The documentary Road Maker is a special project celebrating the foundation’s 50th anniversary, directed by Tsai Hsuankang, part of the team who won the Golden Horse Best Documentary Award. The film’s interview subjects range from heavyweight cultural figures and artists who participated in the development of the Foundation in its early days, including Celia Hong Chien Chinghui, Huang Chunming, Lin Hwaimin, Jan Hungtze, Kris Yang, Cora Tao and more, through to a newer generation of artists recently supported by the Foundation, such as Chang Tingtong, Cheng Hsienyu and Huang Yi. Through the sharing of stories, the documentary tells the history of the past 50 years, interspersing this with perspectives from members of the Foundation’s next generation, Royce YC Hong and Grace Cheung, who share their vision for the next 50 years of work ahead.

During its two year of filming, the documentary team was able to actively participate in ongoing events at the Foundation. In doing so the team were able to intertwine both old and new memories from different time and space into the film’s narrative. Tracing the personal experiences of those who took part in various collective events, the documentary is able to present multiple aspects of the Foundation’s development over the past five decades.

For the past half century, the Hong Foundation has worked tirelessly to ensure its continuous evolution as a supporter of pioneering ideas and creativity. At first it led the way, phasing out once it had achieved success to allow creators an ecosystem to develop with freedom. In doing so, the Hong Foundation has been able to move forward onto the next road untraveled.
