DO
OVER ( Yi Nian Zhi Chu ) Dir.
Cheng Yu-Chieh
Taiwan
2006 | 113min | Narrative
Set
over 24 hours on New Year’s Eve, DO OVER follows five
characters who hold disparate jobs from a film PA to a mafia
boss. But as their stories unfold, we see how seemingly
disconnected lives intersect by way of fate and authorial
forces. Superb cinematography and an unusual temporal
structure create a palpable world in Taipei that’s full of
mysteries and possibilities. Sunday July 22 | 11:30AM |

SUMMER ( Sheng Xia Guang Nian ) Dir.
Leste Chen Taiwan
2006 | 96min | Narrative Childhood
friends Jonathan and Shane love each other with a passion, but
is there something more to it? The second feature of rising
Taiwanese filmmaker Leste Chan’s is a handsome, eloquent
elegy to that possibility. It is rich of seasons, lived by a
quirky pair of best friends and a girl who challenges their
order. Sat July 28 | 2:30PM | http://www.aaiff.org/2007/films/film_detail.php?i=132 The
