The two films from Taiwan in this edition show, on the one hand, the most recent opus by one of the masters not only of Asian cinema, but especially world cinema, Tsai Ming-liang. And on the other, a film by one of the Taiwanese directors who works on genre cinema with an authorial vision, Hung-i Cheng. This time he co-directs it with debutant director Muni Wei. Likewise, Thai cinema will be represented by a brief but significant exhibition of short films that allow knowing the thematic and stylistic variety of its filmmakers.
