Introducing Taiwanese Canadian Filmmaker Feyannie Hung
“We can all be different!” is the preface heading of Feyannie Hung’s book that she wrote when she was 18 years old. At the mere age of 15, Fey came all the way from Taiwan to Canada as an exchange student. Ever since then, the two places have become significant in her life. Though she returned to Taiwan after one year of exchange, her dream of becoming a film director eventually brought her back to Canada. Her unique encounters, especially her Taiwanese heritage, continue to motivate her to keep telling inspiring stories on the world stage.
Fey will appear at the Vancouver Taiwanese Film Festival as a guest speaker. This panel is an opportunity for Fey to connect with the younger generation of storytellers, and share her stories working in both the Taiwanese and Canadian film industries. She will also give insights into the impacts of Taiwanese filmmakers on the international scene.
