2016 Vancouver International Film Festival presents two Taiwanese films "Road to Mandalay" and "Godspeed"

The 35th edition of the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), which runs from September 29 to October 14, 2016, presents two great Taiwanese films: Midi Z’s "Road to Mandalay" and Chung Mong-hong’s "Godspeed". Taiwanese young talented directors are gaining international attention. These films showcase Taiwanese creative film industry.

"Road to Mandalay", staring Taiwanese actors Kai Ko and Wu Ke-xi, is a story about two young Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand, who leave their home country for a better future. This film has won the FEDEORA Award for Best Film at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival on September 9, 2016.

With black humor and philosophical wisdom, Chung Mong-Hong's road-movie “Godspeed” is a one-of-a-kind film about fate and chance encounters.
