Last year, Andersson’s latest work A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence gained him the Golden Lion from Venice Film Festival. In order to bring the audience a full picture of Andersson’s masterpieces, we’ve also screened his other 2 films You, the Living and Songs from the Second Floor. Andersson spent a total of 14 years to complete his Living Trilogy. In his films, no matter in what time or with what methods, we can see that he seems to be baring the missions to speak up for the “ordinary people” even just through some trivial stories. A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence Songs from the Second Floor Roy Andersson Sweden, Germany, Norway, France│ 2014│DCP│Color│101 min│P│3F│Tickets for Sale Holger Andersson, Nils Westblom, Viktor Gyllenberg, Lotti Tornros ★2014 Venice Film Festival - Golden Lion Sam and Jonathan, two travelling salesmen peddling novelty items, take us on a kaleidoscopic wandering through human destinies. This film consists of everyday and out of the ordinary stories portraying our existence in its grandeur and pettiness, beauty and tragedy, exaggeration and sadness... - with a panoramic view, as if told by a bird reflecting on human condition. The film creates a tension between the banal and the essential, the comic and the tragic - to show the dialectic and dynamic nature of existence, while shaping the thought that mankind is potentially heading towards apocalypse, but also that the outcome is in our hands. 5/16 Sat. 19:00 • 5/21 Thu. 19:00 • 6/19 Fri. 14:00 • 6/21 Sun. 19:00 Roy Andersson Denmark, Norway, Sweden│2000│DCP│ Color│99 min│PG│3F│Tickets for Sale Lars Nordh, Stefan Larsson (Ⅲ), Bengt C.W. Carlsson, Torbjorn Fahlstrom, Sten Andersson ★Cannes Film Festival – Jury Prize ★Guldbagge Awards – Best Film ★Norwegian International Film Festival – Norwegian Film Critics Award A film poem inspired by the Peruvian poet César Vallejo. A story about our need for love, our confusion, greatness and smallness and, most of all, our vulnerability. It is a story with many characters, among them a father and his mistress, his youngest son and his girlfriend. It is a film about big lies, abandonment and the eternal longing for companionship and confirmation. 5/16 Sat. 14:00 • 6/10 Wed. 19:00 You, the Living Roy Andersson Sweden, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway│2007│DCP│Color│94 min│R│3F│Tickets for Sale Jessika Lundberg, Elisabeth Helander, Bjorn Englund, Leif Larsson A series of scenes that focus specially on a single idea, emotion or act us. In the absence of interfering qualities this film is able to take one factoring influence and amplify it to absurd and hilarious proportions. Each scene gives us an uninterrupted view at some of the more unglamorous characteristics that in the end determine who we are, both as individuals and as a thread in the patchwork of the collective human unconscious. 5/16 Sat. 16:30 • 6/10 Wed. 14:00 5.10-5.31 Akira Kurosawa Part Three Being a contemporary influential figure in Japanese film history, Akira Kurosawa has brought Japanese films fame internationally.

Adapting Ed McBain’s detective novel King’s Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society. 5/13 Wed. 19:00 • 5/17 Sun. 14:00 • 5/27 Wed. 19:00 • 5/31 Sun. 14:00 Akira Kurosawa Japan│1958│DCP│B&W│ 139 min│P│3F│ Tickets for Sale Toshiro Mifune, Machiko Kyo, Masayuki Mori, Takashi Shimura ★Berlin International Film Festival – Best Director ★Blue Ribbon Awards – Best Film ★Kinema Junpo Awards – Best Screenplay A medieval Japanese warlord attempts to hide his princess from the enemy after a defeat.

Regrettably, Lin passed away in 2011 and Ms. Yan Siao-liang, his wife, decided to donate a generous quantity of his works to the KMFA. Three years after Lin’s passing, the KMFA holds this exhibition, displaying mostly the works from Ms. Yan’s donations and several works borrowed from other art institutions. It is hoped that, through this exhibition, the public can appreciate again the works of an art master who has left the world and also appreciate the timeless values of art.

In addition, owing to the support from the HCS Calligraphy Foundation, the Kaohsiung Awards Competition started to offer the “HCS Special Award for Calligraphy/Seal-Engraving Works” this year. Because all past winners of the Kaohsiung Awards are now active in the field of art as emerging artists at home and even abroad, the competition is now viewed as an important touchstone and milestone of career development by many aspiring artists. With all the talented artists competing against one another for the highest honor every year, the Kaohsiung Awards Competition and its exhibition have become an exciting center of attention for many members of the art world, both domestically and internationally.

