Zero Chou

Zero Chou is a Taiwanese lesbian filmmaker known for Spider Lilies (Ci qing, 2007), a delicate, visually lyrical film about the reunion of two young women whose childhood connection deepens into love, and Drifting Flowers (Piao lang qing chun, 2008), which follows three stories about lesbian love across different generations. Her films are notable for their tender, unhurried depictions of queer women's desire in a Taiwanese context and have been celebrated at LGBTQ+ film festivals internationally. She is one of the most significant lesbian filmmakers working in East Asian cinema.
