“Mirror” – Directed by: Wu De Chuen
“The Mirror” is the story of three men from different generations of the same family. They live in different eras and have completely different jobs – as an engraver, a tailor and a merchant. But their lives are strangely similar. They share the same ambition to reach the definition of human being, but at the same time, they each take significant others for granted and undermine their own values, thus retracing the paths of their ancestors.

“Parents’ Videos” – Directed by: Babu Liao
Taiwan may be one of the most liberal societies in Asia today, particularly with regard to gay rights and was the first territory in the region to legalize same-sex marriage. But there was a time when gays on the island struggled for acceptance. “Father’s Videos” give a nod to this forgotten past of Taiwan’s LGBT community with a three-part narrative that inserts audiences between real space and virtual reality, through physical interaction.

“Somewhere Unknown Indochina” – Directors: Asio Liu Chihsiung and Feng-ting Tsou
Dung, Lien and Phuong are three Vietnamese siblings who were born in Cambodia during the 1970s war period in Indochina. Their mystery, told through the dream of an unidentified victim, sets the stage for this virtual reality work that reveals the “untold truth” of an unknown Vietnamese refugee camp in Pinghu, Taiwan.

“Mirror Sensor” – Directed by: Biing Lin
A multiplayer VR experience inspired by “The Metamorphosis” centers around a high school girl who finds herself becoming a deformed creature. In the mirror, before she goes to school, she sees a reflection of an abnormal body growing from her shoulder. One way to save her from disfigurement and help her face her fears and desires is to collaborate with the viewers involved in the VR experience. It takes the form of a theater of light and shadow.
