"We can all be different!" is the preface heading of Feyannie Hung’s book that she wrote when she was 18 years old. At the mere age of 15, Fey came all the way from Taiwan to Canada as an exchange student. Ever since then, the two places have become significant in her life. Though she returned to Taiwan after one year of exchange, her dream of becoming a film director eventually brought her back to Canada. Her unique encounters, especially her Taiwanese heritage, continue to motivate her to keep telling inspiring stories on the world stage.Fey will appear at the Vancouver Taiwanese Film Festival as a guest speaker. This panel is an opportunity for Fey to connect with the younger generation of storytellers, and share her stories working in both the Taiwanese and Canadian film industries. She will also give insights into the impacts of Taiwanese filmmakers on the international scene.

「我們可以不㇐樣！」這是洪暐婷在自己 18 歲出版的書中為自序下的標題。15 歲因交換學生的關係，初次離開台灣來到加拿大生活，從此之後台灣與加拿大兩地變成她生命中難以忘懷的牽掛。為期㇐年的留學交換結束回到台灣後的她萬萬沒想到有天會再次回到加拿大，追尋她成為電影導演的夢想。因為她不㇐樣的人生經歷，以及由台灣灌溉滋養的文化背景，讓她至今仍然繼續努力著在「世界說故事」。
溫哥華台灣電影節將邀請洪暐婷導演擔任主講人，除志在向觀眾介紹年輕台裔導演外，也讓其分享人生故事，介紹台灣影人跨國合作的優勢，鼓勵同樣對影視產業有興趣的年輕朋友投入成為說故事的人。
