Kaohsiung Film Archive VR FILM LAB

The establishment of the “VR FILM LAB” was inspired by Kaohsiung Film Archive’s funding project “Kaohsiung VR FILM LAB”. The “Kaohsiung VR FILM LAB” project started from 2017 and has produced five original VR works at the year. During the Film Festival, many award-winning international VR works were introduced to Taiwanese audience as well.

These VR films drew people’s attention and brought a great success to 2017 KFF. That clued the interest to cinematic VR from local audience and brought up the idea of opening a VR screening venue which provide regular screenings and high quality screening experience. With numerous effort and support, the “VR FILM LAB” at the Pier-2 Art Center was established.

There are 30 arc-shaped egg chairs in the 360 Cinema, which can be rotated 360 degrees allowing users to enjoy VR films from different viewing angle. The “Interactive Zone” provides a space for interactive and stand-up VR experiences. In certain conditions, users are able to become a initiative participant instead of a passive viewer.

【Brand New Way of Viewing and Thinking】
When the story is no longer described in a traditional way, we can have a new perspective on viewing and the possibility of interpreting the story! The world is changing every minute. As technology continues to innovate, the ideas and thinking of creators and filmmakers can keep pace with the times, and test the hardware and content of VR FILM LAB. We expect to be able to continually renovate and move forward with the times.
