       Yen Cheng is buzzing with its latest hot spot, courtesy of Kaohsiung City Government. The Film Archives, opened November 3rd, treats visitors to a collage of movies, history and memorabilia. The first floor gives an historical overview (in Mandarin); the second includes a screening room and lending library for in-house use only. A film list (Mandarin & English) makes it easy to select choices for personal viewing at the Hall. Hollywood classics, like "Casablanca" and local greats, like "Wang Ge Liou Ge Yo Taiwan" from the 1960s, provide enjoyable entertainment. The library stacks are impressive, boasting film, photography and theater titles and with ample English language reading. Regular free movie showings are offered in the auditorium (3F); please check for schedules. The Hall is user friendly with handicapped access and even infant changing rooms. -- By Karen Schmitt
