The 2025 Taiwan Film Festival is set to return to the capital on 12–13 December at PVR Priya Cinema, Vasant Vihar, bringing a curated selection of contemporary Taiwanese cinema to Indian audiences.
Organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in India, this year’s edition marks a landmark moment in cultural collaboration between the two countries.
The festival’s highlight is the special screening of Demon Hunters, the first-ever Taiwan–India co-produced feature film. Blending Taiwanese folklore with Indian storytelling elements, the film incorporates classic Bollywood-style dance sequences and serves as a cinematic bridge between the two cultures. The co-production is being hailed as a significant step forward for bilateral cooperation in the arts and the broader creative sector.
The lineup also features two additional Taiwanese films showcasing the diversity of the island’s cinematic landscape. A Chip Odyssey, a documentary exploring the rise of semiconductor giant TSMC, offers a deep dive into Taiwan’s pivotal role in global technology and the international supply chain. Meanwhile, Hunter Brothers, an Indigenous drama, examines themes of identity, tradition, and generational conflict within Taiwan’s Indigenous communities.
Organisers say the festival aims to use cinematic storytelling to strengthen cultural ties and create new channels for exchange between filmmakers, producers, and institutions in Taiwan and India. Over the two-day event, audiences can look forward to an opening ceremony, film screenings, and post-screening discussions with visiting filmmakers and cultural representatives from both countries.
