Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival

About

The Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival (TIEFF) is the oldest and longest running festival of its kind in Asia. This year’s festival consists of forty two films from twenty countries, selected by our judges from over one thousand five hundred submissions — sent to us from one hundred and eleven countries. The directors include both established names with international reputations and first time directors making their film festival debut. There is also a remarkable diversity of cinematic approaches on display at this year’s festival, including personal, observational, experimental, reflexive, and sensory styles of ethnographic filmmaking.
