A Foggy Tale (大濛)
Film de Chen Yu-hsun (陳玉勳)
Projection et débat le 12 mai 2026

Au-delà du devoir de mémoire à l’occasion du 19 mai, Journée Mémorial de la Terreur Blanche, c’est avant tout un grand moment de cinéma. Lauréat de 11 nominations aux Golden Horse Awards 2025, il a remporté cinq prix prestigieux, dont Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario original, Meilleure direction artistique et Meilleurs costumes.

Ce long-métrage marque le retour du réalisateur Chen Yu-Hsun après cinq ans d’absence. L’histoire se déroule dans les années 1950, sous la Terreur blanche à Taïwan : une jeune fille, armée de son seul courage, monte seule vers le nord pour récupérer la dépouille de son frère. À travers son périple, nous découvrons les portraits émouvants de gens ordinaires luttant pour la survie et le changement dans une époque trouble (...).

Ce road-movie en pousse-pousse vous fera passer du rire aux larmes, vous offrant une réflexion profonde sur l’histoire et la nature humaine.

Débat : Rencontre et analyse après le film avec Marie Holzman, sinologue, écrivain et journaliste, consacre à la défense des droits de l’homme depuis longtemps.

Soirée organisée par l’association Formose en France.

So the #PRChina government convinced #Zambia n authorities to sabotage #RightsCon2026 - for 2600 f2f participants and 1100 online participants - because PRChina wants to oppress #Taiwan (#RepublicOfChina).

#StreisandEffect ? Sorry #XiJinPing, you can't do that sort of oppression quietly.

Photos Reveal 1946 China's Military Mix

Step back in time to July 7, 1946, when China's military parade in Changchun revealed a fascinating snapshot of its post-war arsenal, showcasing a jarring mix of equipment from different eras side by side. The remarkable photos from that day expose a eclectic lineup, featuring former Japanese tanks marching alongside US-made artillery.

I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.

While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.

It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.

While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.

Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.

Beginning on #ThisDayInHistory in 1949, the defeated nationalist government of #China and its military retreated to #Formosa/#Taiwan, then still recognized as #Japan's territory. #RepublicOfChina long claimed the rest of China and the #ChineseCivilWar has technically never ended.

I see the sign uses Ming Dynasty & Republican-era name for Peking, 北平 (Běipíng = "northern peace") not the Qing Dynasty & People's Republic name of 北京 (Běijīng = "northern capital").

The RoC's capital was not in Peking/Beijing/Beiping but in Nanjing ("Southern Capital") & later in Taipei/Taibei ("Taiwan north").

So maybe this place was founded by someone who fled communism & that reflected in their choice of Chinese name for Peking.
