The film, produced by Anthony Chen, secures the TAICCA × CNC Feature Film Grand Award, while 'Reunion Dinner' earns three accolades.
The Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) has concluded with significant wins for several projects, notably the feature film Somewhere In The South, which clinched the prestigious TAICCA × CNC Feature Film Grand Award. This award comes with a cash prize of $35,000 and was presented during the event held in Taipei from November 6-9, 2026.
Written and directed by Tan Ce Ding, Somewhere In The South is produced by Anthony Chen’s Giraffe Pictures, alongside Malaysia’s Evil Genius Studio. The film tells the story of a young man in a quiet Malaysian town who grapples with his identity after being drawn into a political campaign while wearing a tiger costume.
In addition to the top prize, TCCF awarded several other Grand Awards. The TAICCA Series Grand Award went to the French project Saga, produced by BiZ Productions and Elephant Story. The TAICCA × Wētā FX Animation award was claimed by the animated feature Wilderness Of The Greenriver, while the TAICCA Documentary award was awarded to A Day’s Worth, a collaboration between China and Taiwan.
Another highlight of the festival was the horror film Reunion Dinner, directed by Hung Tzu-peng, which received three awards: the MPA Asia Pacific Grand Award, the Videoland Ingenuity Award, and the NAFF Award from the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. The film follows a hearing-impaired high school girl who returns home for Lunar New Year, facing a deadly family curse.
Overall, this year’s TCCF featured a prize pool exceeding $305,000, with various projects from across the region being recognised for their creativity and storytelling. The event also included the signing of a partnership between TAICCA and New Zealand’s Weta FX, aimed at enhancing Taiwan’s capabilities in the content industry.
