Stray Dogs:

With 40 minutes to go in STRAY DOGS, director Tsai Ming-liang takes the most tonally violent turn of his career and the story of a homeless family becomes something far more eerie, tragic, unknowable, and transcendent. Stray Dogs depicted an itinerant family of three. The father lost his job, and his wife left him no longer being able to stand the struggle of poor life. Now the father made money by hoisting signs advertising real estate developments. The son managed the money while the daughter looked for food. This film reveals the emptiness behind the flourishing city.

This screening is made possible from “Spotlight Taiwan” project, collaborated by the Ministry of Culture, Republic of China (Taiwan) , Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles, UCSD, Pacific Arts Movement and generously supported by Dr. Samuel Yin (尹衍樑先生).
