Finding Home at Tides End

About This Movie

Finding Home at Tides End captures the essence of a people navigating the clash between tradition and modernity. It’s slow-paced but deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the profound connections the Amis have with their lost coastal homes and the adaptations they've made in the city. The documentary weaves rich imagery of their cultural practices and struggles, set against the backdrop of Taipei’s urban sprawl. There's something haunting about the way they reminisce about the ocean, which serves as both a literal and metaphorical anchor. The performances, while not scripted, feel raw and genuine, shedding light on their collective identity. The atmosphere is infused with a sense of longing, making it distinctive in its reflective storytelling style.