It is meaningful because it records one’s present moment's matters. It is significant because it contains an extensive series of data. The diaries that are exhibited in this exhibition are the treasures from the digital archive of the Institute of Taiwan History of Academia Sinica. A section "Kaohsiung in Diaries" was especially designed which exclusively collects diarists' writings about Kaohsiung. The Museum hopes visitors can relate to today's Kaohsiung what the diarists' impressions were of Kaohsiung. YOUTH INNOVATIVE DESIGN FESTIVAL ■Tickets:NT$99 ■Dayi Warehouse C8-6 4/25-5/20 Joint Exhibition with 10 Taiwanese Contemporary Jewelry Creators Beginning on 8/14/2014 ■Special Exhibition Room Kaohsiung Pictorial – Talking about Kaohsiung 5/24-6/21 On July 31, 2014 at 23:56 a series of petrochemical gas explosions took place in Kaohsiung's bustling city center. Kaohsiung Pictorial impels us to ponder: what Kaohsiung Pictorial had exposed were Kaohsiung City's 35 years of official historical records until the development of today's green energy, creative and cultural, tourism, and convention and exhibition industries that accommodate today’s liveable city's demands; what Kaohsiung Pictorial didn't show was the silent sadness of Kaohsiung for being a heavy industry city of Taiwan. Therefore, contemplating what we see and what we don't see in the contents of Kaohsiung Pictorial, who we are, where we were, and where we are going is the profound significance of “Kaohsiung Pictorial – Talking about Kaohsiung” which is organized by the Kaohsiung Museum of History.

Let us take a closer look at how he fulfilled his dreams.

Open the Painting Box - Fine Arts in Kaohsiung Taiwan, a beautiful island on the circum-Pacific island arc, attracted missionaries and scholars from the West hundreds of years ago, later became home to people migrating out of China after WWII, and then received people migrating from countries south of it during its economic take-off. Nowadays, more and more people in Taiwan have emigrated or are emigrating to other places on the world map amidst the trend of globalization. There is no telling now which place is the place of origin and which is a foreign place for people originally living in Taiwan and for those from other countries. Through the imagination of “traveling” and “ocean,” this exhibition creates for viewers imaginative experiences of landing onshore in the south of Taiwan after a seaborne voyage. The works in this exhibition are mostly the contemporary works collected by KMFA. In this exhibition, viewers can be temporarily released from the positions as “spectators” or “local people” and put themselves into the shoes of “foreigners”, appreciating the stories about “here” and “there”, about different people immigrating into or emigrating out of this island.

Looking back at the development of Western art, starting from Dadaism and Pop Art to the artists’ embrace of found objects and mass media, Lu predicted back in 1998 that such a transition would have a significant influence on Taiwan’s art development in the future. His prediction seemed to have served as a trailblazer, providing guidance for the mainstream trends of Taiwan’s art development in the following two or three decades. From this exhibition, comprising the four main themes of Media Expansion, Environmental Installation, Encounter with Technology, and Cultural Mimicry, viewers can see how Lu has been adhering to his core concept and continuing with his artistic creation through dialogues with, conversion, citation and/or juxtaposition of different media and materials to reveal their existing value systems. 5/1-5/31 ■Dayi Warehouse C7-6 (Ham Gallery) 2015 Wind Band Music with the Kaohsiung Municipal Yangming Junior High School 2015 Night of Concertos with the Department of Music, National Sun Yat-sen University Jhihshan Hall, Cultural Center Address: No. 43, Cisian 3rd Rd., Yancheng Dist., Kaohsiung City Tel.: 07-5313538 Opening hours: 17:00 – 01:00 (Monday to Sunday) Website: https://www.facebook.com/madkercafe Madker Music Pub was founded by two local musicians, who work with artists from the music industry who have returned home after honing their skills in the United States and/or France.

Chiu-Ter Chiu has been working with glass for over twenty years; fascinated by the unique beauty in the plasticity and crystal clear quality of glass, Chiu’s research focuses on the artistic presentation of glass as well as exploring the mysterious and beautiful charm of glass as a material. Chiu presents forms and expressions by performing high temperature experiments in which objects are continuously melted and seized, deconstructing shapes and colors, seeking out new imageries and emotions that evolve from traditional styles, using abstract art forms to express inner feelings, and contemplating new ideas. Chiu’s inspirations originate from an intuitive feel for the beauty and harmony of nature, so themes and concepts of Chiu’s works are often based on real-life experiences and emotions as he creates new artistic expressions and contexts.
