London, Dec. 13 (CNA) The Taiwanese comedy I WeirDO (怪胎) won the best film award Saturday at the 2020 London East Asia Film Festival (LEAFF), the biggest Asian film festival in the United Kingdom.
Written and directed by newcomer Liao Ming-yi (廖明毅), the movie tells the story of two lovers who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It has been touted as the first feature film in Asia shot entirely on an iPhone.
At the awards ceremony Saturday, Liao said he was gratified that the movie had won a major prize and was deeply moved that a physical ceremony could be held, despite the challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
