"Let There Be Light," directed by father-and-son duo Chan, Yu Hua and Chan, Yu Cheng, along with their fellow student Chan, Yu Yu from the Department of Motion Picture at National Taiwan University of the Arts (NTUA), has received accolades at the 57th WorldFest Houston Remi Awards. The documentary offers a heartfelt perspective on the construction of a despised sewage system in Taoyuan, Taiwan, by a local engineering team. It has been recognized with the Best Documentary Gold Award at the 57th WorldFest Houston International Film Festival and has garnered accolades from five other international film festivals in Europe, America, and beyond. Among its achievements are the Best Director Award at the 6th Environmental Film& Screenplay Festival in January 2024, the Spring Exceptional Merit at the 12th Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival 2024, nomination for the 15th Cinema Verde Environmental Film and Arts Festival, and nomination at the 2nd Brussels Capital Film Festival.
The WorldFest Houston International Film Festival, formerly known as the Houston International Film Festival, is hailed as the gateway to the Oscars in the international film and television industry. Established in 1961 in Houston, Texas, it is the oldest independent film festival in the world and is considered one of the three major selective film festivals in North America, alongside the San Francisco and New York Film Festivals. Films by internationally renowned directors such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Ang Lee have been recognized at the WorldFest Houston International Film Festival.
"Let There Be Light" was filmed at the construction site of the Taoyuan sewage system, where the engineering team aimed to break the barriers of public aversion and indifference towards sewage projects. They actively involved local residents in beautifying their alleys and invited a veteran movie billboard painter with over 50 years of experience to create a nostalgic atmosphere for the Nantong alleys. Younger artists adorned the Yangmei alleys with vibrant Hakka cultural elements, blending original local cultural characteristics with a warm human touch. Through the meticulous documentation in "Let There Be Light," viewers have the opportunity to witness the untold stories of countless unsung heroes who have silently contributed to the development of Taiwan.
