The AAPI Faculty Initiative gratefully acknowledges Ms. Linda Koo and her brother, Professor David Koo, for making a gift of rare materials from the archive of Chinese-language filmmaker T.F. Mou. The Koo family's investment in Asian American/Pacific Islander Faculty Initiative will allow for UC Santa Cruz faculty and students to gain a greater understanding of this artist, whose work forged connections between Taiwan and mainland China. You can make a gift to support this or other AAPI Faculty Initiatives. After linking to the donation page, please write in the notes section, "For the Koo Family Fund."
