DFFF is back! After a long hiatus, Dream Flare Film Festival returns to Seattle with a powerful double feature celebrating music, resilience, and cultural identity.📅 Mark your calendar for April 12 and join us for a special evening with two powerful documentaries that tell heartfelt stories of Asian rebellious history, dynamic music, culture, and the timeless influence of Chen Ming-Chang, Taiwan’s Bob Dylan.
🚂 On The Train (2022) – Explores Taiwan’s South-Link Railway and the lives of its workers. Filmed over five years, this documentary captures their stories, spirit and resilience in the face of a vanishing chapter of Taiwan’s history, with Chen Ming-Chang’s music beautifully underscoring their journeys.
🎸 Free Beats: The Musical Journey of Chen Ming-Chang (2023) – Follows the legendary musician’s path from Western rock to revitalizing Taiwan’s folk traditions. Through his music, he bridges cultures and generations, preserving Taiwan’s identity and reflecting the nation’s struggles and spirit.
