  這是我最近提交給競賽的設計。 提案是設計一面代表台灣的旗幟。  Here is a design I recently submitted to a competition.

Reminiscent of a compass, it recalls Taiwan’s long history as a destination for seafarers. It represents Taiwan’s engagement with the larger world and the global reach of Taiwan’s creative minds. White represents sunlight and our society’s ideal of human rights and human worth. The plum colour represents rich cultural fruit. It blends the blue of sky and sea with red, the colour of passion. As an unconventional colour in flags, plum indicates someth...

Celebrating Cinema in Pondicherry

  Shoe Story  is going to Pondicherry! We in Taiwan feel a special cinematic connection to the city, as whole streets in Taichung were once transformed into Pondicherry for scenes in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi . The Indo French International Film Festival aims to be ‘truly an international platform for all filmmakers beyond language barriers across the globe.’ We’re delighted to participate and encouraged by the kind recognition. Greetings to director Satheesh Kumar and all our friends at IFIFF! 《鞋故事》要去本地治裡! 我們台灣人與這座城市有著特殊的電影聯繫,因為台中的整條街道都曾因李安的《少年派奇幻漂流》中的場景而變成本地治裡。 Indo French Film Festival 旨在成為“真正為全球所有電影製作人提供超越語言障礙的國際平台”。我們很高興參與並受到這種認可的鼓舞。 嚮導演 Satheesh Kumar 和我們在本地治裡的所有朋友致以問候! 鞋故事 SHOE STORY 來自台灣的新喜劇短片 a new short comedy film from Taiwan  starring 哆啦囉 DORA LO 羅濟豪 JAMES C H LO  紀彣潔 WEN-CHIEH CHI  sound design 陳子翔 TZU-XIANG CHEN video editing 吳宸宇 CHENYU WU trailer editing 黃柏欣 BOXIN HUANG translations 林孟穎 JESSE LIN costumes 周怡芳 HOLLY YIFANG CHOU screenplay and direction ...

Mussorgsky was devastated. When he learned of a fund-raising drive aimed at mounting an exhibition of the young man’s art, he donated at once. The event went forward. Mussorgsky attended. The exhibition lifted the grieving composer’s spirits. He completed the piano suite Pictures from an Exhibition soon after.   莫傑斯特.穆索斯基這首寫於 1874 年的鋼琴組曲是為了紀念一位英年早逝的藝術家朋友。當時那位朋友才離世...
