Director's Profile |
Huang Hui-chen is an activist, documentary filmmaker, and full-time mom. Prior to embarking on her first feature documentary, Hui-chen worked for NGOs such as the Taiwan International Workers’ Association, and the China Time’s Trade Union, advocating for labor rights. It was during this time that Huang began documenting the plight of the disadvantaged and the voiceless. Her intimate profiles of the less fortunate and the exploited became tools for social change. In 2009, Huang was Secretary General of the Taipei Documentary Union. In 2012, The Priestess Walks Alone was awarded Best Pitch, and Best International Potential at the annual CNEX Chinese Documentary Forum. |
