Events › Silenced Sunrise: Documentary Screening and Director Q&A 《噤聲的天光》：紀錄片及導演問答

When music becomes ideology, who decides what can be heard?

In Taiwan, generations of musicians have lived under both visible censorship and invisible market pressures tied to China. Hosted by cultural historian Chen-Yu Lin (Honorary Fellow, Institute of Popular Music, University of Liverpool), this session explores the enduring impact of the "China factor" on Taiwan's music -- past and present.

Through a screening and discussion, Lin invites us to think: What does cultural sovereignty sound like -- and who gets to decide?

The documentary is in Mandarin with English subtitles. Q&A will be conducted in Mandarin.

In partnership with Vancouver TAIWANfest.

當音樂不再是旋律，而成爲政治的回聲，誰決定什麽能被聽到？

從威權審查到市場壓力，台灣音樂長期受到“中國因素”的形塑與鉗制。本場活動將播放紀錄片《噤聲的天光》，由導演林真宇主持，她是英國利物浦大學流行音樂中心榮譽研究員，專注流行音樂與文化政治經濟之間的拉鋸。在台灣，過去音樂創作受政府以“中國因素”爲名的審查禁絕，如今，面對來自中國的市場與輿論壓力，創作者仍在尋找發聲的空間。

本此活動聚焦於：文化主體性該如何在政治、市場與輿論的夾縫中奏響——最終由誰決定？

國語紀錄片有英文字幕，問答用國語。
