5.16-6.21 Roy Andersson : The Living Trilogy
The Kaohsiung Film Archive would like to present you the newly award winning Swedish director Roy Andersson and his Living
Trilogy. Last year, Andersson’s latest work A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence gained him the Golden Lion from Venice
Film Festival. In order to bring the audience a full picture of Andersson’s masterpieces, we’ve also screened his other 2 films You, the
Living and Songs from the Second Floor.
Andersson spent a total of 14 years to complete his Living Trilogy. In his films, no matter in what time or with what methods, we can see
that he seems to be baring the missions to speak up for the “ordinary people” even just through some trivial stories.

★2014 Venice Film Festival - Golden Lion
Sam and Jonathan, two travelling salesmen peddling novelty items, take us
on a kaleidoscopic wandering through human destinies. This film consists
of everyday and out of the ordinary stories portraying our existence in its
grandeur and pettiness, beauty and tragedy, exaggeration and sadness... - with
a panoramic view, as if told by a bird reflecting on human condition. The film
creates a tension between the banal and the essential, the comic and the tragic
- to show the dialectic and dynamic nature of existence, while shaping the
thought that mankind is potentially heading towards apocalypse, but also that
the outcome is in our hands.

A film poem inspired by the Peruvian poet César Vallejo. A story
about our need for love, our confusion, greatness and smallness
and, most of all, our vulnerability. It is a story with many
characters, among them a father and his mistress, his youngest
son and his girlfriend. It is a film about big lies, abandonment
and the eternal longing for companionship and confirmation.

A series of scenes that focus specially on a single idea, emotion or act us. In the absence of interfering qualities this
film is able to take one factoring influence and amplify it to absurd and hilarious proportions. Each scene gives us an uninterrupted view at some of the
more unglamorous characteristics that in the end determine who we are, both as individuals and as a thread in the patchwork of the collective human
unconscious.

5.10-5.31 Akira Kurosawa Part Three
Being a contemporary influential figure in Japanese film history, Akira Kurosawa has brought Japanese films fame internationally.
Since March, the Kaohsiung Film Archive has organized Kurosawa retrospectives on Wednesdays at 7PM and Sundays 2PM to
show some Kurosawa classics to the film lovers. In May, KFA selects the main inspiration for Star Wars IV The Hidden Fortress and
Kurosawa’s humanitarian masterpiece High and Low. Join us for a full pleasure of watching the HD restored versions of these movies.

★Mainichi Film Concours – Best Film
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist
whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High
and Low (Tengoku to jigoku), the highly influential domestic drama and
police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain’s
detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from
compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary,
creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society.

Set in 1992, during the growing conflict between Georgia and Abkhazian
separatists in the wake of the Soviet Union's dissolution, this compassionate
tale focuses on two Estonian immigrant farmers who decide to remain in
Georgia long enough to harvest their tangerine crop. When the war comes to
their doorsteps, Ivo takes in two wounded soldiers from opposite sides. The
fighters vow to kill each other when they recover, but their extended period
of recovery has a humanizing effect that might transcend ethnic divides.
Set against a beautiful landscape defiled by war, this poetic film makes an
eloquent statement for peace.

In 2010, the KMFA held the One Is Everything: 50 Years of Works by Richard Lin exhibition, giving local
viewers a comprehensive introduction to Richard Lin, a master of modernism who was born in Taiwan,
moved abroad, and engaged actively in artistic creation across different fields of both Eastern and
Western art. Regrettably, Lin passed away in 2011 and Ms. Yan Siao-liang, his wife, decided to donate
a generous quantity of his works to the KMFA. Three years after Lin’s passing, the KMFA holds this
exhibition, displaying mostly the works from Ms. Yan’s donations and several works borrowed from
other art institutions. It is hoped that, through this exhibition, the public can appreciate again the works
of an art master who has left the world and also appreciate the timeless values of art.

