向來多元包容的金馬創投會議，今年除了新增劇集項目，也持續提供電影媒合最佳平台。今年有超過200件電影企劃報名，競爭激烈，最終共有27件入選。其中22件為全新企劃，5件為已進入拍攝但仍在尋找後製資金或其他合作的企劃。金馬影后李心潔、金鐘視后林依晨擔任監製的企劃都雀屏中選。香港、馬來西亞以及多部跨國合作，受注目的程度也不下精銳盡出的台灣影壇。
香港共有3個企劃入選。黃修平的《狂舞派3》才榮膺本屆金馬影展閉幕片，成名作《狂舞派》亦是金馬創投入選作品，這次新企劃《85分貝》是以聾人為主角。憑《淪落人》榮獲香港金像獎的陳小娟，這次以《虎毒不》刻劃想成為「好媽媽」卻扭曲變態的女性心境。多次獲金像獎提名的陸以心，則用嗅覺帶出《戀愛氣味地圖》。

周美豫的《失明》不遑多讓，也請來林依晨首次擔任製片。《深度安靜》可望成為沈可尚首部劇情長片，並由瞿友寧擔任監製。曾獲金馬獎最佳美術及造型獎的黃文英，將首度擔任導演拍攝《車頂上的玄天上帝》。金鐘獎最佳導演林君陽與《返校》監製李耀華共同打造《煞塵爆》。金馬獎得主程偉豪監製、殷振豪執導的《瘋子蝦夫》則安排主角跑到北韓教他們養龍蝦。
《美國X檔案》、《人間師格》導演東尼凱亞將與台灣團隊攜手拍攝《心靈口罩》。日、台、美合作、蔦哲一朗導演的《黑之牛》監製是曾任北野武、侯孝賢幕後推手的市山尚三。《誰是被害者》導演莊絢維的《打掃阿姨》則是台英合製的殺手動作片。曾以《後勁：王建民》入圍金馬獎的陳惟揚，最新企劃《楊傳廣和強森的 「雙人聯合國」》要揭開奧運傳奇不為人知的故事。
值得關注的新銳企劃，包括鄭雅之的《雙重失格》；賴孟傑的《地下弒》；黃艾倫、黃駿傑《阿嬷的奇幻冒險》；林涵的《碧綠》；賴俊羽的《樹靈》。連俊傑的《拾憶男孩》則是唯一入選的動畫。
為拍攝及後製中電影提供媒合的WIP企劃，過去三屆已有《下半場》、《灼人秘密》、《菠蘿蜜》、《無聲》、《大餓》、《惡之畫》、《怪胎》、《迷走廣州》、《刻在你心底的名字》等片問世，成果斐然。本屆入選企劃包括姚宏易與舞蹈家許芳宜合作的《我心我行》；荷蘭導演王洪飛在台灣拍的吸血鬼電影《狂歡時刻》；新生代導演王君弘的《幻日手記》；詹凱迪執導的《兜兜風》；以及擅長海底攝影的袁緒虎《東經北緯》。

27 Film Projects Squeeze into the Lineup of FPP Award-winning actresses LEE Sin-je and Ariel LIN Give Producing Debut
On top of the addition of Series projects this year, the always diverse and inclusive Golden Horse Film Project Promotion (FPP) continues to offer the best matching platform to film projects. The competition was again intense this year, with over 200 film project submissions. In the end, a total of 27 projects were selected, of which 22 are brand new projects and 5 have already begun shooting and are looking for post-production funding or other collaboration opportunities. Notably, project submissions being produced by Golden Horse Awards-winning actress LEE Sin-je and Golden Bell Awards-winning actress Ariel LIN both made the final cut. The level of attention garnered by projects from Hong Kong, Malaysia, and many international co-productions has also been just as impressive as that of those from Taiwan.
