Opening Event and Screening of Old seaman Lomapic

Old seaman Lomapic, produced by Wang Xiaodi with the support of the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture, adapts 10 Taiwanese literary works into dramas.

From Yang Kui's "Paper Delivery Man" to Charmaine Ramboan's "Old seaman Lomapic", it presents Taiwan's growth from 1911 to 2013. Other works include Liu Daren's "Evening Wind and Drizzle", Liao Yuhui's "Later", Zhu Tianwen's "The Gorgeousness of the End of the Century", Ji Ji's "Walking Tree" ", Zhang Huijing's "The Moth", Luo Yijun's "The Twelve Constellations of Birth", Ke Yufen's "The Refrigerator" and Wang Dengyu's "The Elephant".

Past Taiwanese adaptations have largely adopted a realistic route that stuck closely to the original works, but this time the writers of "Reading Time" gave the production team considerable freedom, including Wang Xiaodi, Zheng Wentang, Wang Mingtai, Shen Keshang, An Zheyi, Zheng Youjie, meaning that well-known directors such as, Liao Shihan and Shi Cenyan had ample space to express themselves. Thus, the directors’ own ingenuity and style can be seen in each work, which differs in style and form from every other.

This event runs on the same day as our exhibition to Taiwan Indigenous Literature.
