Featuring an in-person Q&A with Tsai Ming-liang and Lee Kang-sheng after the screening moderated by Lalitha Gopalan, Associate Professor in the Department of Radio-Television-Film and affiliate faculty in the Department of Asian Studies and South Asia Institute, at the University of Texas at Austin

“A quietly aching stunner from one of our great filmmakers. Gorgeously sensual. With DAYS, Tsai Ming-Liang has made something exquisite and rare: an elegiac, autumnal work that also feels like an artistic breakthrough.”
—Los Angeles Times

“Pure rapture. A full body massage for the soul.”
—Film Comment

“A profound, meditative poem on the human need for connection.”
—Little White Lies

Two men drift through separate cities, bound by solitude — one seeking medical care, the other lost in daily routine. When they finally meet, tenderness and quiet release become their shared language. With meditative beauty, Tsai Ming-liang crafts one of his most intimate, empathetic works, capturing fleeting moments of human connection.
