Watch Films Shot in Kaohsiung
Starting from 2001, the Kaohsiung City Government held the first "Kaohsiung Film Festival", prepared to establish the "Kaohsiung Film Archive", and made guidelines for accommodation and film-making subsidies. Kaohsiung City Government wanted not only to boost the development of the local film industry but also to stimulate the economy and build industry clusters. In 2009, the Film-making Assistance Center was officially established. With its single-window system, the Film-making Assistance Center has attracted and helped many film crews to shoot films in Kaohsiung and successfully promote the city as a film-friendly city.
After the merger of Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County, the vast expanse of land, diverse natural landscapes as well as attractions in Greater Kaohsiung offer film crews abundant location choices. The Film-making Assistance Center was enlarged into "The Film Development and Production Center." Also, the Kaohsiung City Government attempted to participate in the process of film-making by playing a role as an investor.
We work with the Kaohsiung Film Archive to invest in feature films and TV series during the planning and production stage. Like all the investors, we take investment returns according to the investment ratios. Foreign filmmakers seeking to apply for this investment must cooperate with a licensed Taiwan film production company.
In the past years, "Kaohsiung Film Fund" has bred many wonderful films, such as movies including "KANO", "Black & White", "GF‧BF", "Where the Wind Settles", "Zinnia Flower", "White Lies, Black Lies", "To the Fore", "All Because of Love", "Who Killed Cock Robin", "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful", "Territory of Love", "Detention", "Listen before you sing", "Incantation", "Coo-Coo 043", and TV series including "A touch of Green", "Long Day’s Journey into Light", "The Best of Youth", " Wake Up", "First Note of Love", "Hotel Saltwater", "Three Tears in Borneo", etc. All showcase the varied beauty of Kaohsiung and are beloved by Taiwanese audiences.
With investment in movie-shooting, accommodation subsidies, a professional shooting assistant team, single-window system, Kaohsiung has transformed successfully from an industrial city to a rising international film-friendly city. Kaohsiung has not only become a major film studio open to the world but also encouraged the production of VR films. With the combination of our professional service and the latest VR technology, more outstanding film crews will fulfill their dreams and take root here. We will witness the brilliance that Kaohsiung City radiates in all kinds of films.
