Eternal Summer
Three high school students experience the perks and pitfalls of love in director Leste Chen's sensitive tale of friendship and yearning.
As a child living in a seaside town in southern Taiwan, studious Jonathan was asked by his concerned teacher to look after rebellious classmate Shane. Ten years later, what was once a good-natured obligation has since blossomed into a warm friendship, with Jonathan still on the academic track and Shane now finding his calling on the basketball court.
Go! Go! G-Boys
Hong and Shin have had a special friendship since childhood. As adults they have drifted only in that Hong holds a menial job and likes girls while Shin is a rock star and likes boys. Hong has now discovered that his self absorbed girlfriend has run up a hefty amount of debt on his credit cards and all the world is after him. In order to raise the money to pay everyone off he enters the G-Boys Beauty Contest. Of course the only problem is that all the entrants have to be gay.

Artemisia
艾草 2008
Love this film from Taiwan. Beautiful portraiture of 58 year old Ai-Chao, a loving mother struggling to cope with her family's affairs. A daughter who had a mixed race child out of wedlock and a gay son. Despite the conflicts, gaps in generations and culture, the bond and love in this family is strong.
