	Taiwanese Cinema
		Cinema arrived on the island of Taiwan in 1901.
		The New Cinema directors have responded to a recent increase in the public consciousness of the movement to return to the native and regional cultures.
		The question of art cinema and popular cinema in relation to the industrial and commodity system in Taiwan seems to be the main issue underlying the many objections raised against the new directors, a consideration that has been ignored for too long and too easily.

	Asia Pacific Arts: The new new Taiwan cinema: An Interview with Chien Wei-Ssu
		And the sound, that sound is the sound of an era, but in addition to this, it's because in the past, the KMT government denied the history and culture during the Japanese era/occupancy.
		And because later when the KMT came to Taiwan, because of the culture gap -- that was why there was the 228 incident -- it resulted in a very unhappy historical incident.
		Taiwan really doesn’t have any commercial films anymore -- some are art films, like Hou Hsiao-hsien or Tsai Ming-liang’s films, but the problem is their stuff is shot, it feels like they're shot for western critics.

	Dancing shadows of film exhibition: Taiwan and the Japanese influence
		So Taiwan's early film history was quite removed from that of mainland China: the first films distributed in Taiwan came through the Japanese islands, at first from France, and later from other western countries and from Japan.
		Taiwan saw both the eastern and western conventions for tinted colour in film, so a blue tint in a film from the West and an orange tint in a film from Japan both indicated a night scene.
		The League terminated its activity in Taiwan and was immediately reorganised in Tokyo under the same name, with the same purpose and the same membership: there, it was approved by the minister of the interior, and the activism continued.

	Cinema
		During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Taiwan's film industry was one of the strongest in Asia, but the scene was dominated by syrupy romances, grade-B kung fu movies, and moralistic or propaganda-oriented dramas.
		Initially inspired by Taiwan's nativist literature of the 1960s and 1970s, New Wave directors, such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and Wang Tong, created a cinema with a unique Taiwanese flavor by focusing on realistic and sympathetic portrayals of both rural and urban life.
		New Cinema directors took a highly introspective approach in examining the effects of the political, social, and economic changes that Taiwan had experienced over the past five decades.

	Ban Wang, Globalization, Taiwan Cinema (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In the study of Taiwan cinema, the issue of identity is political rather than a matter of image, style, aesthetics or reconfiguration of the mainstream patterns.
		At the millennial turning point, accompanied by the loud gospel of global markets, liberal democracy, and the end of history, identity is blithely dissolved into a free-floating, hybrid blur of nonidentity or advertised diversity in the supposedly denationalized, deterritorialized world.
		The identity of Taiwan cinema needs to be seen as a strenuous aesthetic grappling with volatile geopolitical situations in the world of shifting, antagonistic nations and forces.

	Formula 17: Testing a Formula for Mainstream Cinema in Taiwan
		In the poster, as well as the trailer, the homosexual relationship is more than suggested (the trailer even reveals their big kiss) but it is not made to feel “heavy” as in the films of Tsai Ming-liang, so as to retain the atmosphere of a romantic comedy while squeezing squeals out of giddy teenage girls.
		While the use of theme songs is hardly new in Chinese cinemas, the use of the music video shows that the film is directly targeting a certain audience and is promising that the film will adhere to a certain music video vocabulary, namely fast cutting, cross-cutting, unusual camera setups, and, of course, popular song (4).
		The making-of featurette on the Taiwanese version of the DVD includes an extended section on the preparation of the love scene, showing that the film is not necessarily promoting acceptance of gay themes, but is offering the thrill of seeing their idols flirt with deviant sexuality, which is hardly a radical reading.

		The director is Chen Kuo-fu, one of Taiwan's great art film auteurs whose THE PERSONALS recently received critical acclaim in the US.
		And David Morse's Great White Specialist mostly flounders around, stuck in the miasmal hell-swamp of Taiwan's scorching summer and in the relentless pull of Tony's depression.
