Gold Leaf: Where to find David

Image
I am sometimes asked where specifically to find appearances of the supporting character I play in Chunyang Lin’s 12-episode dramatic series Gold Leaf  (茶金). Here’s where. Scenes with A T Beaune as David Episode 1 39:00 – 40:39 ‘Good things come with good wine.’ Episode 2        07:55 – 10:00 ‘Is Mr Fu-ji OK?’ Episode 6 45:20 – 46:49 ‘Is this the American Army #6 tea of legend?’ Episode 10    40:00 – 40:29 ‘The World Tea Expo happens every four years.’                               40:30 – 42:19 ‘This is my chief tea master.’                               42:20 – 44:00 ‘I am leaving Jardine.’                               51:42 – 53:29 ‘Our only condition.’    ...

3rd Sub-Tropical Independent Film Festival, Taipei

Image
Taiwan’s lovers of imaginative film who have been eagerly anticipating the next edition of the Sub-Tropical Independent Film Festival need wait only a few days more. The third festival is nearly here: 2025 May 10 Saturday . National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) provides the venue. Once again, planners Barry Hall and Li-Ting Huang have arranged the short films into three programs, with this year’s screenings scheduled at 14:00, 16:00, and 18:50. Check the end of this article for ticket purchase information . As the acronym might imply, STIFF doesn’t mind a few long shadows and a bit of pungency in its off-road explorations of cinematic power. As festival planners describe it, ‘We’re looking for the offbeat, the weird, the experimental, the eccentric, the startling, the uncanny, the inexplicable. We want films that ask more questions than they answer. Films that understand the rules of filmmaking but know when to break them. Quality doesn’t mean formulaic.’ ________ The 2024 STIFF...

A Bride Married to Amazement

Katie on set     Sad news arrived recently. Katie Chingyeh Lee  took leave of this world far too early on June 2.  For many of us in Taiwan’s international film scene, Katie stands forever tied in memory to our first professional experiences in cinema. She cast us in, and advised us through, projects like Ang Lee’s Life of Pi and Martin Scorsese’s Silence . She worked with arts educators to arrange experiences that would help all interested to bring new creations into being. The thoughts of many in Taiwan are with the family now.  Farewell to a fun, serene, inquisitive, and inspirational presence. We will miss you. ________ A reminiscence shared by her sister on behalf of the family: Katie (1980.03.09–2025.06.02) was not easy to define: a daughter, sister, cousin, friend, and artist whose life defied conventions and left an unforgettable mark on everyone she met. She was the most fascinating person many of us have ever known. She was full of energ...
