This year’s Taipei Film Festival has confirmed that it will go ahead as scheduled as a physical event from 25 June to 11 July, but due to Taiwan’s border restrictions in response to the Covid-19 coronavirus, is not likely to have any international guests.

The festival will open with the world premiere of Ko Chen-nien’s debut feature The Silent Forest, and close with Tsai Ming-liang’s Days, which won the Teddy Jury Award at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

All film screenings, side events and the ceremony of the Taipei Film Awards will take place as scheduled, but taking into account the regulations of Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Centre. As international filmmakers cannot currently visit Taiwan, the winners of the International New Talent Competition will be announced online.
