This animated short conveys children’s points of view and encourages young audiences to get interested in the old generations. The short form is ideal for the parents and teachers to start a conversation with the kids about Taiwan’s history, their grandparents’ time, and help the kids establish a sense of connection between themselves and society. The programme incorporates historical postcards and newsreel archives, children’s interviews and paintings, which is innovative and rarely seen in Taiwan. Some parents shared that their kids were quite interested and some parents found the newsreel archive interesting even for themselves. It was a special project for the 2022 Taiwan International Children’s Film Festival, organised by PTS for kids aged 4-12. The film was screened both online and physically, receiving more than 2,400 views online. It is presented online via PTS+, the streaming service of PTS and has won nominations at numerous international festivals.
