This exciting three-day showcase highlights the best of contemporary Taiwanese cinema and provides Bay Area audiences with unique opportunities to view bold new Taiwanese films and engage with visionary filmmakers.
Opening this year’s Taiwan Film Days on Friday, October 22 is Monga, Niu Doze’s uncompromising gangster epic about organized crime in Taipei during the 1980’s. The weekend continues with Tears, a powerful, gripping drama about a policeman with a troubled past, and Hear Me, a tale of budding romance among the hearing impaired–and Taiwan’s most popular movie of 2009. Filmmakers expected to attend Taiwan Film Days include Essay Liu and Wang Yu-lin, directors of Seven Days in Heaven, and director Wuna Wu of Let’s Fall in Love.
