The program takes place on November 14 at the Culver Theater in Culver City, California, presenting four award-winning films, one feature and three shorts, with red carpet arrivals and audience Q&As across a half-day celebration.
Closing the day is A Foggy Tale, directed by Chen Yu-Hsun and set in mid-20th century Taiwan.
