Taipei Factory II, co-produced by Taipei Film Commission and Italy’s Rai Cinema, has wrapped in Taipei.
Comprising three shorts directed by Taiwan’s Cho Li, Hou Chi-jan and Hsieh Chun-yi, the project features Italian actors including Margot Sikabonyi (lead actress in Cho Li’s Soap Opera), Marco Foschi (lead actor in Hsieh’s Luca), and Michele Cesari (lead actor in Hou’s The Thrill is Gone).
The project was executive produced by leading Taiwanese producers Lee Lieh and Yeh Jufeng, who attended a press conference in Taipei to introduce the project on May 21. The event was also attended by Chang Chin-oh, deputy mayor of Taipei City; Mario Palma, representative of the Italian Economic, Trade and Cultural Promotion Office in Taipei; and representatives from local sponsors and post-production companies.
The first installment in the Taipei Factory series – directed by Singing Chen, Shen Ko-shang, Midi Z and Chang Jung-chi – was presented at last year’s Directors’ Fortnight...

Allison Keene from The Hollywood Reporter applauds the two-part miniseries describing it as a “rare refreshing take” on Bible-centric specials which usually appear around Easter, even expanding on this to say that “Barabbas should be complimented for the fact that it does a better and more engaging job of exploring faith than History’s recent The Bible series.” Keene adds that the mini-series manages “to be both thought-provoking and at times emotional, doing well at illustrating common skepticisms of Christianity while also showing Barabbas’ own transformation.”
