Recognized as the world’s leading television organization dedicated to public service, INPUT, or the International Public Television Screening Conference, annually selects innovative programs produced by public broadcasters for general release. Eleven of those picks will be screened this weekend under the Public Television Service’s annual Best of INPUT event.
The selected works, from nine countries, are grouped into five sections. Highlights include: Something Blue, a mockumentary that follows the interracial marriage between Susan, a nice, middle-class white girl, and the blue-skinned Terry; The Savage Eye, a satirical comedy written by and starring Irish comedian David McSavage that examines why the Irish drink so much; Britain’s Really Disgusting Food: Meat, by Alex Riley, the BBC’s connoisseur of trash food, who unearths the disgusting stories behind meaty snacks; and The Child, the Death and the Truth, a German documentary about the video clip broadcasted by French public television channel, France 2, in 2000, that made 12-year-old Mohammed Al Dura an icon of Palestinian martyrdom after the youth was allegedly killed by Israeli bullets.
The event runs from today through Sunday at Cinema7 (絕色影城), 10F, 52 Hanzhong St, Taipei City (台北市漢中街52號10樓). All screenings are free. For more information, visit 2010bestinput.pts.org.tw.

Sept.16 to Sept. 22 The “anti-communist train” with then-president Chiang Kai-shek’s (蔣介石) face plastered on the engine puffed along the “sugar railway” (糖業鐵路) in May 1955, drawing enthusiastic crowds at 103 stops covering nearly 1,200km. An estimated 1.58 million spectators were treated to propaganda films, plays and received free sugar products. By this time, the state-run Taiwan Sugar Corporation (台糖, Taisugar) had managed to connect the previously separate east-west lines established by Japanese-era sugar factories, allowing the anti-communist train to travel easily from Taichung to Pingtung’s Donggang Township (東港). Last Sunday’s feature (Taiwan in Time: The sugar express) covered the inauguration of the
The corruption cases surrounding former Taipei Mayor and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) head Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) are just one item in the endless cycle of noise and fuss obscuring Taiwan’s deep and urgent structural and social problems. Even the case itself, as James Baron observed in an excellent piece at the Diplomat last week, is only one manifestation of the greater problem of deep-rooted corruption in land development. Last week the government announced a program to permit 25,000 foreign university students, primarily from the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, to work in Taiwan after graduation for 2-4 years. That number is a
In a stark demonstration of how award-winning breakthroughs can come from the most unlikely directions, researchers have won an Ig Nobel prize for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anuses. After a series of tests on mice, rats and pigs, Japanese scientists found the animals absorb oxygen delivered through the rectum, work that underpins a clinical trial to see whether the procedure can treat respiratory failure. The team is among 10 recognized in this year’s Ig Nobel awards (see below for more), the irreverent accolades given for achievements that “first make people laugh, and then make them think.” They are not
This Qing Dynasty trail takes hikers from renowned hot springs in the East Rift Valley, up to the top of the Coastal Mountain Range, and down to the Pacific Short vacations to eastern Taiwan often require choosing between the Rift Valley with its pineapple fields, rice paddies and broader range of amenities, or the less populated coastal route for its ocean scenery. For those who can’t decide, why not try both? The Antong Traversing Trail (安通越嶺道) provides just such an opportunity. Built 149 years ago, the trail linked up these two formerly isolated parts of the island by crossing over the Coastal Mountain Range. After decades of serving as a convenient path for local Amis, Han settlers, missionaries and smugglers, the trail fell into disuse once modern roadways were built
