On the day of the screening, a representative from a web media agency from Taipei was invited to interview filmmakers at Kaohsiung Film Festival.
\nTo our delightful surprise, the interviewer was Mr. Kai-yu Chang, director of the film “Incredi-Boy,” which was screened in the SSFF & ASIA 2016 Asia International competition. He was also one of the directors featured in the \u201cTokyo Cinema Ensemble,\u201d which screened at this year\u2019s award ceremony.

Kaohsiung Film Festival introduces both short and feature-length Japanese films every year, which proves that Japanese films have been well-received by the people in Kaohsiung. This year, several Japanese directors such as Isao Yukisada, SABU, Kazuyoshi Kumakiri and Miwa Nishikawa have participated in the festival.<\/p>\n

The festival continues until November 6th, and we hope that more people in Taiwan continue to enjoy Japanese films!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3284,"parent":0,"template":"","e_news_cat":[550],"class_list":["post-8423","news_en","type-news_en","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","e_news_cat-creators"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en\/8423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_en"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"e_news_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/e_news_cat?post=8423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
