awards in the Chinese-speaking world, will be held Saturday in Taipei, in which 47 films will compete for titles in 22 categories.
A total of 534 films have been submitted for competition this year, the most ever to enter the competition, and up from 427 last year.
Leading the pack this year is Taiwanese director Chung Mong-hong’s (鍾孟宏) black comedy crime film “Godspeed” (一路順風). It has been nominated in eight categories, including best feature film, best director and best lead actor.
“Godspeed” is about a drug mule who travels across Taiwan to deliver heroin, and a taxi driver who unwittingly becomes the drug dealer’s driver and finds himself caught up in a drug delivery gone wrong. [FULL STORY]
