Podcast: Car Chases and Curses in Taiwan from Filmmaker Daniel Yen Tu
Taiwanese Australian filmmaker Daniel Yen Tu tells about a new book project and screenplay, '93 Castrol–the fast-paced story of siblings, a stolen race car, and a search for redemption from self-described low-lifery. The discussion contains something even bigger--an emerging artist discovering identity, voice, and a newfound sense of authenticity.
Take a look back at everything the Center accomplished on 2024. With landmark exhibitions, to innovative publications, and performances & events from coast to coast, it was a banner year.
