Taipei City Government

To mark the 20^th anniversary of Taipei Film Festival, the Department of Cultural Affairs joins Taipei Rapid Transit in rolling out “MRTaipei”, transforming MRT stations into theaters on May 26, as well as during the early hours of May 27.
 
Starting 11 AM on Saturday May 26, MRT Daha Park Station, MRT Nanjing Fuxing Station, MRT Zhongshan Station, and MRT Daan Park Station will take turns screening movies. All of the movies have been selected with care to reflect the characteristics of the respective stations and surrounding areas.
 
The idea behind the event is simple: city as a theater, connecting MRT, movies, and residents’ everyday life.
 
One major highlight of MRTaipei is the screenings at Songshan Railway Station, which will start at 1 AM on May 27 and last through 6 AM. As such, the organizers reminds that participants must be 18 years of age or older. There are only 300 seats available and admission begins at midnight, May 26.

1. 11 AM, fan-shaped plaza outside Exist 2 of Dahu Park Station: “Mambo Girl”
2. 2 PM, pedway of Nanjing Fuxing Station: “Great Buddha”
