Posak Jodian

Posak Jodian is a member of the Amis peoples living in Taipei. Posak is her name and Jodian is the name of her father. With the background of the ethnolinguistics and communication studies, Posak mainly uses the documentary film, her ethnic background, plus the long-term field studies to pay attention to the shaping of Traditional Territories and keep an eye on the indigenous peoples who are away from home and live in the urban city. Meanwhile, Posak arrives at the site of each mass movement and takes part in all the possible activities that the young people do in the city’s restricted space. She continually collects the raw materials of images to film the documentary “Social Practice: Changing from Going Straight to the Halfway Café”. She tries to use the ethnic groups and cultural development as the axis to broaden the boundary between identity and recognition.
