Tien-Wen Chu, the eldest of the Chu sisters, is not only one of Taiwan’s most important contemporary novelists, but also the longtime screenwriter for acclaimed director Hsiao-hsien Hou.

Giloo Documentary presents five Hou Hsiao-hsien films written by Chu T’ien-wen, inviting you to step into the cinematic worlds they’ve so delicately crafted—their very best of times.
