Approaching his body of work at global level reveals Hou to be a progenitor of slow cinema, with his films moving at a glacial pace as mood is used to create meaning within his austere compositions. Unfolding like a series of solemn tableaux, this dignified saga focuses on the disintegration of the Lin family under an oppressive regime as three sons — bar owner Wen-heung Sung Young Chen , psychologically damaged translator Wen-leung Jack Kao , and the leftist Wen-ching Tony Leung Chiu Wai — choose different but no less tragic paths. The executive committee of the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, organizers of the annual prize ceremony, said Monday that their decision to reward Hou was a unanimous one.

Contrasted with the positive influences one can gain from country life in most of Hou's films are the attractions of the city, with its opportunities for a living wage and concomitant confusion of an alien social structure, and its dissimilar types of human relationships. The film's great visual beauty and grace are matched by the delicacy of its insights, the respect with which Hou treats both his characters and his audiences. Kristin M. SBS World Movies is bringing you the biggest curated films from all over the world every week through to the end of February. By combining multiple forms of tradition with a uniquely cinematic approach to space and time, Hou has created a body of work that, through its stylistic originality and historical gravity, opens up new possibilities for the medium. Good Men, Good Women pursues these themes in different ways, focussing now on actors; it is built upon an intricate double narrative and a complicated time-scheme. A silent long take and a long shot shows the three naive boys staring at the city—the farce turning out to be their first taste of the bitterness of the city—without anger but with a deep sense of helplessness. Hou Hsiao-hsien is the most important Taiwanese filmmaker working today, and his sensuous, richly nuanced films reflect everything that is vigorous and genuine in contemporary film culture.

  • 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.

  • 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
    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.

Eighteen people recall their lives in Shanghai. Their personal experiences, like eighteen chapters of a novel, builds a vivid picture of Shanghai life from the 1930s to 2010. Long Synopsis: Shanghai's past and present flow together in Jia Zhangke's poetic and poignant portrait of this fast-changing port city. Restoring censored images and filling in forgotten facts, Jia provides an alternative version of 20th century China's fraught history as reflected through life in the Yangtze city. He builds his narrative through a series of eighteen interviews with people from all walks of life-politicians' children, ex-soldiers, criminals, and artists (including Taiwanese master Hou Hsiao-hsien) -- while returning regularly to the image of his favorite lead actress, Zhao Tao, wandering through the Shanghai World Expo Park. (The film was commissioned by the World Expo, but is anything but a piece of straightforward civic boosterism.) A richly textured tapestry full of provocative juxtapositions. - Metrograph ​ Director’s Biography: Jia Zhangke was born in Fenyang, Shanxi, in 1970 and graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

  • Leo Chanjen Chen Cine, Sueño, Existencia
    02 Articulos OK 20/7/06 13:44 Página 71 ARTÍCULOS LEO CHANJEN CHEN CINE, SUEÑO, EXISTENCIA El cine de Hou Hsiao-Hsien Considerado en estos momentos mayoritariamente como el mejor direc- tor vivo de Asia, autor de una obra extensa –unas diecinueve películas hasta el momento–, Hou Hsiao-Hsien sigue no obstante siendo una de las figuras menos entendidas del mundo del cine. Los frecuentes premios en festivales de cine –Nantes, Berlín, Venecia, Cannes– no le proporcionaron de inmediato la atención internacional; mientras que en su propio país, Taiwan, la recepción ha sido extrañamente letárgica y desequilibrada. Las películas que lo han hecho famoso son un arte elevado, de formas más detallistas y elípticas que las de un contemporáneo igualmente dotado, Edward Yang. Pero al contrario que éste, o quizá que cualquier otro di- rector de fama comparable, Hou es producto de una década de actividad en los escalones más bajos del cine comercial, y las dos mitades de su ca- rrera están relacionadas. Sin haber pasado nunca un periodo extenso fue- ra de la isla, es un maestro más puramente taiwanés que Yang –por no hablar del todoterreno de Hollywood Ang Lee– y su logro sólo se puede captar en su entorno, el desarrollo complejo de la sociedad taiwanesa desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Hou nació en abril de 1947 en la China continental, en una comunidad hakka de Guangdong. Su padre fue un educador que consiguió trabajo en Taiwan en 1947, antes del éxodo de millones de personas que siguió a la derrota de los ejércitos del KMT en la Guerra Civil.
