ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE
BEST SHORT FILM: DOCUMENTARY
Post-screening conversation with Director S. LEO CHANG
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22 • 6:30
The rural Taiwanese outer islands of Kinmen sit merely 2 miles off the coast of China. Kinmen attracts tourists for its remains from the 1949 Chinese Civil War. It also marks the frontline for Taiwan in its escalating tension with China. Filmmaker S. Leo Chiang weaves lyrical vignettes of tourist visits and local life with his own narrative as someone negotiating ambivalent personal bonds to Taiwan, China, and the US, ISLAND IN BETWEEN explores the uneasy peace in these islands, and contemplates Taiwan’s uncertain future.
Director: S. Leo Chang (Taiwan 2023) 20 min. + 30 min. Conversation
In English and Mandarin with English subtitles
