\"\"Screening | A Letter to A’ma<\/em> (CHEN Hui-Ling, 2021) | 1h 37m<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trailer: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/213338431\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In A Letter to A’ma<\/em>, Taiwanese art teacher\/filmmaker Hui-Ling returns to her childhood home to mourn the passing of her grandmother. As she pieces together the fragmented memories of her youth, she finds herself coming face-to-face with the problematic issue of her country\u2019s fractured history. Through a student art project guided by this teacher that has lasted for over a decade, a representational portrait of the island\u2019s collective memory begins to emerge, initiating a process in which Taiwan, an island-nation forgotten by the world and in the midst of forgetting itself after centuries of colonization and decades of dictatorship, can now remember its past and re-envision its postcolonial identity through art.<\/p>\n

*A Letter to A’ma<\/em> is in Taiwanese Hokkien, Indigenous Taiwanese languages, Mandarin, and Japanese, with English subtitles.<\/p>\n

Filmmaker | CHEN\u00a0Hui-Ling<\/strong><\/p>\n

CHEN Hui-Lin was a high school art teacher before leaving her post to study cinema in France. After studying cinema, she returned to Taiwan and founded the educational project: \u201cThe collective memory of the island\u201d, while filming the documentary A Letter to A\u2019ma. She has collaborated with schools across the country to empower youths in harnessing their creativity through art. The film testifies to the dedication over ten years of this project. In 2018, she received an award from the Ministry of Education in Taiwan for her contribution to arts education for the younger generation.<\/p>\n
