Taipei City Government

The annual “Taipei Urban Film Festival” is here!
 
Entering the 10^th year, the Street Documentary Program organized by Urban Regeneration Office (URO) has been dedicated to the discovery of the diversity, vibrancy, and cultural essence of Taipei’s city blocks.
 
With the theme of “City and Memories,” “City and Desires,” as well as “A Flowing City,” the film festival seeks to document stories happening in every corner of Taipei through the lens of residents, telling about forgotten anecdotes in urban life. The expression of “Taipei Squat” has been employed as the festival’s core spirit to accentuate the first-hand observations of what’s happening around Taipei.

The premiere, taking place at “Taipei Vision Studio” on February 3, will feature screening of three selected films, symposiums and talks about works from past events, traditional music performances, and more. A total of 10 to 15 community groups devoted to city block rejuvenation will share with visitors their experience in documenting street scenes and stories through the medium of cinema.

Residents are invited to visit the event and sign up for themed symposiums and movie screenings at https://goo.gl/UKmbGN (Chinese).
