Competition without Medals-Folk Sports in Taiwan #2

Description

For centuries, on this land called Taiwan, many peoples have built their homes, and many cultures have merged. They have written a glorious record of physical activity, diverse in style and form. In action or stillness, in excitement or tranquility, every move and stance reflects in exquisite detail the tears and laughter of the people as they fight for survival on this land. Today, as athletes of the world compete for the gold, the residents of this island burn with an enthusiasm of their own, fascinated with their own style of sport and recreation. This film captures the many faces of the folk sports practiced throughout Taiwan, and presents a new facet of island's strength and grace. This film won a gold award in the Performance Arts category at 2003 the 36th Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.
