Pioneering Filmmaker Liao Hsiang-hsiung Dies
Posted on 2022-04-07 07:36:14
And finally,

Taiwanese director Liao Xiang-xiong has died.

He was 89.

Liao was filmmaker before entering the now defunct Government Information
Office in the mid-1980s.

He initially served as a deputy chief of the agency's visual-audio department
before then heading the agency's film regulator, where he pioneered several
policies that benefited Taiwan's filmmaking industry.

Liao pushed for broader film inspection and rating procedures, and cemented
government funding regulations for filmmakers.

He also tried to make Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards more internationally
inclusive.

During his tenure as a filmmaker, Liao made a number of films, such as the
1971 movie "Love can Forgive and Forget," which garnered him a runner-up
accolade for Best Feature Film at the 10th Golden Horse Awards in 1972.
