Tainan National University of the Arts (TNNUA) once had some of the best documentary filmmakers (students), from 1998-2006. The Department has been destroyed by the worst of Taiwan educational politics, power addiction, professor's ego, misguided academia, and fear of creativity. This is a major loss to Taiwan, truth-seeking, serious filmmaking, and to international audiences, who will forever miss the vital opportunity of experiencing powerful documentaries that matter.
Among the superb and good documentarians from TNNUA, 1998-2006:
Chang Chao-Tang, Wu Yi-feng, Lin Hsin-yi; Cheng Hsiang-yuen, Lai Yung-jung, Chen Bin-chuan, Tseng Chi-hsien, Hsu Hui-ju, Chang Kwon-chung, Xie Ming-gui, Hung Chun-hsiu, Lee Ren-da, Huang Chuen-man, Bauki Anao, Chiang Mei-ju, Wang Ying-Shuen tse, Wu Yao-tung, Chen Chung-yui, Tsai Yi-feng, Huang Hsin-yao, Lee Meng-jer, Wan Pei-chyi, Lin Jing-ping, Lee Chia-hua, Hsieh Tzu-ping, Hsueh Chang-hue, Huang Lu-huang, Yang Li-hsiao, Chen Hsin-fan, Ching Cheng-fen, Tsun Wen-chen, Lin Chien-chiang, Wu Ching-yi, Ko Neng-yuan, Lin Wen-huang, Cheng Hue-ling, Zhuang Yi-zeng, Shur Bo-hsien, Hsiu Fu-mei, Guan Ling, Shih Ho-feng, Liou Jia-kwai, Li Hsiao-wan, Kuo Hsu-ting, Su Yen-chang, Li Jing-pei, Wang Meng-chiao, Wang Tien-lun, Tse-wei, Wu Chun-hsien, Lin Hao-shen, Hsu Li-san, Lin Chih Chan, Lu Hsiao-wen, Lee Yi-lin, Huang Ming-tsen, Wu Li-yen, Hu Hsiang-mei, Lin Chi-shou, Lin Wen-huang, Chen Mei-ling, Liu, Meng-fen, Tsai Ming-shan, Tsai Hsing-lung, Chi Yueh-chun, Li Ren-yung, Huang Shih-chia, Li Shih-wan, Hsiao Hsu-yi, Chang çheng-wei, Wang Chia-ling, Yang Su-wei, Guo Tang, Lee Wei-ming, Li Herng-ching, Chiang Wei-hua, Lin Shi-hong, Huang Xiu-yi, Lu Yi-jui, Yang Ren-tzou, Chen Yui-hsin, Lin Yi-guan.

This is not just a list of faceless names....These are mostly young creators with the vision to make art, reveal truth, document lives, and help Taiwan change in positive ways. The loss of their filmmaking home is a needless human, artistic, and communicative tragedy.

My blog is for vulnerable communication from my heart, mind, and spirit, meant to touch readers who are passionate about creativity, art, life, and cultures.... Nastiness and personal attack are expressions of bitterness, not meaningful communication. The internet drowns in negativity, but not this site....Thoughtful criticism, however, is not negative, but an affirmation of ideals, hopes, and caring. Positive comments are more useful if they are not meant for my ego, but to share compassion and love....Thanks for reading, feeling, and sharing.
