On November 18 last year in the French city of Nantes, the 20th anniversary of the Festival des 3 Continents (Three Continents Film Festival) was marked by a gala evening with the title: "A Salute to the Directors." Of the 16 directors invited to the event, two were from Taiwan: Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang.
去年十一月十八日，法國南特「三大洲影展」以「嚮導演致敬」為名，舉行二十周年盛大慶祝晚會，邀請了十六位導演與會，其中台灣就佔了兩席，分別為侯孝賢與蔡明亮。
