TRIBUTE to TSAI MING-LIANG
On the occasion of this tribute, his
latest film STRAY DOGS, Silver Lion at
the last Festival of Venise, will be
screened in his presence.
CHOREOGRAPHED SOLITUDE
Emerging onto the scene around a decade after the first
new wave of Taiwanese cinema (embodied by Edward
Yang and Hou Hsiao Hsien), Tsai Ming-Liang’s early films
immediately established an intimate and solitary
universe that is both restrained yet raw, conveyed
through the recurring melancholy, burlesque character
played by the actor Lee Kang-Sheng.
Whether suffering in silence from a mysterious ailment
(THE RIVER), observing his downstairs neighbor through a
hole in the floor (THE HOLE), desperately trying to sell
watches on a bridge (WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?), or simply
riding a scooter through the streets of Taipei, the classical
central figure of Tsai Ming-Liang’s cinema is an almost
mute young man, in the grip of a worldly, profound,
mysterious and enduring sadness. He usually has the
same features (the character’s name is Hsiao Kang; the
actor’s Lee Kang-Sheng), a contemporary Léaud-Doinel
whose progress has been followed from 1992 until today.
Twenty years to embody different variations around the
same character, whose nonchalance, burlesque gait,
daring shyness and taste for obsession was likeable from
the beginning. An alter ego for the filmmaker, renewed
from one film to the next to help him explore his own
inner self and his relationship with the world. A genuine
character’s journey, unique in cinema over so many
years, from a lonely Taiwanese ragamuffin (REBELS OF
THE NEON GOD) to family man (STRAY DOGS) and
Buddhist monk (JOURNEY TO THE WEST, screened in
February 2014 at the Berlin Film Festival).
5
Tsai Ming-Liang was born in 1957 in Malaysia, six years before his country achieved independence,
in the little village of Kuching, which means “the cat” in Malay. That’s where he spent the first 20
years of his life and began attending movie theaters, mainly to see the action movies of the Shaw
Brothers (to whom he paid homage in GOODBYE DRAGON INN, a reference to DRAGON GATE INN
by King Hu). His filmic education continued in Taipei, where he went to study aged 20. It was then
that he discovered the many classics of European and American cinema. After his studies, he
directed several TV films with teenagers, non-professional actors among whom was Lee KangSheng. REBELS OF THE NEON GOD, his first theatrical feature film, laid the esthetic and
topographic foundations of his filmmaking style. Taipei by night or by day; his vibrant
neighborhood of Ximending at dawn or dusk; bedrooms, bathrooms and toilet bowls; taciturn
youths on scooters; a son (Lee) and his parents (played by Lu Hsiao-Ling and Miao Tien, regular
collaborators for the director); rain and flooding (the aquatic leitmotif is recurrent); sex (people
make love a lot in Tsai Ming-Liang’s films); and above all, that particular way of setting up a
temporality, of creating a narrative without seeming to, turning what would usually be called time
standing still into full time, rich with emotions as contradictory as despair or hope. A narrative of
emotions and bodies.
BODIES WHICH TELL A STORY
Tsai Ming-Liang’s films require a great deal of attention. The faces and gestures of the youths, the
choreographed precision with which they move through space, detail their story as much as they
inscribe them in a contemporary melancholy. (In this respect, we could notably cite the
appropriately named VISAGE, which could just as easily have been called BODY.) For a spectator
familiar with Tsai Ming-Liang’s work, an anodyne scene in one film can take on overwhelming
resonance some years later in another. At the start of REBELS OF THE NEON GOD, the father is
eating a tray of fruits on the street with his son. A simple moment, without dialogue. The father
looks at the son, and gives him a few more pieces. This act, quite beautiful in itself, and some
other shared moments between father and son in this debut film, acquire a moving density over
time as we get to know the characters and grow closer to them through the subsequent films
(especially THE RIVER and WHAT TIME IS IT THERE? in which the relationship with the father is in
sharp relief). A bank of emotional memories builds up throughout these films and engenders a
particular attachment in the spectator for these characters.
A Golden Lion in Venice for VIVE L’AMOUR in 1994 put Tsai Ming-Liang among directors to follow,
and above all confirmed the intense elegance of his approach. Once again, in this major film, it is
the actors’ bodies which tell the story, only this time in a more structured way, with the three
main characters indulging in a game of hide-and-seek in an empty apartment. Emotional
relationships are complicated, but sexual relationships simplified.
A MUSICAL RYTHM
The role of intimacy is essential in Tsai Ming-Liang’s films, and is often displayed in a raw, fullfrontal manner, stripping the characters bare in the proper sense (the opening and closing scenes
of THE WAYWARD CLOUD, for example) as well as figuratively (the characters’ recurrent moral
solitude, as it is expressed perhaps rather more radically in THE HOLE through its two main
characters). The end of THE RIVER - arguably one of his most beautiful films, describing an
incestuous father-son relationship - is certainly in this register one of the most powerful
sequences that he has ever shot, as crude as it is discreet. This dramatic highpoint also illustrates
the very musical way Tsai Ming-Liang constructs his films during editing, as if his shots were
6
tectonic plates, calm in appearance, but actually crashing together to end up in an emotional
earthquake.
True, music is present in his films, especially in his obvious homages to popular Chinese songs (the
closing credits of GOODBYE DRAGON INN, the musical numbers in THE HOLE or THE WAYWARD
CLOUD), but the internal lifeblood of his cinema is musical and poetic, as evidenced for example in
WHAT TIME IS IT THERE?, rich with rhymes, ruptures, echoes and choreography.
Over time, Tsai Ming-Liang’s œuvre has developed, adapting to commissions from museums (The
Louvre), schools (Le Fresnoy), or festivals (the Hong Kong Film Festival). It has become fresco,
song, or intimate soap opera. This tribute is the occasion to verify how precious it is to us.

