In 'Stranger Eyes,' a young couple begins receiving strange videos after the mysterious disappearance of their baby daughter and realize that someone has been filming their daily lives — even their most intimate moments. As the identity of the voyeur and the truth behind the videos are revealed, the family begins to fall apart.
The Taiwanese screening is the film's Asian premiere and its first public screening following its world premiere this week in Venice. Yeo's previous title, "A Land Imagined," won two awards at the Golden Horse Film Awards.
The 2024 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival will take place from November 7 to 24. The full program will be announced on October 25.
