The 6th Cross-Strait Film Festival kicked off Saturday in Taipei, offering blockbuster and art-house movies from China.
The annual festival will screen seven Chinese films, most of which were newly released this year and have not been previously screened in Taiwan.
The Taiwan-based Cross-Strait Films Exchange Committee is one of the organizers of the festival. This year’s films will include a reality show-based documentary film "Where Are We Going, Dad?"; a romance drama "Beijing Love Story"; and romantic comedies "Ex-Files" and "Up in the Wind.”
The other films are crime thriller "Police Diary," "Forever Young," a film about youth, and "Dancing in the Room," which tells the story of young Chinese leaving their hometowns to work in cities.
The festival will take place in Taipei Huashan 1914 Creative Park, from May 31 through June 4, and at the Kaohsiung Film Archive from June 3-6.
Meanwhile, Taiwanese films will be screened in the Chinese cities of Xiamen, Taizhou and Xinghua from June 13-19.
