The short film competition highlights the work of six Taiwanese filmmakers, whose films will be screened at the festival. On the opening night, one of the films will receive the Jury Prize for Best Short Film, presented by non-profit organization Gold House.
The six films for this year include “Addiction” directed by Tzu-Hsuan Peng; “Century Egg” directed by Charles Barratt; “Darling This Was Hard” directed by Min-Chun Hou; “MAMU” directed by Aephie Chen; “Side By Side” directed by Ching Wen and “Suo Jiang” directed by Chien-Yu Lin.
The intensive screenwriting program is designed to serve as a showcase and accelerator for emerging Taiwanese talent by providing creative guidance to emerging filmmakers working on their first or second feature film. Doug Wright (“Quills,” “I Am My Own Wife”), Nicole Perlman (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Captain Marvel”) and Tom Shu-yu Lin (“Winds of September,” “Zinnia Flower”) will advise and mentor the program.
