The National Museum of Singapore Cinémathèque will be reminiscing about one of Taiwan’s finest cinematic exports, Edward Yang, with a comprehensive look back at the great director’s work. For those who don’t know, Edward Yang has been at the forefront of New Taiwan Cinema in the ’80s and is best loved for helming absolute masterpieces such as A Brighter Summer Day, The Terrorizer, Mahjong and That Day on the Beach (his debut that kind of kick-started the Taiwanese New Wave in 1983).

The retrospective will be screening all his completed works along with fragments of his last filmic endeavor, The Wind (an animated project with Jackie Chan that was cut short by his untimely death), as well as the premiere of a new documentary specially commissioned for this occasion, which features never-been-shown footage of Yang directing his last film, Yi Yi. A few of his trusted collaborators from both his film career and private life such as Hsiao Yeh and Hung Hung will also be on hand for insightful dialogue sessions discussing their memories of him and his legacy.

In His Time: The Films of Edward Yang takes place from March 2-13 at The National Museum of Singapore. Full schedule and ticketing information can be found at http://www.nationalmuseum.sg/FilmDetail.aspx?id=60
