DANCING IN THE LIGHT - A RETROSPECTIVE ON EARLY TAIWAN CINEMATOGRAPHY
DANCING IN THE LIGHT - A RETROSPECTIVE ON EARLY TAIWAN CINEMATOGRAPHY took two years to complete. It is both an homage to the works of the first generation Taiwan cinematographers and a history of Taiwan film and culture, breathlessly spanning World War Ⅱ to 1980. Early Taiwanese cinematographers - whose voices appear on the soundtrack - were at the cutting edge of Taiwanese art, culture and politics. They brought an innovative approach to shooting, totally alien to the Western practices. This is the first time some footage being released from the vaults of the Chinese Taipei Film Archive since their first screenings decades ago. This is also the first film to present a perspective and authoritative portrait of Taiwan's troubled film industry.
