2021 Taiwan Post-New Wave Cinema Project

SOAS Centre of Taiwan Studies
倫敦大學亞非學院臺灣研究中心
21st June-2nd July 2021

Project Introduction

After the successful conclusion of our inaugural series last year, the Taiwan Post-New Wave Cinema Project has returned with its much anticipated second edition, which carries through its mission to raise awareness of contemporary Taiwan cinema by presenting a brand new season of director focused film series followed by live Q&A sessions.

Similar to last year, the project will bring together leading film scholars to critically examine the works of some accomplished yet under-discussed filmmakers who have followed the ‘auteurs’ of the late 1980s such as Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Edward Yang.

This year’s main series features an extensive collection of films from established directors Yang Ya-che, Chen Yu-hsun and Chen Singing, seeking to showcase the broad variety and diversity of filmmaking talent among Taiwan's Post-New Wave generation.

In celebration of a new generation of women filmmakers in Taiwan cinema, this year’s edition has dedicated a special series to Emerging Female Directors, which includes the works of four up-and-coming female directors, namely Lee Yi-Shan, Chen Ting-Ning, Huang Xi and Tung Shu-Yuan. Through this special series, the project hopes to put a spotlight on the chroniclers of female experience, and to highlight the broad spectrum of voices that make up the vibrant cinema of Taiwan.

For more information on the project and Taiwan Post-New Wave Cinema, visit the Taiwan Post-New Wave Cinema Project website .

Director Q&A sessions and Roundtable events will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams. Online screening links will be sent to those who have registered through each film's Eventbrite page.

*This programme is in development and subject to change. More events will be added as soon as they are confirmed.

Please Note: Due to licencing regulations we are required to prioritise screening access for audiences based in the UK for films on the programme. Only those who have registered with a .uk email address will be provided with screening links. Films which are subject to this regulation will have a notification listed on their individual event page and Eventbrite page.
