Screening |\u00a0The Return of Gods and Ancestors: Paiwan Five Year Ceremony<\/em>\u00a0(HU Tai-Li, 1985) | 35 mins<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Return of Gods and Ancestors<\/em>\u00a0is the first locally made ethnographic film in Taiwan. The film, captured with a hand-cranked Bell & Howell 16 mm camera, documents the \u00a0magnificent five-year ceremony of the Paiwan tribe.<\/p>\n

During the festival, the Paiwan people expect to receive blessings of the gods and ancestors by piercing rattan balls with extended bamboo poles; however, they also try to prevent any harm caused by evil spirits.<\/p>\n

The Paiwan five year ceremony is not only the reunion of the dead and the living, but a meeting of the old and the new.<\/p>\n

Filmmaker | Dr. HU Tai-Li (1950-2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Hu Tai Li\u2019s films should be mandatory viewing for anyone in Taiwan studies. Future generations of filmmakers in Taiwan will owe a great debt to her.\u201d
\n\u2014 Marc L. Moskowitz, American Anthropologist, 2008<\/p>\n

HU Tai-Li \u00a0pioneered documentary ethnography in Taiwan. She was a research fellow at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica in Taiwan; a professor at National Tsing Hua University, and the president of Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival. After graduating from the History Department of the National Taiwan University, she entered the City University of New York, and obtained her Ph.D. degree in anthropology.<\/p>\n

Since 1984, she had directed and produced seven ethnographic films,\u00a0The Return of Gods and Ancestors<\/em>;\u00a0Songs of Pasta\u2019ay<\/em>;\u00a0Voices of Orchid Island<\/em>;\u00a0Passing Through My Mother-in-law\u2019s Village<\/em>;\u00a0Sounds of Love and Sorrow<\/em>;\u00a0Stone Dream<\/em>; and\u00a0Returning Souls<\/em>, and published six books.<\/p>\n

Her films won the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival\u2019s \u201cThe Best Documentary Film Award\u201d, Chicago International Film Festival\u2019s \u201cSilver Plaque Award,\u201d Houston International Film Festival\u2019s \u201cGold Special Jury Award,\u201d and Taiwan International Documentary Festival Jury\u2019s Special Mention Award. Her film,\u00a0Passing Through My Mother-in-law\u2019s Village<\/em>, is the first documentary film screened at commercial theaters in Taiwan with great success.<\/p>\n

Lecture | Professor Scott Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott Simon (University of Ottawa), is a socio-anthropologist trained in both disciplines (anthropology and sociology). Co-holder of the Chair of Taiwan Studies at the University of Ottawa, he has lived in Taiwan for ten years and returns annually for field research. His research interests include Indigenous rights, development, the contribution of Taiwan to the Indo-Pacific, Taiwan\u2019s international status, and Canada-Taiwan relations. He has written four books and numerous articles about Taiwan. He does policy-oriented research as member of the Centre for International Policy Studies and the Human Rights Research and Education Centre at the University of Ottawa, and as Senior Fellow at Ottawa\u2019s Macdonald-Laurier Institute.<\/p>\n

Based on two decades of ethnographic field research, Professor Simon’s monograph,\u00a0Truly Human: Indigeneity and Indigenous Resurgence on Formosa<\/em>\u00a0(forthcoming in May 2023), portrays the Sediq and Truku Indigenous peoples\u2019 lifeworlds, teachings, political struggles for recognition, and relations with non-human animals. Taking seriously their ontological claims that Gaya offers moral guidance to all humans,\u00a0Truly Human<\/em>\u00a0reflects on what this particular form of Indigenous resurgence reveals about human rights, sovereignty, and the good of all kind.<\/p>\n
