“Tainan, the oldest city and former capital of Taiwan, plays an important role in the history of Taiwanese arts and culture. Developing into a modern city, Tainan has kept its traditional culture, arts, crafts, and architecture. Its unique cultural and visual assets offer a rich potential backdrop for film productions. In promotion of these the Culture Bureau of Tainan City Government hosts the Tainan 39 Hour Short Film Contestival. The festival’s purpose is to encourage filmmakers to explore and let themselves get inspired by Tainan, to provide them with a platform to interact with other filmmakers, to increase the support for filmmaking in Tainan, and to promote Tainan as a creative center of art, film, and tourism.” http://www.tainan39.com/
