Abstract: This research focuses on the preservation and promotion of the living heritage and cultural identity of Taiwan's indigenous peoples through contemporary Taiwanese cinema, from a decolonial and gendered perspective. Cinema has proved to be a valuable tool of cultural transmission to document their cultural practices, although there is evidence that they have not always been the protagonists of their own stories and have been affected by relations with the different nations that have settled in the country. The continuous colonisations to which they have been subjected have meant the almost total disappearance of their cultures and ways of life, and it was not until the period of transition to democracy at the end of the 20th century that this process began to be reversed with the creation and development of educational, cultural and territorial policies aimed at protecting their rights. This study analyses their representation from a socio-cultural perspective in three relevant periods in history in order to understand their role and vindicates indigenous cinema as a means of dissemination necessary to support their preservation and promotion, especially that which has emerged since 2010, a decade in which indigenous directors began to emerge narrating their stories in the first person. In the midst of accelerated globalisation and rapid digitalisation, indigenous youth today must face the confluence of tradition and modernity and the deconstruction of stereotypes that arise along with other issues in today's indigenous cinema.
