Join us on a trip to Asia, particularly Taiwan. In cooperation with Taiwan Docs, we invite you to watch Taiwan’s best contemporary films shown to audiences at international festivals around the world.
A look at Taiwan from the perspective of its colonizers is provided by The Mountain, a documentary seeking the imprints of various cultures in the Truku tribe. Terra Nullius or: How to Be a Nationalist takes us to a group of islands with an area of 7 square kilometres that are claimed by Taiwan, China and Japan. The docu-fiction Time Splits in the River tries to cope with trauma by re-enacting scenes from the dissident past. Are you a fan of Asian music? Then you must know the unique electronic sound artist Huang Da-wang introduced in the documentary TPE-Tics. Spend two weeks on the unique and distinctive island of Taiwan with DAFilms! You can watch the films until December 10, 2017.
