Today, my guest is Ian Lin who is the President of the Vancouver Taiwanese Film Festival (TWFF). The festival is an annual non-profit arts and cultures initiative that started in 2007. It has been well-received by Vancouverites, and over the years, has become the largest film festival focusing on Taiwanese cinema in North America.

On the show today, Ian talks about the origins of the festival, explains the importance of film in Taiwanese culture and shares who he thinks are the rising stars in Vancouver’s Taiwanese film community.
