Sundance Asia: Sean Wang’s ‘Didi’ Opens Film Festival in Taipei
Sundance Asia kicks off its eighth year, with Taiwanese American filmmaker Sean Wang's "Didi" making its Taiwan premiere.
Before Wang’s film (which won the audience award and a special jury prize for its ensemble at the Park City festival) made its Taiwan premiere, the Legacy Taipei played host to the opening ceremony gala. Wang and “Little Death” director Jack Begert went skateboarding on the streets of Taipei at 4 a.m.; others ventured into 7-11 and some relied on Red Bull for an energy boost, while a few chose to catch up on work. Later this week, Variety will moderate a conversation with Chen, Christine Yi (Gold House’s general manager of futures), Bongiovi and director Lloyd Choi, billed “A Filmmaker’s Creative & Financing Journey.” Sundance Asia runs from Aug. 21-25.
