#Congratulations! Director Hsin-Chien Huang's latest VR works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach, were nominated for the 78th Venice International Film Festival!
The 78th Venice International Film Festival (VIFF) announced the shortlisted nominees for the category of VR Film. Taiwanese new media artist, Distinguished Professor of NTNU, Hsin-Chien Huang, winner of the BEST VR Experience in 2017 with his work La Camera Insabbiata, will again contest for the Leone d’oro this year with two of his latest, sci-fi inspired works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach. While the Taiwanese athletes are striving for the Gold Medals at the Tokyo Olympics as we speak, director Hsin-Chien Huang dazzles the jury of VIFF with his visually-stunning and thought-provoking works — bringing cutting-edge Taiwanese VR films onto the international stage and letting world-wide audience sees Taiwan!
Before being selected for the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Samsara episode 1. has already grabbed the Jury Award at SXSW and Best VR Story at the Cannes XR Competition. This futuristic VR experience teleports the audience onto a journey that spans millions of years. Samsara is a Sanskrit word meaning “ the world ”. In Buddhism, it means what we perceive as the world is actually an endless cycle of karma (cause and effect), a cycle of life, death and rebirth in the six realms of existence. In this fascinating VR work, the audience is reincarnated into the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing the universe in their new bodies and in search for the ultimate spiritual transcendence.
Samsara depicts an apocalyptical story in the near future where human greed has depleted the earth’s resource. Catastrophic wars to fight for resource resulted in global destruction. Finally, the remaining humans had to leave the Earth and go on a search in space for a new place to live.
Nevertheless, their desperate, long quest for a new homeland… could it be just a loop in space and time? The cycle of greedy domination and total destruction that then necessitates the search for a new home…. may have hopelessly repeated itself over and over again? The constant evolutionary process and so-called progress, without transformation in consciousness and spiritual advancement, is nothing more than a Möbius strip that leads nowhere, perhaps…?
Samsara is an experiment based on the theory of Embodied Cognition. Through interactivity and VR, the audience gets to live inside the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing their feelings from within. Perhaps It is when we can perceive the world in different bodies that we may truly appreciate the thoughts of others and empathize with them. An experience that will also help us better comprehend our own existence and learn to live in harmony with all.
Samsara explores a complex of deeply interconnected issues of ecology, technology, natural resource and war, etc. It's a story about a journey humans are forced to take on, after having destroyed the earth with nuclear disasters. The survivors seek a new planet, in the boundless, interstellar space, to carry on their lives. Gradually they evolve into a new life form artificially. Yet, many years passed and they’ve come to realize that they would never make it to the new planet they’ve been dreaming of. In fact, they have simply been returning to the Earth, in different life forms, time after time.
Director Huang applies the concepts of embodied cognition, offering a unique way to contemplate about the nature of life. As the audience are transported into different bodies each time, they gain a brand new perspective to experience the world views presented in Samsara.
Samsara was produced under the guidance of Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and Kaohsiung Film Archive VR(VR FILM LAB), it’s a sate-of-the-art VR production made 100% in Taiwan. In the VR experience, viewers are transformed into various kinds of animals to interact with the scenes, including species unique and indigenous to Taiwan, such as Taiwan Blue Magpie and Formosan Black Bear.
Samsara Ep.1 features the latest somatosensory technology, including 4D views shooting techniques by the Industrial Technology Research Institute and TAICCA. A digital shooting system comprised of a high-sensitivity 4 million-pixel, full-color CCD sensor and 48 4DV-EX-Z cameras made it possible for Samsara Ep.1 to be taken from an omnidirectional view and shot without any blind spots, creating the ultimate immersive experience.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH, directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and produced in cooperation with Lucid Reality (France) and Oready 瑞意創科 Oready Innovation Lab (Taiwan), is a scientific fairy tale about a unique ecological wonder in Taiwan and Japan, the shiny starry sand beaches. Foraminifera, from the Latin word “foramen” meaning hole, is a single-celled organism that builds a shell with multiple chambers which intercommunicate with one another through holes. On the Qimei Island, Taiwan and the Yaeyama Islands, Japan, beaches have been formed by a specific species of foraminifera with star-shaped shells made of calcium carbonate. Like the real stars in the legends, grains of the starry sand have also been preserving the earth’s memories for millions of years.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH is a real-time 3D interactive VR adventure into the natural and mythological landscape of the starry sand beaches on Qimei Island in Penghu Archipelago, Xing Sha Wan in Kenting National Park and Taketomi Island in the far south of Japan. The experience is full of aesthetically-amazing elements and enriched with cultural and religious significance like Shintoism in Japan. A beautiful, haunting legend tells the story of the starry sand…
The final winners will be presented at the award ceremony held on Sep11. With great anticipation and hopes, Hsin-Chien Huang is expected to bring home again the grand prize for Taiwan!

Found in the middle of nowhere, outside of Kaohsiung lies an old temple surrounded by mystery and known by nobody!
Here is the epic finale of our Kaohsiung Adventure Vlog series! I really hope you have enjoyed this Taiwan travel vlog series. It was such an unbelievable adventure, exploring and travelling through Kaohsiung. I would love to know your thoughts on the adventure vlogs and where you would like to see me go on my next adventure?
In this final Taiwan adventure we continued our journey from Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum travelling to Qishan village.
Qishan Village is famous for Banana made products including the tastiest Banana Bread in Taiwan!
We explored Qishan Old Street to find great local Taiwan street food stalls and of course to try the famous Banana Bread!
After having great Taiwanese dishes and local Taiwanese noodles we took a drive up the mountain over looking Qishan to Qishan Confucius Temple.
Here in this beautiful mountain temple you could see the vast Taiwan landscape beyond. This temple is a great Taiwan hike location and for those travelers looking for a hidden gem this place is perfect. The Taiwan temple is completely empty with no tourists, you can experience this unbelievable nature of Taiwan all to yourself.
After taking in the beautiful view from the temple we drove through the country side of Taiwan to Tianliao Moon World.
The landscape at the Moon World Taiwan nature park is something from another planet. It is a great place to have a walking tour and see the unique mountains of Taiwan.
Exploring around the nature park was awesome and it is a must visit location in Taiwan for nature lovers.
After the Moon world tour we traveled to the most insane temple I have ever seen in my life.
Tianliao Stone temple is the most unique temple I have ever seen and perhaps the best hidden gem in Taiwan. It is a must for those wanting to travel off the beaten path and discover the secrets of Taiwan. I could not believe that this Stone temple was built with no plan and no budget. The area around the temple and the Taiwan stone Temple itself is magical and if you want things to do in Taiwan, then this must be top on your list to see.
Finally after seeing this Kaohsiung hidden gem we traveled to a mountain temple high above Kaohsiung in the mountains surrounding Kaohsiung city.
Here looking out towards Kaohsiung it was the perfect place to reflect on our Taiwan travel tour and the crazy adventure we had had in Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung blew my mind, in the city there is great street food and out of it there are unbelievable hidden gems and secret travel locations.
It is on my list for must visit cities in Taiwan and recommend to all travelers looking to have an adventure!
Thank you so much for watching this Kaohsiung adventure series, I really hope you enjoyed these Taiwan travel vlogs and hope it can be a good travel guide for those wanting to travel and experience Taiwan in a different way, away from the crowds.
See you in the next travel adventure!
