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.