Kaohsiung Awards 2015
The 2015 Kaohsiung Awards Competition received works submitted by approximately 600 artists around Taiwan. After
careful selection and discussion among the judges, a total of five Kaohsiung Awards winners, eight Excellent Work Awards
winners, and three Observer Awards winners were decided along with the other works selected for the Kaohsiung Awards
Exhibition this year. In addition, owing to the support from the HCS Calligraphy
Foundation, the Kaohsiung Awards Competition started to offer the “HCS Special
Award for Calligraphy/Seal-Engraving Works” this year. Because all past winners of
the Kaohsiung Awards are now active in the field of art as emerging artists at home
and even abroad, the competition is now viewed as an important touchstone and
milestone of career development by many aspiring artists. With all the talented artists
competing against one another for the highest honor every year, the Kaohsiung
Awards Competition and its exhibition have become an exciting center of attention for
many members of the art world, both domestically and internationally.

The egg is a symbol of life, a seed of life, or a carrier of life. It is also a carrier of immense imagination. To celebrate its 10th
anniversary, the Children’s Museum of the Arts holds this exhibition, Birth Day: Breaking Out of the Egg,
to not only glorify the meanings and values of life but also inspire children to have different imaginations
and interpretations of the egg through the works created by the participating artists. It is hoped that
through this exhibition, children can learn how to discover extraordinary things from the ordinary in daily
life through imagination and association, as well as know how to better express their own feelings and
thoughts, and explore different possibilities through their sensory experiences and learning.

chance to "greet the bodhisattva and take a saunter around Neimen."

Life Diaries – Kaohsiung in Diaries
5/15-5/24
A diary is a daily record, an intimacy of personal memory. It is meaningful because it records one’s
present moment's matters. It is significant because it contains an extensive series of data. The
diaries that are exhibited in this exhibition are the treasures from the digital archive of the Institute of
Taiwan History of Academia Sinica. A section "Kaohsiung in Diaries" was especially designed which
exclusively collects diarists' writings about Kaohsiung. The Museum hopes visitors can relate to
today's Kaohsiung what the diarists' impressions were of Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung Pictorial – Talking about Kaohsiung
5/24-6/21
On July 31, 2014 at 23:56 a series of petrochemical gas explosions took place in Kaohsiung's bustling city center. Kaohsiung
Pictorial impels us to ponder: what Kaohsiung Pictorial had exposed were Kaohsiung City's 35 years of official historical
records until the development of today's green energy, creative and cultural, tourism, and convention and exhibition
industries that accommodate today’s liveable city's demands; what Kaohsiung Pictorial didn't show was the silent sadness
of Kaohsiung for being a heavy industry city of Taiwan. Therefore, contemplating what we see and what we don't see in
the contents of Kaohsiung Pictorial, who we are, where we were, and where we are going is the profound significance of
“Kaohsiung Pictorial – Talking about Kaohsiung” which is organized by the Kaohsiung Museum of History.

Adapted by Peter Brook from the novel of the same name by
South African writer Can Themba, The Suit depicts adultery
and revenge between a young black couple, their tortures to
one another and struggles against the backdrop of apartheid.
The seemingly simplistic story line, entertaining dialogues,
mellow music and minimalist stage setting, are only to set
off the suffocating ending by contrast.

Chang Wei-Shian, a practitioner of anarchism born and raised
during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan, is one of the
contributors to the birth of theatrical drama in Taiwan. He
used “new drama” as the way to realize social movements; to
achieve such a goal, he first learned theatrical dramas in Japan
and later returned to Taiwan to teach, perform, and direct
them. Let us take a closer look at how he fulfilled his dreams.

The relationship between “people and their land” serves as the theme of Liu Su-Shin’s solo exhibition.
The exhibition employs no fixed materials or styles but rather illustrates people’s love and concerns
for their land through an artistic display of the environment. The artistic creations serve as a means to
record the lives of the people living on these lands, capturing the local customs and touching stories.

(comprising Wang Hsi-Jong, Zhang Hong-Yan, and Yang Jing) will
work with the Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra for the first time and
perform a number of contemporary music, showing the unique
sounds of pipa (low and deep as well as crisp and bright) and the
reason why it is considered the king of plucked string instruments.
Open the Painting Box - Fine Arts in Kaohsiung
Taiwan, a beautiful island on the circum-Pacific island arc, attracted missionaries and scholars from
the West hundreds of years ago, later became home to people migrating out of China after WWII, and
then received people migrating from countries south of it during its economic take-off. Nowadays,
more and more people in Taiwan have emigrated or are emigrating to other places on the world map
amidst the trend of globalization. There is no telling now which place is the place of origin and which
is a foreign place for people originally living in Taiwan and for those from other countries. Through the
imagination of “traveling” and “ocean,” this exhibition creates for viewers imaginative experiences of
landing onshore in the south of Taiwan after a seaborne voyage. The works in this exhibition are mostly
the contemporary works collected by KMFA. In this exhibition, viewers can be temporarily released
from the positions as “spectators” or “local people” and put themselves into the shoes of “foreigners”,
appreciating the stories about “here” and “there”, about different people immigrating into or emigrating
out of this island.

