Taiwan’s Golden Horse Film Project Promotion (Fpp) has wrapped with Lee Yi-shan’s debut feature Chewing Gum winning the Grand Prize, which comes with a cash award of $32,000 (TWD1M).
The project is about a young boxer from the lower rungs of society who redefines herself through the struggles of her spiritual journey.
The prize was presented by a three-person jury comprising Taiwanese actor and director Chen Yi-wen; Taipei-based, Hong Kong-born producer Jeffrey Chan and Hong Kong producer and distributor Winnie Tsang.
The three judges praised Chewing Gum for its “wonderful character depictions, including their relationships, attitudes, and various aspects of their lives, which feel absurd but also very real.”

“Chewing Gum” was named winner of the Nt$1 million Grand Prize, the top award at the 2023 Golden Horse Film Project Promotion production event.
Other prizes were awarded for works in progress and for TV series. The winners were announced at a ceremony on Wednesday at the New Horizon Event Space in Taipei, Taiwan.
“Chewing Gum” is the debut feature film of Lee Yi-shan, a previous winner of the Golden Horse Film Award for best short film.
The project portrays a young boxer from the lower rungs of society who redefines herself through the struggles of her spiritual journey. The female protagonist accepts the messed-up lives of the adults around her with a nonchalant attitude, not catering to political correctness but instead being true to herself.

Keening women offer services that are employed in funerals, but do not belong to any religious doctrine, despite their ritualistic form. Keening women need to know the life stories of the deceased so that they can wail wholeheartedly during their ceremony, in a procedure that can also involve other people. Rita Hui bases her movie on one of those women, presenting a film that could be described as an art-house ghost story, but in essence, is so much more.

The aforementioned woman is Cotton, who, during a ceremony in the funeral parlor she works, begins feeling as if her body and her consciousness are separating, particularly after the presence of a spirit named Ling interacts with her. As the two characters form an unusual bond, Cotton’s body and consciousness separate, reaching different identities and leading her to actions that neither her handicapped boyfriend nor hey psychiatrist can explain.
