Tribute: Tsai Ming-liang

"My films are based on real life. I really care about authenticity, which is one of my most important goals."
Tsai Ming Liang is a Malaysian-born director who developed his work in Taiwan, and has won festival awards all over the world. His silent films composed of long takes fulfill one of the most important concepts of the Buddha's teaching of sati, mindfulness, alertness, spirit-presence. Ji.hlava will present his fantasy VR project The Deserted, but above all five realistically poetic films, which will be shown for the first time ever in the Czech Republic with the director's personal participation.

The Tsai Ming-liang retrospective was supported by the Ministry of Culture Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Prague.
