Tsai Ming-liang film season

Silences that speak, bodies that wait, cities that breathe slowly: Tsai’s universe does not seek to entertain, but to hypnotise. With the support of the Ministerio de Cultura de Taiwán and the Oficina Económica y Cultural de Taipéi, this season brings together the essential elements of his work, in a choreography of solitudes, desires and motionless passages.

The filmmaker himself will be in Barcelona, accompanied by his favourite actor Lee Kang-sheng and by Anong Houngheuangsy, the star of Days, the film with which the programme will open. He will also give two masterclasses and present two of his most celebrated short films at Fundació Miró, where he will also take part in a discussion organised by u22.

More than a film season, a sensory experience: an invitation to see with different eyes, to linger in the pause, to listen to the noise of what is left unsaid. Because in Tsai’s cinema, time does not run… it stays.
