Film Screening: Long Time No Sea

In collaboration with Asian Pop Up Cinema, we present Long Time No Sea. Director Heather Tsui’s debut film “Long Time No Sea” dives into the microcosm of a young Tao boy, Manawei (Chung Chia-chun), and his simple, yet impoverished life as he is raised by his grandmother on Orchid Island. Like many of his other peers, Manawei’s father works in Taiwan and he doesn’t get to see his father often. Manawei’s Taiwanese school teacher (Shang He-huang) decide to enroll his class in the National Aboriginal Dance Competition in Taiwan, where Manawei will have an opportunity to see his father again.