Hong Kong acquired a total of 3 project selections. Director Adam WONG Sau-ping rose to fame with The Way We Dance, a former selection of the Golden Horse FPP, while its sequel, The Way We Keep Dancing, was recently chosen as the closing film of this year’s Golden Horse Film Festival. His selected FPP project this time is 85 db , a tale with a deaf protagonist. Oliver CHAN Siu-kuen, who took home the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Director for Still Human, is directing the new project Her Lullaby , which portrays how the desire to be a “good mother” can become twisted and perverse. Meanwhile, multiple Hong Kong Film Awards nominee LUK Yee-sum will be directing the smell-centric project, Scent of Love .
Four of the Selected Projects feature Malaysian filmmakers. Edmund YEO, a former Best Director winner at the Tokyo International Film Festival, will be directing the fantastical Ravenous Maidens of the South Seas , a tale of Asian explorers. LAU Kek-huat, who earned two nominations at last year’s Golden Horse Awards, returns with Were Tiger , an exploration of how ethnicity and social class can test true friendship. CHONG Keat-sun’s Snow in Midsummer tackles an extremely sensitive subject in Malaysian history — the 13 May Incident. And director Jin ONG, who previously won the Golden Horse FPP Grand Prize for Shuttle Life, will direct ABang ADik , which will be produced by Golden Horse Best Actress winner LEE Sin-je.
Not to be outdone, CHOU Mei-yu’s The Blind Love has invited star actress Ariel LIN, who will be making her producing debut. On the other hand, SHEN Ko-shang hopes to make his feature directorial debut with Deep Quiet Room , set to be produced by CHU Yu-ning. Additionally, HWARNG Wern-ying, a former winner of the Golden Horse Awards for Best Makeup and Costume Design, will be making her directorial debut with Be with Me . Golden Bell Awards Best Director winner LIN Chun-yang and Detention producer Aileen LI will be joining forces to co-direct SARStorm . Fellow Golden Horse Awards winner CHEN Wei-hao will produce and YIN Chen-hao will direct Call of Lobster , in which the protagonist ventures to North Korea to teach lobster farming.
In terms of international co-productions, American History X and Detachment director Tony KAYE will be teaming up with a Taiwanese team to make the feature film Masks . Japanese director TSUTA Tetsuichiro’s new project is the Japan-Taiwan-US co-production Black Cattle , produced by ICHIYAMA Shozo, who has worked with Japanese filmmaker KITANO Takeshi and Taiwanese auteur HOU Hsiao-hsien. David CHUANG, director of the series The Victim’s Game, will be at the helm of Housekeeper , an action-thriller co-produced by Taiwan and the UK. And Frank W. CHEN, who earned a Golden Horse Awards nomination for Late Life: The Chien-ming Wang Story, will be directing his newest sports documentary, C.K. and Rafer: The Two Man United Nations , which aims to unveil the untold stories of the Olympic legend.
Projects from cutting-edge new directors include CHENG Ya-chih’s I’m Sorry ; LAI Meng-jie’s Low-End ; HUANG Ai-lun and HUANG Jun-jie’s Wild Grandma ; LIN Han’s Wild Green ; LAI Chun-yu’s The Spirits of Trees ; and LIEN Chun-chien’s Time in a Bottle , the only animation project selected this year.
Many of the Selected Projects from the last three editions of the Work-in-Progress (WIP) section of the Golden Horse FPP, which offers a matching platform for projects in production or in post-production, have already been released to great results, including We Are Champions, Nina Wu, Boluomi, The Silent Forest, Heavy Craving, The Painting of Evil, i WEiRDO, Mickey on the Road, and Your Name Engraved Herein. This year’s WIP selections include Salute , directed YAO Hung-i in collaboration with dancer SHEU Fang-yi; Dutch director David VERBEEK’s vampire film Dead & Beautiful , which was shot in Taiwan; new-generation director WANG Chun-hong’s Far Away Eyes ; ZHAN Kai-di’s RAYDIO ; and underwater filming expert YUAN Hsu-hu’s Blood of the Blue .
These 27 film projects, plus the previously announced 13 Series projects, make up the 40 total projects selected for the 2020 Golden Horse FPP. The official meetings are set to be held in Taipei from November 16 to November 18, with the list of prize winners to be announced on November 18.
