Jubilee

This film is the avant-garde masterpiece "Jubilee" by Derek Jarman, the featured filmmaker of the 2026 Taipei Literature & Film Festival. Through an absurd time-travel narrative, the film presents punk culture's rebellion and mockery of the establishment, interspersed with appearances from classic bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, capturing the spirit of the 1970s British underground culture. Jarman uses fragmented, collage-like imagery and sound to sharply prophesy the fate of rebellious culture being co-opted by the media. It is a powerful and unsettling portrait of its era.
