IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Joy International Film Festival is adding a new award category: Best Entrepreneurship Film. Why this category? Very simply put, entrepreneurship is what happens when your passion becomes your livelihood. Since work is a huge part of all our lives, we want to encourage people to make a living doing what they love, and usually that means going into business for themselves. It's often not easy, but when we succeed it brings deep satisfaction. Thus, we want to highlight documentaries or fiction films that inspire, and show the challenges, rewards, joys, and mindset of those who dare to be their own boss. Send us what you've got!
悅影國際影展增加了一個新的獎項類別：最佳創業電影。 為什麼是這個類別？ 簡單地說，當你的熱情成為你的生計時，企業家精神就會發生。 由於工作是我們生活中很重要的一部分，所以我們希望鼓勵人們以自己喜歡的方式謀生，而這通常意味著為自己開展業務。 通常這並不容易，但是當我們成功時，它會帶來很大的滿足感。 因此，我們想要利用紀錄片或虛構電影，激發那些敢勇於成為自己老闆的人的挑戰、獎勵、喜悅和心態。 發給我們你們的作品吧！
Joy International Film Festival (JIFF) is a community event based in Taichung, Taiwan that celebrates positive cinema from around the world.

我們誠摯地邀請您，於2019年11月2日，前來與我們共享來自全球的的短片，一起歡笑、流淚、燃起希望並受到鼓舞。來加入我們尋找良善的旅程。
Joy International Film Festival began as a simple collaboration between local Taichung film buffs and Fengyuan Senior High School. They were looking for a way to bring the community together through culturally rich entertainment that would also provide a platform for voices from around the globe. A film festival was the ideal vehicle for sharing the broad panorama of positive human experiences from all parts of the world that, not surprisingly, reveal how much we all have in common.
悅影國際影展(JIFF) 起源於台中在地的電影愛好者與豐原高中的跨界合作。這群人希望能透過豐富的文化呈現，帶領豐原當地的發展，同時提供一個讓世界各地人們能發聲的平台。舉辦影展是個理想的方式，讓創作者跟觀眾分享來自世界各地的人生觀和啟發人心的生命經驗，並且點出我們彼此的共同之處。
JIFF is pleased to announce the 2019 categories accepting submissions. Selected videos will receive certificates engraved “Joy International Film Festival.” Other prizes will be made available to filmmakers who attend the festival.
2019年第一屆悅影國際影展(JIFF)已正式開始收件。獲選影片將獲得悅影國際影展(JIFF)的入選證明，參賽者並將得到其他合宜的獎項。
All films submitted should focus on positive themes to be eligible for consideration. Examples include: love, kindness, optimism, health, justice, perseverance, empathy—the list could go on and on. As this will be a community event for all to attend, we will not consider films with excessive violence, sex, or adult themes. We also discourage films that express strong political or religious affiliations.
所有參賽影片需以正向積極為主題。舉例如：愛、良善、樂觀，健康，正義，毅力，同理心…以及更多，由於影展將以社區所有民眾為觀眾，我們將不考慮含有大量暴力、性或成人內容的影片，我們也不鼓勵表達強烈的政治立場或宗教背景。