A Voyage to South–
Contemporary Images from the Museum Collection
Lu stresses that, in this era of information media, the force of media is something that cannot be ignored. Looking back at
the development of Western art, starting from Dadaism and Pop Art to the artists’ embrace of found objects and mass media,
Lu predicted back in 1998 that such a transition would have a significant influence on Taiwan’s art development in the future.
His prediction seemed to have served as a trailblazer, providing guidance for the
mainstream trends of Taiwan’s art development in the following two or three decades.
From this exhibition, comprising the four main themes of Media Expansion,
Environmental Installation, Encounter with Technology, and Cultural Mimicry,
viewers can see how Lu has been adhering to his core concept and continuing with
his artistic creation through dialogues with, conversion, citation and/or juxtaposition of
different media and materials to reveal their existing value systems.

It was Taiwan back in the 80s when waves of liberalism pushed for democracy. The list of interviewees alone should
quicken a cinephile's pulse: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Olivier Assayas, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Jia
Zhang-Ke, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wang Bing, Tsai Ming-Liang and Hou Hsiao-Hsien. With festival directors, film critics and historians (e.g., Tony Rayns, JeanMichel Frodon, Pierre Rissient, Tadao Sato) and other artists (e.g., Ai Weiwei), as well as clips from many important films by Hou and other Taiwanese
directors, it is a compelling chronicle of one of the most important developments in Asian (and world) cinema.

Chiu-Ter Chiu has been working with glass for over twenty years; fascinated by the unique beauty in
the plasticity and crystal clear quality of glass, Chiu’s research focuses on the artistic presentation of
glass as well as exploring the mysterious and beautiful charm of glass as a material. Chiu presents
forms and expressions by performing high temperature experiments in which objects are continuously
melted and seized, deconstructing shapes and colors, seeking out new imageries and emotions that
evolve from traditional styles, using abstract art forms to express inner feelings, and contemplating
new ideas. Chiu’s inspirations originate from an intuitive feel for the beauty and harmony of nature,
so themes and concepts of Chiu’s works are often based on real-life experiences and emotions as he
creates new artistic expressions and contexts.

Having made her name in New York’s avant-garde art scene since the late 1950s, Kusama Yayoi (Japanese, 1929- ) has worked in a
wide variety of styles and media, including surrealism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, pop art, performance art, etc., and still
continues to dazzle the world with her iconic polka dots. She has held many large retrospective and touring exhibitions at major
modern art museums in Europe and America in recent years, receiving a highly favorable response, and has collaborated with
Louis Vuitton, launching a Kusama fashion trend. This Asian touring exhibition
got underway in 2013; after touring to Daegu, Shanghai, and Seoul, it will
come to Taiwan in 2015 and first be held at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine
Arts. The exhibition showcases Kusama’s most recent works while presenting
the rich creative context and unique features of her art from the past six
decades. Containing close to 120 artworks: paintings, sculptures, installations,
and video works, this Kusama solo exhibition will be unprecedented in Taiwan.

Vincenzo Amato,
Giovanna Mezzogiorno
It all started with the first wine sip Giovanni Cuttin had in his life. A
Marzemino, a wine mentioned by Lorenzo da Ponte in his libretto for
Mozart's Don Giovanni. Since then, the shy clerk has become the bank
director, a lady-killer and the most revered wine expert in Italy. But soon he
will be charged for his wife's murder. Being grilled by Inspector Sanfelice,
Giovanni reflects on the last 3 years of his life, dominated by an only mad
passion: wine. Gradually the investigation becomes more and more caught
between the boundaries of reality and its dreamlike counterpart. What if
Giovanni, like Faust, met a diabolic force that made his life very special,
only to settle the score later?
