Early life and education

[edit]

Fu Yue was born to a Malaysian Chinese father and an Indonesian Chinese mother.[1] She enrolled at National Chengchi University within the Department of Radio and Television.[2][3] In 2008, Fu earned a master's degree from the Graduate Institute of Sound and Image Studies of the Tainan National University of the Arts.[2][3] She completed the film Mirror!, in which her parents discussed politics in Taiwan with another couple supportive of the Democratic Progressive Party, to finish her degree.[4]

Career

[edit]

In 2012, Fu produced the political documentary, Dialogue Between Blue & Green.[4] In 2015, Fu contributed the segment A Commander Made By Accident, which covered activist Chen Wei-ting [zh], to the anthology film Sunflower Occupation.[5][6]

Fu directed the documentary film Our Youth in Taiwan, about the events of the Sunflower Student Movement.[7] The film won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary at the 55th Golden Horse Awards.[8][9] During Fu's acceptance speech, she said "I really hope that one day, our country can be treated as a truly independent entity ... This is my greatest wish as a Taiwanese."[10] Following this reference to the political status of Taiwan, Chinese broadcasts of the award ceremony were censored,[11][12] and Fu's work was removed from listed award winners on several Chinese film databases.[13] Fu defended her comments in a subsequent post to Facebook: "You can’t avoid the topic by simply saying, ‘Let politics be politics; let art be art’... As a director, I had to speak up for my work... I didn't make my remarks 'on an impulse,' or 'instigated by the DPP government' as suggested by some Chinese netizens. I said what I had always wanted to say about the film. I am willing to accept whatever consequence brought to my career in the future."[14][15][16]
