Documentary on High-Heeled Influencer Fufu Pitches at Taipei Fest
A documentary about Fufu, an online personality known for dance routines in high heels, is being presented at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei. The fest runs from 6 to 9 November at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, according to Variety. The film is called My Silly Flirty Boys.
Frankie Sin directs. He is a Hong Kong filmmaker based in Taiwan, and he moved there from one of Hong Kong's outlying islands more than a decade ago. Sin met Fufu in 2016 and followed him from 2017 to 2026, Variety reports. In the film, Fufu is nearing 40.
Fufu runs an online channel called FJ234, where he talks about desire and features drag queens and LGBTQ+ performers. Variety reports that the channel will shut down in 2026. The documentary also takes in the criticism Fufu has drawn. Variety reports that some critics have called him a "cancer of the gay community."
Sin is no stranger to festival prizes. Screen Daily reported in 2024 that he won the Mecenat Award for best documentary at the Busan International Film Festival, and that his debut feature was non-narrative. Screen Daily also named the project among those to watch at the 2024 edition of the Taipei fest.
The fest is organised by the Taiwan Creative Content Agency, known as TAICCA. My Silly Flirty Boys is in the 2026 TCCF Pitching Project Selection, and the fest's listing gives its country as Taiwan. Festivals like this one act as a meeting point. Filmmakers pitch unfinished projects to funders, sales agents and partners, and those meetings decide which films get made and where they go.
The film's team is set out in the listing. Stefano Centini and Chuti Chang are executive producers. Henry Leong and Peter Yam are producers. The project targets picture lock in the third quarter of 2027, which is the point where the edit is finished and no more changes are made to the cut. That makes 2027 the earliest realistic window for a finished film, and no release date has been announced.
Sin is also developing two more projects, according to Variety. An Island Boy follows a young Hong Kong fisherman. Nomads of the Island explores his own family history. Both are at an early stage, and neither has a confirmed partner or date.
What stands out here is the subject's reach. Fufu's channel has been part of a wider conversation about identity, desire and public criticism, and the film arrives as that channel is set to close. For the people who pitch at the fest, the next step is finding money and partners before the cut is locked.
