Taiwanese Business Association of New Zealand has been running the New Zealand Taiwanese Film Festival (“TWFF”) since 2011, and is hoping to show the dynamic and creativity of Taiwanese movies to New Zealand.
As TWFF enters the seventh year, we have seen glorious achievements and encouragement and support from everyone, which is the biggest affirmation to the organisers.
The theme this year is Diversity – Building through culture and trade, and through history, contemporary, national and individual levels. The various generations of Taiwanese movies showcase the values of various times to the audiences. Hence we would like to promote culture through movies and the Film Festival, to achieve increase of exposure of Taiwan to the New Zealand audiences.
