2025 Taiwan Film Festival in Brisbane and Australian Premiere of Documentary on Prof. Chwei-Liang Chiou
Date: 25 Oct, 2025
Venue: Hoyts Cinemas Sunnybank Plaza
Life's Good, the documentary on Prof. Chwei-Liang Chiou, is to be premiered at the 2025 Taiwan Film Festival in Brisbane.
Directed by Lih-Kuei Chen, this film honours Professor Chwei-Liang Chiou’s legacy and traces his journey from early disillusionment under martial law in Taiwan, to formative years in the United States, and decades of community-based activism in Australia. Through interviews, archival footage, and his own writings, the film explores Cold War exile, the making of diasporic identity, and the small but powerful role of critical thought in shaping transnational Taiwanese democracy. More than a portrait of a single intellectual, the documentary reflects on broader dynamics of cultural resistance, diaspora diplomacy, and the political life of ideas beyond the Taiwan/China binary.
