TSAI Ming-liang
Born in Malaysia in 1957. Emigrated to Taiwan in 1977, and majored in film and theater at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei. Wrote film scripts and also wrote and directed television dramas after graduation, and debuted as a film director in 1992 with “Rebels of the Neon God.” His second film “Vivre L’Amour” (94) won the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion, and his third film “The River” (96) was awarded the Berlin International Film Festival’s Silver Bear. The announcement of a new film has always attracted international attention including his subsequent works: “Hole” (98), “What Time Is It There?” (01), “Good Bye, Dragon Inn” (03), “The Wayward Cloud” (05), and “I Don’t Want To Sleep Alone” (06). Though he declared his retirement from theatrical films following “Stray Dogs”, which screened at Tokyo FILMeX 2013, he is now passionately involved in creating artistic short films (see film note) in museums as well as directing stage productions.
