The debut of “Love Boat-Taiwan” was held at ArtEmerson Paramount Center on the evening of February 14. The event was organized by Art Emerson and sponsored by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston (TECO-Boston). More than 100 American and Taiwanese guests attended the premiere. Director Valerie Soe traveled from San Francisco to join the event and spoke on the process of formulating ideas and shooting the documentary with audience members after the screening. The documentary features many humorous events that occurred during the annual summer camp for young Taiwanese American and Canadians who traveled to Taiwan to learn more about their heritage. It also demonstrates the soft power of Taiwan to promote a better understanding of Taiwan by the international community. Director Wellington Shih, Director Rose Chen and Ms. Irene Wu attended the screening on behalf of TECO-Boston.
