"We will also organize art film exhibitions on campus," said Wang, who was named the best actor at the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival. "Theater screens are still replete with commercial productions. Liao and I hope that the center will help young movie enthusiasts to know more about the charm and value of art-house movies."
