Tsai Ming-liang / Taiwan / 2018 / Czech Premiere / 18 min.


synopsis

The iconic Zhongshan Hall in downtown Taipei was designed by architect Ide Kaoru as a public auditorium during Japanese colonial rule. The body of the aged 1936 building is now lyrically enveloped by the rays of the morning sun, giving life to static surfaces, reliefs, curves and memory preserved in matter.

biography

Tsai Ming-liang (1957) is a Malaysian native who lives and works in Taiwan. Together with Ang Lee and Hou Hsiao-hsien, he is a leading representative of the Taiwanese New Wave. His work has features of slow cinema, conceptual art and performance art and deals with themes of loneliness, time and memory. His second feature, Vive L'Amour (1994), won the Golden Lion at Venice. The River (1997) won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale, and The Wayward Cloud (2005) competed there.
