Javier Ching-shan Hou, representative of the Office for the Economic and Cultural Promotion of Taipei in Spain, announced on May 9 that Taiwan will be the theme of the 2013 Asian Summer Film Festival, which will take place from July 9 to 14 in the Spanish city of Vic.
During the six-day event, visitors to the festival will not only receive the chance to watch 15 renowned Taiwanese movies, but also have the opportunity to sample quality Taiwanese delicacies and take part in some interactive events.
Taiwan won the honor due to a popular vote by last year’s film festival audiences. Over the past years, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong had each been selected as the theme of the film festival, according to the organizers.
