Taiwan New Cinema – 靈山 The Mountain, 蘇弘恩 Ungen Mehan

靈山 The Mountain, 蘇弘恩 Ungen Mehan (2015). Documentary, 73 min. For hundreds of years, Taiwan has been under colonial rules. From the Dutch, the Spanish, the Japanese, to the Republic of China, each regime left their footprints on this island; only the indigenous peoples of this island experience them all. During these periods of colonization, they were given different names and their cultures have been changed. Through the life of a Truku elder, we see the history of indigenous recertification movement. Born to parents of Indigenous and Han Taiwanese backgrounds, filmmaker Ungen Mehan (SU Hung-En) grew up navigating between two identities. This experience has allowed him to see the world from different perspectives.
