Hsu Hui-ju

As a Taiwanese documentary filmmaker, Hsu Hui-ju delves into the intricate relationships among women, family, and grief in her films. Through auto-documentary and self-reflexive approaches, her works ruminate on existential issues and the meaning of life, navigating quietly between the real and the imagined to reveal the absurdity of human existence. Beneath the cool, subdued tone of her films lies a subtle warmth that reflects the profound depth of humanity.

Her works have been selected and awarded at major international film festivals, including the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival, Visions du Réel, Sheffield DocFest, and the Golden Horse Awards.
