Taiwan documentary explores life of high-heels dancer Fufu

The documentary “My Silly Flirty Boys,” directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Frankie Sin, is being showcased at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei. The film follows the nine-year journey of Fufu, a prominent Taiwanese influencer known for his high-heeled dance routines and his online platform, FJ234.

As Fufu approaches age 40, the film examines the psychological impact of fame, the loneliness of his persona, and the challenges of aging within a performance-based career. The documentary also explores the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation in Taiwan, noting how Fufu’s bold style faced criticism from those seeking more conventional portrayals of gay men.

Filmed between 2017 and 2026, the project also serves as a personal reflection for Sin, who documents his own search for identity and his experiences navigating Taiwan’s queer culture and its emphasis on hyper-masculinity.