TRIBUTE to HIDEO NAKATA
On the occasion of this tribute, his
latest film MONSTERZ will be screened
as a World Premiere, in his presence.
Born in 1961 in Okayama (Japan), Hideo Nakata
graduated from the University of Tokyo and initially
planned to become an engineer or a journalist. A selftrained filmmaker, he worked on various film sets before
starting his career as an assistant director at Nikkatsu
Studio where he worked for seven years under director
Masaru Konuma. He gained experience directing for
television (GOD’S HAND in 1992 and three short films for
the TV docu-fiction TRUE TERRIFYING STORIES). In 1996,
he made his feature film debut with GHOST ACTRESS
which incorporated many of the supernatural trademark
elements for which he would become best known. With
RING, he emerged as one of the world’s most influential
horror film directors. Based on a trilogy of novels by a
fright-master Suzuki Koji, the film has become the most
successful horror movie in the history of Japanese
cinema. In 2002, RING spawned DreamWorks’ successful
US remake, THE RING. In 1999, the same year he directed
RING 2, Nakata switched gears to direct the crime drama
Chaos.
He thereafter directed SLEEPING BRIDE, the movie
adaptation of Osamu Tezuka’s manga, and tried his hand
at S&M documentary, SADISTIC AND MASOCHISTIC, a
praise to his mentor Konuma Masaru. In 2001, he
directed LAST SCENE, a film shot in video about a mute
cinema actor playing for television. Returning to his roots
in 2002, he directed DARK WATER, based on a novel by
Ring’s Suzuki Koji and which gave way to a remake in
2005 by Walter Salles. In 2004, Nakata made his American
directing debut with DreamWorks’ THE RING 2.
He returned to Japan in 2006 to direct KAIDAN and
remained there to direct L CHANGE THE WORLD a spin-off
of the widely popular Death Note series, which went on
to box-office success in Japan. His latest English language
film, CHATROOM starring Aaron Johnson was selected to
the Un Certain Regard section at the 2010 Festival de
Cannes. The same year, he directed THE INCITE MILL, a
psychological suspense movie based on Honobu
Yonezawa’s bestseller.

In 2012, he returned to his favourite genre, the fantastic, with THE COMPLEX, where a young
woman who just moved in a creepy building is confronted with ghostly spirits.
The Deauville Asian Film Festival features the world premiere of his latest film MONSTERZ, a
remake of Kim Min-suk’s korean film Haunters (2010), to be released in Japan in May 2014.

Lucien Barrière Hôtels et Casinos celebrates
the Deauville Asian Film Festival’s 16th anniversary
We have loyally supported the Deauville Asian Film Festival with the utmost care and
attention every year since it was held for the very first time in 1999. This year is no
exception and from 5th to 9th March 2014, feature films from the Orient will fill the screens,
with South Korea topping the bill.
Our long-standing partnership with the Deauville festival, which comes on top of our
sponsorship of major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, the Deauville American
Film Festival, the Dinard British Film Festival and the César Awards at Fouquet's
restaurant at the Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière in Paris, confirms our commitment to the film
industry.
We back every one of these artistic public events because, since our very beginnings in
1912, we have always wanted to be part of this creative world of film, underpinned by
values of excellence, expertise, sharing, openness and modernity. A further illustration of
our commitment comes with the Diane & Lucien Barrière Foundation which rewards and
promotes start-up directors & producers every year.
The Company started out in Deauville, and our hotels are delighted and proud to welcome
the festival’s participants and jury to Normandy and to celebrate 16 years of curiosity and
discovery.

