Director Shuhei
Fujita's debute QUIET SUMMER tells a story of a young man raised
in Japan, who comes to Taiwan to bury the ashes of his mother and
finds his Taiwanese background. His travel quietly unfolds the happiness
and sadness of a middle-aged Filipino worker and an old Chinese
teacher living alone in a poor and single veteran community. QUIET
SUMMER is a narrative film but strongly reflects the personal experiences
and backgrounds of the director and actors in the society of Taiwan.
Quiet summer has been screened at Philadelphia Film Festival(U.S.A),
Pusan International Film Festival(Korea), FAJR International Film
Festival(Iran) and Cinema Jove International Film Festival(Spain). |
