Vienna: Austrian Film Museum and New York: Columbia University Press, 2014. Illustrations. 356 pp. $32.50 (paper), ISBN 978-3-901644-58-0. Reviewed by Xiao Liu (McGill University) Published on H-Asia (January, 2015) Commissioned by Douglas Slaymaker A new anthology, Hou Hsiao-hsien, edited by Richard I. Suchenski, has been published to accompany “Also Like Life: The Films of Hou Hsiao-hsien,” an international retrospective organized by the Center for Moving Image Arts at Bard College in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of China (Taiwan). A quick look at the institutes that participated in this retrospective will tell us about the international impact of Hou Hsiao-hsien: from the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna to the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, from the Pacific Film Archive at University of California at Berkeley to the Harvard Film Archive and British Film Institute, as well as to film centers and festivals in Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago, and São Paulo. It goes without saying that Hou can be called an internationally acclaimed auteur whose style becomes his signature. But the book is more self-reflexively a study of “Hou Hsiao-hsien effects” than merely an auteur study. The book provides different perspectives and aspects that contribute to the “Hou Hsiao-hsien effects”: a group of essays by renowned critics and scholars, such

  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.

  • HOU HSIAO-HSIEN Retrospectiva in Filmoteca De Catalunya in Collaboration with the Asian Film Festival
    HOU HSIAO-HSIEN Retrospectiva in Filmoteca de Catalunya in collaboration with the Asian Film Festival. Barcelona With “The Assassin”, this director, representing the new wave of Taiwanese cinema, born in mainland China (Meixian, Guangdong, 1947), was for many of his current followers a big discovery, thanks to the Best Director Award that was granted in the edition of the Cannes Festival of 2015. This discovery was related to the background aesthetics that prevails in his filmography, with more than twenty titles, from his beginning, in 1980, when he made his debut feature, until nowadays. This retrospective traces the film-maker’s career from “The boys from Fengkuei” (1983), his fourth film, to “The Assassin” (2015). Hou Hisao-Hsien is now carrying out his newest project, and he will not be able to attend the presentation of his retrospective for this reason. In spite of being repeatedly awarded in festivals such as the ones held in Venice and in Cannes, his filmography is far from being known in the West as it would be expected of someone who is the author of films such as “A City of Sadness” (Leone d’Oro, in Venice, 1989), “the Puppetmaster” (Special Jury Prize, in Cannes, 1993) or “The Assassin”, already mentioned. In 1995, the San Sebastian Film Festival dedicated him a retrospective, but since then to date, Hou Hsiao-Hsien has made more than eight titles, few of which have been shown on the screens in Spain. The current retrospective of Filmoteca de Catalunya and Casa Asia will allow the audience to access some of the most outstanding films concerning the poetic that goes through them from beginning to end, as it is perceived in “Flowers of Shanghai” (1998), “Millenium Mambo” (2011), which has been so much compared to “In the Mood for Love” by Wong Kar-Wai, “Café Lumière” (2003), a homage to Yasujiro Ozu, or the three romantic tales of “three Times” (2005), among other titles, fifteen of which are now presented in Filmoteca also forming part of the program of the edition of “Asian Film Festival.

  • Intermedialtranslation As Circulation
    Journal of World Literature 5 (2020) 568–586 brill.com/jwl Intermedial Translation as Circulation Chu Tien-wen, Taiwan New Cinema, and Taiwan Literature Jessica Siu-yin Yeung soas University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract We generally believe that literature first circulates nationally and then scales up through translation and reception at an international level. In contrast, I argue that Taiwan literature first attained international acclaim through intermedial translation during the New Cinema period (1982–90) and was only then subsequently recognized nationally. These intermedial translations included not only adaptations of literature for film, but also collaborations between authors who acted as screenwriters and film- makers. The films resulting from these collaborations repositioned Taiwan as a mul- tilingual, multicultural and democratic nation. These shifts in media facilitated the circulation of these new narratives. Filmmakers could circumvent censorship at home and reach international audiences at Western film festivals. The international success ensured the wide circulation of these narratives in Taiwan. Keywords Taiwan – screenplay – film – allegory – cultural policy 1 Introduction We normally think of literature as circulating beyond the context in which it is written when it obtains national renown, which subsequently leads to interna- tional recognition through translation. In this article, I argue that the contem- porary Taiwanese writer, Chu Tien-wen (b. 1956)’s short stories and screenplays first attained international acclaim through the mode of intermedial transla- tion during the New Cinema period (1982–90) before they gained recognition © jessica siu-yin yeung, 2020 | doi:10.1163/24056480-00504005 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded license.

