Taipei Film Festival initially invited Mainland director Wang Xiaoshuai to serve as the jury chair for the 'International New Director Competition,' but controversy arose due to his past involvement in a dispute with the late director Hu Bo over their film 'An Elephant Sitting Still,' leading to questions regarding his suitability for the role. As a result, Taipei Film Festival announced the cancellation of Wang's invitation and stated that they will find a replacement. The festival emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism and international standards in selecting jury members for the competition.
