Over-Capacity Asian Premiere

On March 17, 2018, documentary In the Name of Confucius kicked off its Taiwan tour with the Asian premiere at Chiayi International Art Doc Film Festival, Chiayi, Taiwan.

The screening was followed by a Q&A panel discussion with director Doris Liu, who flew to Taiwan from Canada, Taipei based journalist and former Canadian intelligence officer Michael J Cole, and Political Science Professor Ming Juzheng from National Taiwan University.

Audience members from all walks of life packed the room, and the organizers had to add some 20 chairs on top of the 120 seats.

As Mr. Huang Mingchuan, artistic director of the film festival, put it “In the Name of Confucius will become a hot topic in Taiwan.”
