The New York Asian Film Festival is pleased to present a deliciously chilling aperitif to cap off our successful 20th edition. Starting immediately after NYAFF’s main course, we will serve up a ten-day virtual series of tasty Taiwanese horror films to celebrate the island nation's traditional Ghost Month.
The Taiwan Ghost Month series will start August 23rd and showcase seven standout genre films, available virtually across the United States.
This series showcases a constellation of domestic box-office hits from recent years that have been critically praised for incorporating Taiwanese folklore, Chinese mythology, contemporary social issues and historical tragedies into their succinctly unnerving narratives.
Screenings were held from July 15–31, 2022 at Film at Lincoln Center and Asia Society.