In the heart of a city open to artistic endeavour, Air France is a partner of the 16 th
Asian Film Festival of Deauville which this year places South Korea in the spotlight.
The film industry in Deauville, the public services and Air France are key partners of this
new major event in 2014. The Company has been supporting this event since its inception
in 1999. This year, South Korea is in the spotlight. In March, among the 25 Asian films on
offer this month, two Korean films will be showing on board the Company’s flights:
-
MR. GO by Kim Yong-hwa
COLD EYES by Jo Ui-seok and Kim Byung-seo
Tailor-made services for Asian customers
To ensure it constantly meets the cultural needs of its Asian customers, Air France offers
customers on its flights to Asia specific products and services.
At the airport, multilingual agents are available to help and provide assistance to
passengers. On board, interpreters are present on flights to South Korea and China.
Japanese flight attendants also make up the cabin crews on flights to and from Japan.
Throughout the flight, the Company offers a wide choice of close to 125 films, some
translated into as many as 9 languages, and a selection of 40 World Cinema films
including works in their original Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Indian language version on
all its routes.
The dining offer is also adapted to the destination such as on flights to India, for example,
where the dishes are designed in partnership with prestigious Indian caterers (Oberoi).
A selection of local newspapers, multilingual entertainment, and creative, international
cuisine are some of the many special attentions which turn the trip into a genuine moment
of pleasure.

For the 2013-2014 winter season, Air France operates 115 weekly flights to 15 Asian
destinations in South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, India and
Singapore.
New services this summer:
-
Starting from 30 March 2014, on departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Air France will operate a
new twice-daily service to Tokyo-Haneda airport, in addition to its flights to Tokyo-Narita.
-
The A380 is coming to Hong Kong. During the summer 2014 season, Air France will serve this
destination with a daily flight, operated at night on the way there and back, thus making it easier for
customers to rest prior to arrival at destination. From 27 May to 8 June 2014, this flight will be
operated by the Airbus A380 (4 weekly frequencies) and by Boeing 777-300 (3 weekly frequencies).
From 9 June to 25 October 2014, this daily frequency will be exclusively operated by Air France’s
largest superjumbo. Hong Kong will be the second Chinese destination served by the A380 after
Shanghai.

Mazda on the big screen at the Deauville
Asian Film Festival
For the second year in a row, Mazda is the official sponsor of the Deauville Asian Film Festival
for its 16th edition.
The genesis of Mazda is closely linked to its homeland due to the historical roots of the brand
in Hiroshima. Mazda's wish is therefore logically to promote far-eastern culture to the French
public, and is involved once again in the festival as a support for its deve lopment.
At Mazda, as elsewhere in Japan, the designer's hand is irreplaceable and his talent is continually
striving for perfection. As with the Festival du Film Asiatique which highlights new talents, Mazda
encourages its engineers to make continuing progress in the optimisation of their know-how. This
results in such leading edge technologies as the SKYACTIV systems as fitted to the new Mazda6,
on show at the Deauville Festival, and which will be used to convey celebrities during the event.

With this partnership, Mazda wishes to promote the values which are an integral part of its
ADN and which are specific to far-eastern culture. Quite simply, the attention to detail and the
importance of the aesthetic approach are also dimensions to which Mazda is particularly
attached for the design of its vehicles.
Twelve Mazda6's will be used for transporting the different celebrities and will be on show at
the Festival.

A few words on Mazda
Mazda Motor Corporation is one of the leading Japanese automobile manufacturers with a production of 1.3
million vehicles per year. The company was founded in 1920 and its Head Office is located in Hiroshima in Japan,
where the company has 3 production plants. Research and Development occupy a large part of operations with 5
dedicated centres across the world. Innovation is at the heart of the company's strategy, which enabled Mazda to
win the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours with a rotary engine vehicle, or, more recently, to develop SKYACTIV

The new Mazda6 The thoroughbred lines of a large saloon
The new Mazda6 incorporates the ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ style which the designers have built into its clean, efficient and
fluid lines.
This saloon has all the advantages of the full range of SKYACTIV Technologies: engines, transmissions, body and chassis; all
of which mean that the new Mazda6 is immediately compatible with the Euro6 standard, without resorting to expensive
polluting particle post-treatment systems (NOx).
As one of the safest and most economical models in the market segment (4.2l/100km and 108g/km CO2 in the 150 ps
SKYACTIV-D 2.2 version with manual transmission), the new Mazda6 incarnates the brand philosophy in its most advanced
form in terms of performance and environmental efficiency.

