關於
《人在路途中》
紀錄片追溯 1995 年在北京召開的「聯合國第四次世界婦女大會」在東亞留下的回聲。影片走訪日本、台灣、韓國、香港與中國大陸的二十多位女權行動者，循着三十年前的脈絡，追問跨越地域與世代的連結如何流動？在極化與縮窄的空間中，是什麼讓潮水一次又一次地回來？
影片入選 2026 年 Association for Asian Studies（AAS）Film Expo，並已獲墨爾本大學、海德堡大學與康考迪亞大學圖書館館藏。 2026 年 11 月，影片也將在 Barcelona Queer Film Festival 與巴塞隆納 Pati Llimona 的 ReGenera’t 系列合作活動中放映，並舉行映後對談。
About
The Returning Tide: Thirty Years On
The film revisits more than twenty feminist activists from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China to trace the lasting impact of the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing across East Asia. It follows the connections forged during the conference, examines gender mainstreaming frameworks, and explores the rise of grassroots, queer movement and digital rights alongside the backlash these activists now face. Through these intertwined stories, the film continually asks what sustains such struggles and how feminist movements persist, transform, and evolve across generations and regions.
The film was selected for the 2026 Association for Asian Studies (AAS) Film Expo and has been acquired by the university libraries of the University of Melbourne, Heidelberg University, and Concordia University. In November 2026, it will also be screened in Barcelona as part of a collaboration between the Barcelona Queer Film Festival and Pati Llimona’s ReGenera’t series, followed by a post-screening discussion.
無力感是現實，
我們要把「沒有辦法」變成「想辦法」。
Helplessness is real.
but we can turn “there’s nothing we can do” into “we’ll find a way”.
