Event
Taipei 24H (playing with The Fog Genie)
Taipei 24H divides 24 hours in Taipei into 8 segments, giving each segment to a filmmaker to tell a Taipei story. It opens with Cheng Fen-fen's upbeat and comedic Share the Morning, and has Lee Kang-sheng running the final leg of this 'relay' with Remembrance at 4am, with Tsai Ming-liang making a rare screen appearance visiting the final night of a coffee shop. In between, Miao Miao's Cheng Hsiao-tse tells a love story, and DJ Chen's Dream Walker takes a magical ride on Taiwan's subway.
The Fog Genie
On Taiwan island, fog envelops all year round on a mountain named Chilan. Only three days of the year are clear of fog, and moisture left on the trees alone can reach 300 millimeters. This fog stabilizes temperature and humidity in this forest, creating a perfect environment to nurture Asia's precious primal cypress forest.
To unlock the mysterious force behind this fog, prominent female scientist Dr. Yi-ling Lai spends her life in the forest like a genie, reaching through the fog to cypress trees around her, discovering the delicate relationship between fog and the growth of plant lives here. How incredible is mother nature!
