Portraits of Taiwan: Taiwan Documentary Festival UK Campus Tour
The festival aims to illustrate the spirit of Taiwan through the documentary screening and an exhibition, Portraits of Taiwan. This would be a series of Taiwan Documentary Festivals curated with annual theme every year. Through a variety of activities, including after-theater talks, art exhibition, workshops, seminars, etc., we hope to provide an in-depth discussion to the selected award-winning Taiwan documentary films. Film experts, producers or directors will be invited to the after-theater discussion, addressing the contemporary political, environmental, and social issues in Taiwan and the parallel issues in UK or other countries.
This year 2011, the Taiwan Documentary Festival is intended to be a part of wider cultural activity in UK, particularly in celebration of 100th anniversary of Taiwan's R.O.C. revolution in 1911. The film festival is also part of the joint-cultural activity among all Taiwan Student Societies in the United Kingdom.
