Kaohsiung Film Archive Creates 'Story Nest' with 100 Picture Books for Families

The Kaohsiung Film Archive has launched a new children's reading area, "Story Nest," in collaboration with the Sanfa Education Foundation. Located on the first floor of the archive, this space is designed to be a welcoming environment for families, offering 100 picture books with film themes and ample drawing paper.

Film Archive Director Huang Hao-chieh emphasized that educating children about film extends beyond just watching movies. He believes that reading picture books is a vital pathway to developing visual thinking and creative imagination. The "Story Nest" complements the existing "Magic of Light and Shadow" exhibition, providing a comfortable setting for both children and adults to read and draw inspiration from the images and stories in the books.

Children's image education is not just about watching movies; reading picture books can also be an important way to open up image thinking and creative imagination.

Yang Hsien-ling, chairperson of the Sanfa Education Foundation, expressed her hope that "Story Nest" will connect with other reading spaces, encouraging more children to explore different worlds through books and film. She envisions the space fostering greater learning and growth opportunities for children through shared experiences with adults.

The Kaohsiung Film Archive regularly hosts exhibitions and activities. More information can be found on their official website, LINE account, Facebook, and Instagram.

We hope that this small reading corner, 'Story Nest,' can connect with the Film Archive and reading spaces elsewhere, accompanying more children to see different worlds through reading and film, and allowing adults and children to participate together, creating more learning and growth opportunities for children.
