Wan Jen

Wan Jen was born in 1950 in Taipei. A graduate in foreign languages from Soochow University, he studied cinema in California, where he made two short films, then returned to Taiwan in the early 1980s. In 1983, he directed one of the three episodes of a collective film, with Hou Hsiao-hsien and Zeng Chuang-hsiang, regarded as the birth certificate of the new Taiwanese cinema. His films carry a social and political critique; he has also directed series for public television.
