Exit No 6 (Liu Hao Chukou)
Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Lin Yu-hsien, Taiwanese youth film Exit No 6 delves into the fast lives of today's lost younger generation. In this film, his first fictional feature film, Lin explores a topic that he covered in documentary form before, namely youth subculture.
Keeping Watch (Chen Shui de Qingchun)
The Golden Bell-winning television screenwriter/director, Cheng Fen-fen's debut feature, Keeping Watch, is a picturesque tale of romance, loneliness, and healing in a lazy rural town. The film is a fusion of youth romance and art house melancholy, delivered by a very photogenic cast.
Su Mi Ma Sen Love (Duibuqi,Wo Ai Ni)
Director Lin Yu-hsien tells of love and serendipity in this film, which stars breakout Japanese actress Tanaka Chie from Cape No 7 and Wu Huai-chung from Crystal Boys. A scenic love story set in Taiwan's southern port of Kaohsiung, the film takes on a half-documentary style as the camera follows the two protagonists through a wistful tour of the city and their hearts.
