Your Island My Home

Your Island My Home is the first strip programming music documentary filmed internationally during the pandemic. It explores life, culture, island wisdom, and self-growth from the music exchanges between the indigenous musicians of Taiwan and New Zealand. The director/producer of this program is Ado’ Kaliting Pacidal, who carried out in-depth research on cross-Austronesian culture and won a Golden Bell Award for the program Songs Blowing Over The Island. This program invited the Golden Horse Award winner, Suming, and the popular diva, A-Lin, to join, and also collaborated with internationally renowned Maori musicians Troy KINGI, Maisey RIKA, and Ria HALL. Through new filming techniques, the program connects the cultures of the two islands, co-creating songs transnationally and sharing the wisdom of life displayed by the indigenous Austronesian peoples during the pandemic.
