Taiwan introduces three popular films to Hanoi audiences.

As part of a series of activities promoting cultural exchange between Taiwan and Vietnam, from November 20th to 21st, the Hanoi Cinematheque (22A Hai Ba Trung Street, Hanoi) will host a film screening program titled "Enjoying Taiwanese Cinema" to introduce Taiwanese cinema.

This program will introduce viewers to three famous Taiwanese films: "Three Times," "When Love Comes," and "Cape No. 7." Each film reflects an aspect of Taiwanese social life, both past and present, with a profound humanistic perspective.

"Three Times" is the 16th feature film by leading Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien. Since its release in 2005, the film has been considered an Asian classic and one of the best love stories in world cinema. Chang Chen and Shu Qi starred in all three films. Shu Qi's impressive performance earned her the "Best Actress" award at the 2005 Golden Horse Film Festival (Taiwan).

"Cape No. 7" is the directorial debut of Wei Te-Sheng, born in 1969. Its outstanding music helped the film win the "Best Original Music" award at the 2008 Golden Horse Film Festival. After winning three awards at the 2008 Taipei Film Festival, the film was widely released and became the second highest-grossing film in Taiwanese box office history with $13.8 million in revenue. Taiwan selected the film as its Oscar contender for "Best Foreign Language Film" that same year.

Released in 2010, "When Love Comes," directed by Chang Tso-Chi, dissects the complex multi-generational family in contemporary Taiwan, highlighting cultural conflicts and generational rifts. The film is deeply rooted in East Asian philosophy and portrays the role of women within Taiwanese families. This low-budget production won "Best Film" at the 2010 Golden Horse Film Festival. All films screened are in their original Chinese, with English and Vietnamese subtitles.
