The Revolution Continues

 

The 29^th Women Make Waves International Film Festival, Taiwan – NYCU Tour

 

 

The Women Make Waves International Film Festival, Taiwan was established in 1993 by feminist scholars, moving image researchers, and filmmakers, and is Taiwan’s largest and most significant film festival to promote film, moving image and gender politics awareness. This year’s Women Make Waves NYCU Tour is entitled “The Revolution Continues” to draw attention to the constant urgency and struggle in the battles for basic recognition and rights which so many must fight for, particularly indigenous groups and gender non-conforming individuals. These battles have long, living histories which continue up to the present day. Films have been selected from some of the main festival’s categories of “Master in Focus: Alanis Obomsawin,” “SH(O)UT UP,” “Queerious Mirror,” and “Taiwan Competition,” to host eight screenings across the Kuang-Fu and Liou-Jia campuses. Themes running through this year’s tour include histories of minority protest, reformation of traditional cultural customs, indigenous culture and history, childhood and youth experience, and the generation of histories of arts practices and technology. Integrated with courses offered by various faculty, this year’s tour aims to give expression to the richness and multiplicity of gender/sexuality studies and social movements through the intersectional lenses of moving image, feminism, gender/sexuality research, and indigenous and ethnicity studies.
