Taiwan Film Festival Edinburgh 2021 -- Wrap-up

https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/11/01/taiwan-film-festival-edinburgh-2021-wrap-up/ In our final podcast on the Taiwan Film Festival Edinburgh 2021, we praise its programming, its accessibility, and its decision to also include live events alongside the digital. We also delve into other types of films in the programmer not covered by this podcast so far, Pai Jing-jui's Morning in Taipei (1964) with its similarities to Humphrey Jennings cinema and the 'city symphony' films of the 1920s' and with its superb new score by Lim Giong; Den Nan-guang's 8 mm home movies; and we delve with considerable depth into Chen Kuo-fu's The Personals (1998) , a film anyone interested in issues of gender and sexuality will be interested in seeing (it has a fantastic queer moment very relevant to current discussions)
