Taiwan 
cinema, 
measured 
by 
the 
size 
of 
its 
domestic 
film

or 
film 
market, 
can 
undoubtedly 
be 
classified 
as 
“cinema 
of 
[a] 
small

(Hjort

2007).

e 
prestige 
it 
enjoys 
internationally, 
however, 
is 
disproportionate 
to 
its 
size 
and 
can 
be 
largely 
attributed 
to 
quartet 
of 
directors 
with 
an 
undisputed 
auteur 
status: 
Hou 
Hsiao-
hsien, 
Edward 
Yang, 
Ang 
Lee, 
and 
Tsai 
Ming-liang. 
Indeed, 
these 
four 
directors 
are 
collectively 
responsible 
for 
almost 
all 
the 
top 
prizes 
that 
Taiwan 
cinema 
has 
won 
at 
the 
three 
most 
prestigious 
international 
film 
festivals 
(Berlin, 
Cannes, 
and 
Venice), 
garnering 
dozen 
awards 
since 
1989.

ese 
international 
successes, 
while 
sometimes 
welcomed 
at 
home, 
have 
also 
attracted 
fair 
amount 
of 
criticism. 
Producing 
films 
that 
are 
considered 
art 
cinema, 
these 
directors 
have 
routinely 
been 
named 
as 
culprits 
for 
the 
decline 
of 
Taiwan’s 
film 
industry 
over 
the 
past 
three 
decades.
