Poetries from the Bookstores

Directed by Hou Chi-jan

To celebrate the 21st anniversary of InD Blue, InDPanda brings you the Film Festival Edition of “Poetries From the Bookstores: Season 3”. The documentary series Poetries from the Bookstores enters its third season, with director Hou Chi-jan carefully selecting forty bookstores nestled in cities, the countryside, and outlying islands. Each uniquely styled space is captured through film as poetry instead of words, reflecting how Taiwan's over 200 independent bookstores not only house books but also foster a rich tapestry of diverse relationships and cultures.
