As Life, As Pangcah (Mayaw, Biho, 1998) · 如是生活 如是Pang-cah

Part oral history, part reflection on a culture at risk of being erased, this documentary presents a deep dialogue between a 94-year-old Pangcah chieftain and an indigenous filmmaker. Through words and songs, hunting trips and weaving of vines, the elderly chieftain lives and embodies the ways of the Pangcah people. He also recounts his frustrated attempts in defending traditional culture against Taiwan’s encroaching modernity. Directed by Mayaw Biho
