Festival focus

The on-going Cross-Strait Film Exhibition in Beijing and Tianjin includes six Taiwan movies, mostly recent works by young filmmakers.

Orz Boyz (Jiong Nan Hai)

Directed by Taiwan novelist and first-time director Yang Ya-che, who won the best director award at the 2008 Taipei Film Festival, the movie revolves around two overactive schoolboys, Liar No 1 (Pang Chin-yu) and Liar No 2 (Lee Kuan-yi), who run wild in the coastal town of Danshui. This charming film is dedicated to kids who can't wait to grow up and adults who wish to return to their childhood.
