For those who missed the recent hit movie Three (三更) and Three II -- Experiences (三更二), the festival offers a chance to see extended versions of the films' Hong Kong segments. Peter Chan's (陳可辛) Going Home (回家), the 30-minute film that won Leon Lai (黎明) Best Actor at the Golden Horse Film festival, will be screened as special 60-minute version. Fruit Chan's (陳果)Dumplings (餃子) shows what a high price an actress pays for magical dumplings that will help her keep her beauty and win back her husband's heart.

This film has been chosen as the opening film of the festival. For more program information or for English subtitle information, go to www.spot.com.tw.
