Poetries from the Bookstores: Somewhere I Belong

Poetries from the Bookstores: Somewhere I Belong (2025)

書店裡的影像詩：停駐與穿越

Each bookstore forms its own poetic landscape: gentle hands restoring old books, a bookstore owner guiding customers on herbal hikes, an eco-activist protecting mountains through reading, and a woman from a fishing community preserving local memories. Director Hou Chi-jan captures these intimate narratives through lyrical imagery, portraying 15 independent Taiwanese bookstores and preserving fading stories and quiet cultural resilience.
