The creation of good films and TV dramas is intimately related to a country’s training of talent, business environment, regulatory system, and protection of intellectual property rights. The winners of the 2022 Golden Bell Awards included the period dramas “Gold Leaf and Seqalu: Formosa 1867,” the family comedy “The Making of an Ordinary Woman 2,” and the crime thriller “Danger Zone,” as well as the fantasy “Twisted Strings” and the workplace drama “Tears on Fire.” With the rise of streaming services in recent years, Taiwanese dramatic productions have grown increasingly diverse and have gained a new vitality.
Our Cover Story this month looks at the evolution of dramatic productions over the past 40 years, government policy support for film and TV, the training of screenwriting talent, and efforts to leverage the commercial value of original content. In this way, we hope to help readers understand the progress of screen drama in Taiwan today, including:
