The Indigenous Film Academy of Taiwan is the first educational institution in Asia dedicated to supporting and nurturing Indigenous filmmakers. It has a clear mission: to connect Indigenous film producers across different communities, amplify stories of Indigenous peoples, and foster the exchange of diverse perspectives in filmmaking.
The earliest Han settlers of what is now Dalongdong, Taipei came from Tong'an County in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. In 1807, merchant Chen Xun-yan, under the trading name Yueji, built the Chen Yueji Residence. With Chen's business having accumulated substantial wealth, his family became one of the predominant clans of Dalongdong.
