aGLIFF invites you to join the Austin Asian American Film Festival for a six-film series celebrating the past and present of queer Taiwanese cinema.
The All Genders, Lifestyles, and Identities Film Festival (aGLIFF) is proud to partner with our friends at Austin Asian American Film Festival (AAAFF) to offer six essential films from Taiwanese queer cinema for online viewing beginning today through Sunday, September 13th.
The legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan (which took effect in May 2019) inspired the AAAFF team to examine the evolution of LGBTQ subjects throughout the country's cinematic history. The resulting lineup of films (many of which were never released or remain elusive in the United States) spans from 1970 to 2016, and includes such key film making figures in Taiwanese cinema as Tsai Ming-liang, Mickey Chen, and Zero Chou.
All six films and exclusive filmmaker Q&As will be available anywhere in the United States throughout the viewing period but once you begin playback of a film, you will have 48 hours to complete your viewing.
