FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12
3:00 pm Jump! Ashin
Lin Yu-hsien (Fan Kun Pa A Hsin, 2011)
As a young teen, Ashin, solidly played by Eddie Peng, is enamored of the athletic life; training and competing in gymnastics gives him focus and drive. When family and work responsibilities take him away from this love, Ashin and his best friend Pickle descend into the rudderless world of street fighting and drugs. Remarkably based on the true story of director Lin Yu-hsien’s older gymnast brother, Jump! Ashin fuses moving drama with inventive action and athletic sequences.

6:30 pm Din Tao: Leader of the Parade
OPENING NIGHT FILM
Fung Kai (Chen Tao, 2012)
Ah-Tai, a rock n’ roll guitarist with dreams of stardom returns home to rural Taichung and renews a bitter conflict with his estranged father, who trains disadvantaged youths in a traditional form of drumming known as Din-Tao. Ah-Tai initially wants nothing to do with this ritual, but is sucked into performing with the troupe when a rival from his youth challenges him.
In the process, Ah-Tai transforms the company with his contemporary musical style.

8:30 pm Opening Night party with complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres at Superfrog Gallery at New People.
9:30 pm Din Tao: Leader of the Parade

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13
1:30 pm Joyful Reunion
Tsao Jui-yuan (Yin Shih Nan Niu – Hao Yuan Yo Hao Chin, 2011) This humorous and thoughtful multigenerational film tells a delicate story of social classes, careers and romance, while turning an especially attentive eye towards depicting the importance (and joys) of cooking and eating.

4:00 pm Days We Stared at the Sun
Cheng Yu-chieh (Ta Men Tsai Pi Yeh Te Chien Yi Tien Pao Tsa, 2011) This delicious melodrama, bursting with twists that are shocking, terrible and often incredibly unlikely, is the feature-length film version of the popular television series of the same name. Set in the world of high school, the film primarily focuses on two boys who find kinship in their shared pressures of family life, bullying, drug dependency, poverty and corruption.

6:30 pm Jump! Ashin see 10/12

9:30 pm Ye Zai
International Premiere
Tseng Ying-ting (Ye zai, 2012)
Scrappy and taut, this film infiltrates the underworld of illegal immigration and those who exploit it. Ye-zai is one of the most successful and resourceful workers in the new trade of hunting down and turning in illegal aliens and their employers for a reward from the Taiwanese government. One day, his estranged brother calls him to let him know that his father’s foreign and illegally employed caregiver has gone missing. Suddenly thrust into the position of the illegal employers he hunts, Ye-zai must find the missing caregiver within three days or risk losing the position he’s established for himself after years of hard work.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14
12:00 pm Ye Zai see 10/13

2:00 pm A Brighter Summer Day
Edward Yang (Ku Ling Chieh Shao Nien Sha Jen Shih Chien, 1991) Never before released in the United States and unavailable on DVD, Edward Yang’s extraordinary memory film stretches tautly over four hours of screen time and more than 100 speaking parts. Set in the early 1960s and inspired by the true story of Taiwan’s first juvenile homicide case, the film follows rebellious teenager Xiao Si’r as he comes of age amidst rival street gangs and the “White Terror” witch hunts of Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang government.

7:00 pm Blowfish
U.S. Premiere
Lee Chi-yuarn (Ho Tun, 2011)
From director Lee Chi-yuarn (an acclaimed poet in Taiwan) comes the story of Xiao-zhun, who, when she catches her boyfriend cheating on her, decides to find a better home for her pet blowfish by offering it in an online auction.
A young baseball coach, alone and waiting for his wife to return to him from yet another extramarital excursion, takes part in the auction and purchases the blowfish. When Xiao-zhun delivers the fish, they form an instant connection and strike up an affair of their own, but lurking all the while are the deep and unspoken scars of their former lives.

9:00 pm Joyful Reunion see 10/13
