Alan Chen, born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, studied filmmaking for his bachelor in Taipei National University of the Arts. There, his graduation short film "Icarus" made his debut and was selected at 2019 Taiwan International Queer Film Festival. After, he went to MetFilm School Berlin for further education in film directing. "Goodbye Taipei" was the graduation short film project carried out by him and his fellow colleagues from MetFilm.
For those who have been straying in a distant land, for those who are apart from their family, and for those who still remember. This film is a song of a wandering man.
