"Last year, it felt like the Taiwan movie industry was starting to make a comeback." He gave a few examples: Tsai Ming-liang and Chang Tso-chih were both involved in promoting their newest films: What Time is it There and The Best of Times. For the Taipei Film House, Hou Hsiao-hsien built an 88-seat SPOT mini-theatre so that short films and documentaries finally have a channel to reach an audience.
「去年台灣電影圈讓我感覺有種企圖心竄起來，」他舉例說，蔡明亮、張作驥都親自「下海」宣傳他們的作品《你那邊幾點》和《美麗時光》，侯孝賢也在「台北之家」打造出一個有八十八個座位的「光點台北」小型放映室，讓短片、紀錄片終於有個能和觀眾溝通的放映管道。
