‘Stranger Eyes’ Director Yeo Siew Hua On How Surveillance Impacted His Mystery Thriller — Venice


With 'Stranger Eyes,' Singaporean director Yeo Siew Hua will make history again as the first Singaporean film to compete at the Venice Film Festival.

The Singapore- Taiwan-France-U.S. co-production stars a Taiwanese ensemble cast featuring legendary actor-director Lee Kang-Sheng, Wu Chien-Ho, Annica Panna and Vera Chen. Yeo conceived the Stranger Eyes project more than 10 years ago but he and Akanga Film Asia’s veteran producer Fran Borgia hit several “dead ends” with funding. With TAICCA’s support, Yeo also managed to cast several top Taiwanese actors in Stranger Eyes, including Lee Kang-sheng, a mainstay in Tsai Ming-liang’s oeuvre of films for over 30 years.
