A completely unique Taiwanese fantasy-fable-melodrama about the interactions between various animals in the forest. What makes this so unique is that the animals are played by actors dressed in rather inexpensive costumes. Oddly fascinating and involving. This screening will be followed by a Skype Q&A with Dr. Ming-Yeh T. Rawnsley, founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Taiwan Studies and co-organizer of the touring retrospective “Taiwan’s Lost Commercial Cinema.

This screening made possible by the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute and the Taiwan Academy of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Houston.
