Born in 1982, Yu-Ting Su is an independent Taipei filmmaker with a journalism degree from Taiwan’s NCCU. Su believes that every household has a family album containing key memories, and that documentaries, which tell the stories of people in anticipation for all to see, form the proverbial album of society.

Her short film “Happy Birth Day” was crowned short film champion at the 2017 Hong Kong Chinese Documentary Festival and won the silver award at the 2017 Women Make Waves International Film Festival in Taiwan. Her first feature-length documentary, “Our Happy Birth Day” builds upon its predecessor’s momentum and was chosen for the closing picture at the 2019 Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival, then shortlisted by the 2018 Busan International Film Festival’s Wide Angle Documentary Competition.
