TUF has been hard at work for over a year now, searching, screening and planning, in order to present a broad and representative selection of films exemplifying the best of contemporary Taiwan cinema. All of the selected films have won prestigious awards in other film festivals, and many of them will have their U.S. premiere at this film festival. In addition, the directors of some of the selected films, including Wei Te-Sheng, acclaimed debut director of the all-time best selling Taiwanese film, Cape No. 7, will appear in person during the festival to meet with the audience and discuss their films.

The Applied Research Center (www.arc.org, publisher of the mag Colorlines) has organized Facing Race, a 3 day national conference in Oakland to discuss race.

Sherman Alexie, famed Native American poet, writer, and screen-writer, will give the keynote address. TaiwaneseAmerican.org and TAP-SF supporter Steve Lin is organizing folks from our community to go and listen to the keynote, followed by a casual dinner.

Date: Thursday, November 13th

Visit: http://www.arc.org/content/view/564/111/ for more detailed info on the conference.

Message from Steve:
"Now I know that I always scoff at paying that much to get into a club, which is supposed to be more fun than speeches about contentious issues, but I'm interested not only in the speaker and his message, but also in building a circle of folks with which to talk about issues of race, politricks, life, fart jokes, (among other things). If you're down to catch the event, grab something to eat afterwards, and politic on deep thoughts from the night, or just plain kick it, please respond. As a firm believer in "the-more-the-merrier," please feel free to corner a friend into coming with you."

Protest Rally at Chinese Consulate in San Francisco

noreply@blogger.com (Ho Chie) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 23:05:00 +0000

*Please note: TaiwaneseAmerican.org takes no official stance with regards to this issue. The information below is from a press release to the general community.*

Date: Saturday, November 1, 2008
Time: 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Geary Blvd. and Laguna Street, San Francisco

On November 1, Bay Area Taiwanese Americans will rally at the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco to protest Beijing official Chen Yunlin's November 3 visit to Taiwan. Chen is the current chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS), the PRC organization responsible for relations with the Republic of China, or Taiwan. The cross-strait talks are expected to touch on direct flights between the two countries, as well as economic trades between the two countries.

The local rally will be held in support of the massive march that took place in central Taipei on October 25th. An estimated half a million Taiwanese participated in the Taipei protest.

"We Taiwanese Americans denounce any policies that threaten Taiwan's sovereignty and national security, and put the 23 million people in Taiwan at risk," says Dr. Pam Tsai, President of Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California. Tsai states that current Taiwan President Ma Ying-Jeou's policies will be "harmful" to Taiwan's right to self-determination and that signing the "Closer Economic Partner Agreement"(CEPA) with China "implicitly acknowledges that Taiwan is a second Hong-Kong and part of China."

Taiwan's status is contested by China, who has claimed the island since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. In the 1970s, the US switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, under the premise of "One China." Many in Taiwan, with its independent language, culture, history and government, seek world recognition as a separate, independent nation. Saturday's rally is part of that movement.

The rally will take place Saturday, November 1, from noon to two in front of the Chinese Consulate on Geary Boulevard.

---
Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California (TAFNC) was founded in 1973 with the mission to promote Taiwanese and American cultural exchange. Through a spirit of peace and harmony, our organization hopes to establish an informed and involved Taiwanese community that interacts and co-exists with other diverse groups in California. Eight major Northern California Taiwanese American groups make up TAFNC.

Four Masterpieces by Edward Yang at LA County Museum of Art

noreply@blogger.com (Ho Chie) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:20:00 +0000

"The film world lost writer/director Edward Yang far too soon. He passed away at the age of fifty-nine in 2007, seven years after receiving his first-ever full U.S. release for what has tragically become his final film: the roundly praised and awarded Yi Yi. A leading member of the Taiwanese New Wave alongside Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Yang set his seven features amid the bustle of Taipei's ever-changing landscapes, both physical and psychological. The doubt evident in Yang's statement that "Every citizen in Taiwan has to face a question: what are we going to do in the future-reunification or independence?" reverberates throughout his human-scale epics."

Screenings:
October 11, 7:30 PM: Taipei Story (Qingmei Zhuma)
October 18, 7:30 PM A Brighter Summer Day (Gulingjie Shaonian Sharen Shijian)
October 25, 7:30 PM Yi Yi

For more information, click HERE for the LACMA website.

Ticket Prices:
$10 general admission.
$7 museum members, seniors (62+), students with valid ID.
$5 second film only of a double-feature; no advance purchase.
