Guangyin de gushi – Taiwan xin dianying

Taipei once was the world capital of cinema. Authors such as Hou Hsiao-Hsien (“A City of Sadness”, 1989; “Millennium Mambo”, 2002) and Edward Yang (“A Bright Summer Day”, 1991; “Yi Yi”, 2000) opened new ways for the portrait of time and how their country’s political history determined their feelings. Growing between China and an attraction for the Western world, Taiwan’s cinema changed the life of Asian film directors (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tsai Ming-Liang) and European ones (Olivier Assayas).)
