[edit] Bio
Hou Hsiao-hsien (b. 1947, Meixian, China) moved with his parents to Taiwan a year after his birth. He began his film career after completing his studies at the film faculty of Taiwan’s National Art Academy. He began to make a name for himself nternationally back during the 1980s when his films won awards at foreign festivals: The Time to Live and The Time to Die (Critics’ Award at the Berlin IFF 1986), City of Sadness (Golden Lion at the Venice IFF 1989) and The Puppetmaster (Jury Prize at Cannes 1993). He creates loose trilogies treating 20th century Taiwanese history in the form of intimate testimonies and autobiographic reminiscences.
