How did Pili International turn the Taiwanese glove puppetry (budaixi) that originated more than a century ago into one of the most popular television programs in Taiwan as well as movies? Their latest budaixi movie, DEMIGOD: The Legend Begins, tells the story of Su Huan-jen, the greatest hero in the Pili series. The film’s master puppeteer will go over the history of the art form as well as its modern integration of virtual effects technology.
