About the festival:
The Taiwan International Queer Film Festival (TIQFF) was stablished in 2014 and is organized by the Taiwan International Media and Education Association (TIMEA). The festival aims to establish themselves as the premier LGBT film festival in all of Asia. It is important not only to present to the Taiwanese people LGBT films from around the globe, but also to showcase the best Taiwanese queer cinema on the international stage. The organizers believe this will be the start toward a better understanding of the visions of the world.
