Founded in 1998 and incorporated under the TFAI since 2013, the Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF) has evolved into a global documentary film hub over two decades. TIDF's curatorial core, "Re-encounter Reality," underscores its commitment to freedom, creativity, and interdisciplinary exploration. It attracts submissions from filmmakers worldwide and nurtures a community of documentary cinephiles and filmmakers in Taiwan.

This program, a collaboration between TIDF and TFAI's Department of Program, carefully curates six distinguished films from past editions, along with a selection of acclaimed Taiwanese experimental shorts. Audiences will have the opportunity to experience these cinematic gems on the screen this May, enjoying a retrospective glimpse into TIDF's rich history and contemporary relevance.
