Celebrated equally within lineages of Taiwanese, auteur and slow cinema, Tsai is known for his long shots, elliptical narratives and painterly approaches to light and colour. His films explore themes of urban alienation and loneliness as they carefully tread the line between comedy and tragedy.

He joins us to present the UK premieres of recent feature films Your Face and Afternoon, a 35mm film print of Goodbye, Dragon Inn and a screening of his short films he has selected specially for the occasion. Tsai will also lead a masterclass.

This programme has been made possible thanks to the contribution of the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, and is presented in partnership with Taiwan Film Festival.

--

Tsai Ming-liang (b.1957, Malaysia) is an artist and filmmaker whose practice spans film, installation, theatre and virtual reality. At the age of twenty he moved to Taipei, where he studied in the Drama and Cinema Department of the Chinese Culture University of Taiwan. He went on to work as a theatrical producer, screenwriter and television director in Hong Kong. He directed several telefilms before completing his first feature, 1992’s Rebels of the Neon God. His next film Vive L’amour was awarded the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival, where he would later win the Grand Jury Prize for his 2013 film Stray Dogs. In 2002, he received the distinction of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government. In 2007, Tsai’s It is a Dream installation was exhibited in the Tawinese Pavillion at the Venice Biennale, after which it went on permanent display at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. In 2009, his film Face was the first film developed through a production initiative by the Louvre Museum in which it began opening its doors to filmmakers.
