Taipei Factory II (2014) Online
A year after the first Taipei Factory, the Taipei Film Commission teams up with Italy's Rai Cinema on the second installment of the omnibus project. This time, three Taiwan directors - Cho Li (The Rice Bomber), Hou Chi-Jan (When A Wolf Falls in Love With a Sheep) and Hsieh Chun-yi (Apolitical Romance) - each collaborate with an Italian actor on a short film. In Cho's Soap Opera, an Italian woman (Margot Sikabonyi) and a Taiwanese man (Jag Huang) develop a friendship on social media. In Hou's The Thrill is Gone, an Italian vampire (Michele Cesari) takes a trip to Taipei, but forgets something important. In Hsieh's Luca, an Italian man (Marco Foschi) flies to Taipei after his estranged wife dies there.
