等等主義研究社(UBC Literature Etc. Club, UBCLE)策辦的台灣電影節(Taiwanese Film Festival, TWFF)最先是被資深影展策展人王耿瑜小姐所激發出的一個構想，當時她受邀主持2004年的電影月講座，暢談電影與影展的魅力；不論是畫面上、音樂上、 還是感情上的不同詮釋，每個影展所選擇的影片組合都能呈現給觀眾一個不同的多元感受。2006年9月，導演鄭有傑在《一年之初》的觀後講座談起他期望經由 電影激勵人心的理想，並重新燃起UBCLE策劃影展的熱情。身為一個以結合生活與文藝為目標的學生社團，UBCLE希望創辦推廣電影藝術的非營利活動，讓 更多的學生觀眾也能對電影產生當初UBCLE所經歷的共鳴和感動。
The Taiwanese Film Festival (TWFF) was first inspired through Ms. Angelika Wang, who introduced the essence of films and film festivals at UBCLE's film seminar at during the 2004 Vancouver International Film Festival. An organizer of numerous film festivals herself, Angelika believed that there was something magical about films; the visual, musical, perceptual, and emotional components of films selected to create a film festival can be extremely inspirational. In September 2006, Mr. Yu-Chieh Cheng, director of the film "Do Over", spoke of his personal experiences at UBCLE's film seminar, describing his passion and determination to inspire lives through film. As a non-profit student club dedicated to promoting arts and literature, UBCLE executives desired to impact the student audience with a series of films that they would be able to relate to, feel inspired by, and learn from.
溫 哥華曾舉辦無數成功的影展，卻從來沒有一個著重於台灣電影的影展。我們希望能經由TWFF讓溫哥華的華裔與非華裔觀眾群都能更加認識台灣文化和台灣近年電 影的嶄新生命力。因此UBCLE隆重推出第一屆台灣電影節，誠摯邀請您蒞臨UBC Norm Theatre參與欣賞。TWFF此次的影展主題為「21世紀新銳導演．開麥拉環島全紀行」，於4月6至8日期間總共播放6部得獎影片，期望透過近年來嶄 露頭角的新銳導演，深入台灣各城鎮：從《一年之初》的拍攝地點台北，一路遨遊到《無米樂》的台南米鄉，以多元的觀點展現出台灣不同的風貌。
Vancouver has had many successful film festivals, but never one exclusively on Taiwan. With a large proportion of BC's residents being ethnically Chinese, Taiwan's culture is one that many would identify with. We sincerely hope that the both Taiwanese and non-Taiwanese student audiences in the Western world will gain a better understanding of the Taiwanese culture through a Taiwanese film festival. On this note, UBCLE cordially invites you to the TWFF, held at UBC's Norm Theatre, featuring six award-winning films and documentaries from emerging directors of the 21st century that have revolutionized Taiwan's film industry. Each story is set at a distinct location, be it a large city like Taipei or a rural farm in Tainan, accenting Taiwan’s inherent culture and beauty; together, the films form a rich and diverse cultural exploration representative of the whole of Taiwan.
經 過數月的漫長會議和策劃，並藉由UBCLE幹部們、范琪偉小姐、台北經濟文化辦事處、和UBC電影協會不斷給予的支持，TWFF終於不再只是一個純粹的構 想，而是一個呈現在溫哥華觀眾眼前的真實影展。我們的宗旨在於創造藝術文化交流的空間－TWFF是一個出發點，為了啟發未來更多的影展與各種美好的可能 性。
TWFF has finally become a reality after months of grueling work, endless meeting hours, unwavering dedication from UBCLE's executives and assistants, and generous support from Rachel Fan, the Taipei Cultural and Economic Office, and the UBC Film Society. TWFF is the pilot project of many more film festivals to come. The ultimate goal is to inspire artistic and cultural interactions between the films and the audience, and UBCLE is ready to make that happen.
