The 18th annual Tribeca Film Festival is now taking place in New York City, celebrating independent filmmaking and artists. This year, at Tribeca Immersive, the festival is showcasing an impressive lineup of 30 AR/VR titles. With leading VR creators in the industry premiering their latest titles at Tribeca, the festival highlights how some of the best experiences are created at the intersection of storytelling and technology.
At Vive, we are dedicated to championing immersive cinematic VR experiences and delight in seeing the industry continue to grow and evolve. We are supporting five partners at Tribeca this year, all who are elevating the genre with their outstanding new content:
A collaboration between HTC VIVE and Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee, 5×1 is a cinematic VR series comprised of five short films. Directors Hou Hsiao Hsien and Liao Ching-Sung served as executive producers of this project, providing guidance to five up-and-coming directors. Mr. Buddha, directed by Lee Chung, is one part of the five-part series.
“The short crime story takes place in a car, following Dong-Tzu, Ching-Tsai, and Ni-Sang, who get their hands on a valuable antique only to have the fruits of their labor shared with the newcomer, A-Che.”