    ALSO LIKE LIFE: THE FILMS OF HOU HSIAO-HSIEN New addition: Hou Hsiao-Hsien In Conversation at BFI Southbank – Monday 14 September Thursday 13 August 2015, London The BFI is delighted to announce that one of the leading figures of the Taiwanese New Wave Hou Hsiao-Hsien, whose latest film The Assassin won Best Director at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, will make a very rare visit to the UK to take part in an In Conversation event at BFI Southbank. The event, which takes place on Monday 14 September, is part of Also Life Life: The Films of Hou Hsiao- Hsien, a major retrospective celebrating Hou’s work, which takes place from 2 Sept – 6 Oct 2015 at BFI Southbank. Hou-Hsiao-Hsien has helped put Taiwanese cinema on the international map with work that explores the island’s rapidly changing present as well as its turbulent, often bloody past, and is one of the best examples in world cinema of a director who found his own distinctive style and voice while working on the job. The season will kick off with Cute Girl (1980), Cheerful Wind (1981) and The Green Green Grass of Home (1982), all starring Hong Kong pop star Kenny Bee; these early films offer a mixture of comedy and romance and begin to show Hou’s interest in Taiwan’s regional differences, a key theme of his later films. Hou’s other early films such as The Sandwich Man (1983) and The Boys from Fengkuei (1983) dramatised engaging life stories – including his own in The Time to Live and the Time to Die (1985).

  • Tensions in Taiwan
    preface The presidential elections held in Taiwan this spring were widely felt within the island to be a critical moment in its history. A day before polling, incumbent candidate Chen Shui-bian, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (dpp), was grazed by a bullet from an unknown assailant, while touring his home- town in a jeep. The ensuing sympathy gave him victory in the election by a handful of votes over his Kuomintang opponents. The mystery surrounding the shooting incident, and the tiny margin of advantage it yielded, generated heated controversy. Massive demonstrations by supporters of the Blue camp— the kmt and its allies—protested against the upshot of the poll, claiming frafraudud by the Green camp—the dpp and its allies. Behind this political polarization lay, among other issues, tensions between the different communities that make up Taiwan’s population, about two-thirds of which is of immigrant descent from southern Fujian (‘Minnan’ speakers); another ten to twelve per cent of Hakka origin, mainly from Guangdong; some fi fteen per cent mainlanders who arrived in the island as kmt refugees in 1949; together with a third of a million aboriginal inhabitants of the island, of Malayo-Polynesian origin. Concerned that a divisive identity politics, playing on ethnic frictions rather than resolving them, might loom large in the electoral campaign, a distinguished group of intellectuals, artists and activists formed an Alliance for Ethnic Equality before it started. Below is an interview with four of its founders. By common consent Hou Hsiao-Hsien is one of the world’s greatest fi lm directors, whose cinema has offered a series of unforgettable portraits of Taiwanese history and society.

Dos primeiros filmes, mais comerciais, passou para os de memórias pessoais e outros sobre a memória de seu país de adoção, consolidando atualmente um estilo visual e narrativo dos mais sofistica- dos da história do cinema. Tais filmes conferiram a Hou Hsiao-Hsien o reconhecimento da crítica e das curadorias de importantes festivais e vêm, desta forma, consagrando o cineasta como um dos maiores mestres da cinematografia mundial contemporânea. Ao realizar Hou Hsiao-Hsien e o cinema de memórias fragmentadas, o Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil reconhece a importância deste cineasta e proporciona ao público de São Paulo, do Rio de Janeiro e de Brasília a oportunidade de conferir toda a sua filmografia, em retrospectiva que abarca 17 filmes em longa-metragem – todos inéditos no circuito comercial brasileiro –, além do curta-metragem O bonecão do filhinho (Son’s Big Doll / Er zi de da wan’ou), que integra O homem-sanduíche (The Sandwich Man / Er zi de da wan’ou, 1983), um dos filmes-chave na renovação do cinema taiwanês. A mostra constitui uma valiosa oportunidade para os que procuram acompanhar o desenvolvimento do audio- visual contemporâneo e conferir propostas instigantes e de grande apuro estético.

  • Abstract Taiwanese Identity and Transnational Families
    ABSTRACT TAIWANESE IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES IN THE CINEMA OF ANG LEE Ting-Ting Chan, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation argues that acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee should be regarded as a Taiwanese transnational filmmaker. Thus, to best understand his work, a Taiwanese sociopolitical context should be employed to consider his complicated national identity as it is reflected in his films across genres and cultures. Previous Ang Lee studies see him merely as a transnational Taiwanese-American or diasporic Chinese filmmaker and situate his works into a broader spectrum of either Asian-American culture or Chinese national cinema. In contrast, this dissertation argues his films are best understood through a direct reference to Taiwan’s history, politics, and society. The chapters examine eight of Lee’s films that best explain his Taiwanese national identity through different cultural considerations: Pushing Hands (1992) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are about maternity; The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) consider homosexuality; The Ice Storm (1997) and Taking Woodstock (2009) represent a collective Taiwanese view of America; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Lust, Caution (2007) reflect and challenge traditions of Taiwan Cinema. The eight films share three central leitmotifs: family, a sympathetic view of cultural outsiders, and a sympathy for the losing side. Through portraying various domestic relations, Lee presents archetypal families based in filial piety, yet at the same time also gives possible challenges represented by a modern era of equal rights, liberalism, and individualism – which confront traditional Taiwanese-Chinese family views.
