,旨在展現島嶼文化的不同面向——無論是繁華都市的脈動、鄉間地平線的靜謐詩意,或是新銳導演大膽創新的藝術能量。準備好在歡笑、反思與感動中,與我們一同慶祝那些正在重新定義台灣電影的創作者們。

Frames of Taiwan
— Stories in Every Glance

台灣得獎短片

Taiwanese short films are a vibrant tapestry of culture, creativity, and personal expression. Rooted in the island’s rich history and diverse influences, these works reflect the voices of emerging and established artists who explore identity, heritage, and the evolving rhythms of modern life. From heartfelt narratives to bold experimentation, each film offers a window into Taiwan’s unique spirit — where tradition and innovation meet on screen.

台灣短片是文化、創意與自我表達交織而成的鮮活畫卷。源於島嶼豐富的歷史與多元影響,這些作品承載著新銳與資深藝術家的聲音,探討身份、傳承與當代生活的脈動。從細膩動人的故事到大膽前衛的實驗,每一部短片都是通往台灣獨特精神的窗口,在螢幕上交會傳統與創新。
