Dear Somerville arts community,

The Taiwan Film Festival of Boston (TFFB) would like to invite you to a film screening at the Somerville Theatre, this Friday 4/17, 6:30 pm.

We are showing a feature film, "A Foggy Tale" (2025). Set in 1950s Taiwan during the height of martial law, the story follows the road trip adventures of a young woman seeking to bury her brother, who had been executed by the government. It's a story that highlights the decency, resilience, and solidarity of ordinary people and communities, in the face of institutional repression and mistrust.

We hope that this movie will resonate with Somerville's diverse audience and contribute to our rich local arts culture! Tickets and more info (including a really great trailer) can be found at https://www.somervilletheatre.com/production/a-foggy-tale/. The film is subtitled in English and traditional Chinese.

About TFFB: We are a volunteer-run nonprofit that brings Taiwanese films to diverse audiences in Greater Boston. Our 8th annual Film Festival is on Sep 17 - Oct, 20, 2026. We can be found at https://taiwanfilmfest.org and on social media (Facebook, Instagram) at @tffboston.

We hope to see you on Friday!

Best,