Born thanks to the Impressionists who used to visit it for its unique light,
Deauville attracts artists that have been seeking inspiration for the past
century. The unique atmosphere of the racetrack and the beach, the
great amount of activities concerning sports and cultural events, an
eclectic architecture and a festive spirit, these are the ingredients that
turn a town into a muse for writers, filmmakers, photographers and
fashion designers. They like to gather there and transcribe their
perceptions with generosity.
Strong by this constant and rewarding relationship, Deauville chose, in
1975, to play an active role in the world of creation. Then Deauville put
its notoriety to serve the cinema – American, then Asian (since 1999) –
which the town promotes and supports with the great success we
know. A promotion turned to the general public for which was created
in 2013 the Public Award, giving an extra chance to the films
presented to be acknowledged.
In the same way, many other cultural events were born in all of the
artistic fields. A strong commitment with now six festivals which:
- Explores the American and Asian cinemas,
- Invites young generations of musicians in residence during the Easter
Festival and Musical August (both classical music festivals)
- Emphasizes the links between literature and music with the Books &
Musics Festival,
- Offers an eclectic program with its Cultural season
- Invites photographers to focus their look on Deauville during the
photo festival Planche(s) Contact

GRAND JURY PRIZE OF THE 70TH VENICE FILM FESTIVAL
A father and his two children wander the margins of modern day Taipei, from
the woods and rivers of the outskirts to the rain streaked streets of the city.
By day the father scrapes out a meager income as a human billboard for
luxury apartments, while his young son and daughter roam the supermarkets
and malls surviving off free food samples. Each night the family takes shelter
in an abandoned building. The father is strangely affected by a hypnotic
mural adorning the wall of this makeshift home. On the day of the father’s
birthday the family is joined by a woman—might she be the key to unlocking
the buried emotions that linger from the past ?

“In 2014, Normandy is hosting the World!”
By Laurent BEAUVAIS, President, Basse-Normandie Regional Council
The Region of Basse-Normandie is delighted to be an official
partner of the Asian Film Festival, which, every year, is a fantastic
opportunity for the region’s population to raise its awareness of a
part of the world we still do not know well enough.
This is an opportunity to broaden one’s cultural horizons, as the
Festival makes it possible to see films that are rarely screened in
France. Added to this is an educational approach aimed at
schoolchildren, who can participate in cinema workshops and
encounters with directors, combined with a determination to be
accessible to young people, in offering attractive rates to 15-25
year-olds, via the regional Cart’@too system, as well as to
students and jobseekers.
It’s an opportunity to broaden economic horizons, too, as the
festival, with the Region’s support, dedicates an entire day to
conferences and round tables on the themes of development and
innovation. In 2013, the focus on China made it possible to
highlight exchanges initiated between Basse-Normandie and the
province of Fujian. This year will be dedicated to South Korea, our
guest of honour. The subject under discussion during this
economic day will be the attractiveness of Basse-Normandie and
its openness on the world in 2014. Indeed, this year will be
exceptionally rich in events for our region. From 23rd August to
7th September, we will be hosting the FEI AlltechTM 2014 World
Equestrian Games in Normandy, the biggest sporting event ever
organised in our region, and the biggest competition organised
on French soil between now and Euro 2016 (UEFA European
Championship for men’s national football teams). We are
expecting 500,000 visitors, 1,000 horsemen and as many horses,
120 journalists and 500 million viewers. Prior to that, BasseNormandie will be paying a vibrant tribute to the veterans of the
Allied Forces who landed on our shores on 6th June 1944 and
who joined battle in Normandy for liberty in France and in
Europe. Conjointly with this 70th Anniversary, the year 2014 will
be a high point for Basse-Normandie within the context of the
candidacy of the D-Day Landing Beaches for registration as a
UNESCO World Heritage site. These beaches, a universal symbol
of peace and reconciliation between former belligerents, transmit
the remembrance of the sacrifice made by those men to future
generations. The Deauville Asian Film Festival develops the same
approach, for the purpose of promoting exchange between our
artists, our entrepreneurs, our researchers, our cultural
stakeholders and the international markets.
Enjoy the festival, everyone, and may it contribute to the
development of Basse-Normandie’s influence as well as to a
deeper understanding of Asian culture!
