Biography
Tsai Ming Liang (b. 1957, Kuching, Malaysia) is a foremost representative of Taiwanese cinema. He made a name for himself with Rebels of the Neon God (Qing shao nian nuo zha, 1992), then cemented his reputation with Vive l'amour (Ai qing wan sui), which picked up the 1994 Golden Lion ex aequo at the Venice IFF. His 1996 picture The River (He liu) took a Silver Bear at the Berlinale, and he scored again at the same festival with The Wayward Cloud (Tian bian yi duo yun, 2005). In 2009 he was approached by the Louvre Museum to make Face (Visage), which competed at Cannes.
His work is regularly presented at the world's most prestigious festivals; KVIFF audiences have seen the majority of his motion pictures, with the director visiting Karlovy Vary in 2001. In 2013 Stray Dogs (Jiao you) was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at Venice. Journey to the West (Xi you) was presented at Berlin in 2014 and screened in the Imagina section at KVIFF 49.
