Taiwanese Film Festival II

Following the First Taiwanese Film Festival (TWFF)’s incredible success last year, the Second Taiwanese Film Festival “TWFF II” will be held in Vancouver once again starting from June 20th to 22nd for a duration of three days at the Vancouver International Film Centre.

Last year in April, the First Taiwanese Film Festival presented by UBC Literature Etc. came to a successful end in thundering applauses and amazing amount of positive feedbacks. All 10 screenings were sold out, winning the recognition and support from various communities. Furthermore, the festival offered people who had never seen Taiwanese films a chance to taste the refined art of Taiwanese films and a feel of Taiwan’s unique local communities and culture.

After a year of anticipation, UBCLE is now set in gear for the Second Taiwanese Film Festival. This year, the theme of the festival is “The Footprints of Youth”, featuring six Taiwanese films, My Football Summer, The Most Distant Course, Island Etude, Shonenko, Keeping Watch and Love’s Lone Flower, each with international film festival awards or nominations. The six films illustrate six different paths of life tied together by the theme of youth and growth; yet, these lives strongly contrast with each other as the elements of time and environment differ in each.
