Black Realities: The Cinema of Tsai Yang-ming

Tsai Yang-ming, recipient of the 2021 Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award, was a major star of 1950s-60s Taiwanese cinema, appearing in over 150 films before turning to directing. From wuxia to social realism, he pushed commercial film boundaries, overcoming censorship to pioneer Taiwan's pulp films. To mark the publication of A Reunion Some Day: Godfather of Taiwan Black Movie, Tsai Yang-Ming, co-produced by TFAI and Yuan-Liou Publishing, we present Never Too Late to Repent and The First Stitch in tribute to his legacy.
