PTS Taigi Channel 7th Anniversary Film Festival

Taiwan's Public Television Service launched its dedicated Taigi-language channel in July 2019, and this July marks its seventh anniversary with a touring film festival that opens at SPOT Huashan in Taipei before moving on to Taichung and Kaohsiung. The programme traces seven decades of Taiwanese-language screen culture, from the golden era of Taigi cinema that began in 1956 through to today's new television dramas, screening classic Taigi films alongside contemporary multi-language features and brand-new Taigi TV productions. The festival is as much an archive as a celebration. Alongside the screenings, an exhibition shares the stories of the crews and actors who kept Taigi-language filmmaking alive through decades when Mandarin-only policies pushed it to the margins - a history that still shapes how Taiwanese television is made today. Free same-day tickets are released for each screening, so arriving early at the SPOT Huashan box office is the best way to secure a seat. SPOT Huashan sits in the Huashan 1914 Creative Park, a ten-minute walk from Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT station. Pair a morning screening with a wander through the creative park's galleries and cafes, or come for an evening show and stay for the night market stalls that pop up in the park on weekends.
