The acclaimed Michael Fassbender-starring and produced western Slow West is to screen in competition at the Taipei Film Festival, which begins next month.
ScreenDaily.com reports that the festival runs from June 26 to July 18, with Fassbender's film screening with 11 other titles in the International New Talent Competition.
Directed by John Maclean, whom Fassbender previously worked with on the shorts Man on a Motorcycle and Pitch Black Heist, Slow West tells the story of Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who embarks on a quest across the American frontier to be reunited with the woman he loves.
Fassbender plays his mysterious travelling companion, Silas, and the duo are pursued by an outlaw, played by Ben Mendelsohn.
Slow West is the first film to be produced by Fassbender and colleague Conor McCaughan's production company, DMC Film.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Dramatic category at this year's Sundance Film Festival in the US, where it also received its world premiere.
Slow West is due for release on June 26.
