On July 1 - 2, 2016, the ERCCT hosted the eleventh Taiwan Documentary Film Festival, this time focusing on important Taiwanese political and social leaders, showing documentaries on former president Lee Teng-hui and revolutionary Su Beng, or oppositional activist and political "martyr" Nylon Cheng. More recent political issues, as that of national identity and civil rights infringements during the visit of the China's Chen Yun-lin (ARATS) to Taiwan in November 2008. Moreover, films on the environmental movement, and the loss of home due to nature (Kouhu Township in Yunlin County) or to military takeover (Kueishan Island off the coast of Yilan) had their place in the festival. 

Six of seven entries were directed by our special guests Chen Lih-Kuei and Lee Yung-Chuan, and some vibrant discussions unfolded with them. On Friday night, the fiction film "Parking" by Chung Mong-Hong was also shown to round off the first day.
