After the year 2000, there was a new wave of reinterpretation of the period of Japanese rule by "local films" spearheaded by "The Dance Age" and "Cape No.7". These films depict life under Japanese rule but contrary to the previous models of sadness and depression or anti-Japanese epic of the past, they now appear to have a pluralistic view of history and issues. It is worth noting that at the same period of time, more Taiwanese female directors came to the fore. Many of whom had devoted themselves to digging and reproducing memories of the Japanese-ruling period, breaking the situation of the past when male directors dominated the field.
The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss how female directors present the period of Japanese rule and how under their lens, this period can produce a dialogue with contemporary Taiwan? The main objects of this study are "The Dance Age" (2003), "Shonenko'' (2006) and "Finding Sayun" (2011), all these three films reconstruct a small colonial history that was deliberately forgotten after the war. We can find these female directors pay more attention to the history and voices of common people who were neglected, and this provide us with different perspectives of the Japanese rule period so that we can develop a more delicate and more multi-aspectual interpretational space of the Japanese era. This dissertation is divided into chapters to examine the genre, the narrative techniques and interpretations of the three films in order to further compare the time significance of these films.
