    Kuo Shu-Feng 2004 Taiwan Documentary color 62min Chinese DV
    This documentary is all about nationality, race, identity, trust, culture, and media contact between Taiwan and China, and the chaotic mind-changing of the author during the shooting. The team interviewed some young people who were born in the early 80's, and conducted various questionnaires in order to find out how the new generation in Taiwan is thinking about this ambiguous political situation, and even how they think it should he solved. The most important and remaining question is about to be answered.

    Director

    Kuo Shu-Feng

    Ms. Kuo was graduated from the Section of Films, the Dept. of Broadcasting, Television and Film, Shih-Hsin University. Born in 1982, she confesses herself lack of the knowledge of political and national consciousness originally. However, after becoming a full-time assistant of the documentary "Good Bye! A Passionate Era of Taiwan" in the TIDF International Dual-Anniversary Exhibition of Documentary Film in 2002, she began to touch with people whose work are shooting the Out-of-office Movement in Taiwan from the end 1980s until 1990s. Some new thinking thus struck against Ms. Kuo's thought about nation and politics from the beginning of her childhood. After graduated from the related filmmaking dept. during her undergraduate period, the director, Ms. Kuo, started to shoot her first work in 2003. This is a documentary film on the recognition of nation－Sisyphus: Formosa.
