After Hong Kong and Thailand, Taiwan presents its own very personal vision of the near future in “Ten Years Taiwan”, the omnibus that is now a sort of franchising, following the original anti-establishment project originated in Hong Kong.
Unlikely the Thailand version that had established directors on board and a spotlight on big name Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and more similarly to the Hong Kong one, this is a collection of 5 short movies from 5 young directors whose vision of their country in 10-year time, highlights the concerns of the present-day Taiwan.
“Ten Years Taiwan” is screening at Across Asia Film Festival
First one to open the collection is “The Can of Anido” by aboriginal director Lekal Sumi who focuses on the environmental issue. Maran is an aboriginal old man on the small island of Lanyu who, day after day, looks after his vegetable garden that provides him with a frugal meal every day.
