"Hou Hsiao-Hsien: Director's Limited Edition Collection"
1983-1986
Directed by Hou Hsiao-Hsien

Influential Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien is known for his finely textured human dramas that deal with family relationships and address questions of personal and national identity against the backdrop of his native island's turbulent history. This exclusive boxed set collects four of Hsiao-Hsien's films, including The Boys from Fengkuei (1983, 98 mins.), an engaging story about three men from a small island off of Taiwan's coast who move to the mainland for work and excitement; A Summer at Grandpa's (1984, 102 mins.) tells the story of a brother and sister who spend the summer with their grandparents in the country after their mother falls ill; A Time to Live and a Time to Die (1985, 137 mins.) follows a family from southern mainland China who migrate to Taiwan to escape financial hardship and later find themselves unable to return; and Dust in the Wind (1986, 109 mins.) tells the heartbreaking story of a teenaged couple forced to leave school and find work in the city. Mandarin and Taiwanese with English subtitles. 446 minutes.

All films sold by 1-World Festival of Foreign Films are in North American format
