Additionally, TAICCA is excited to take published works from Taiwan to the Cannes Festival "Shoot the Book!", an international initiative for film adaptations of books, for the first time. TAICCA has selected several works from this year's Books from Taiwan recommended books for translation to showcase during the networking event, including author Kevin CHEN's new work "Ghost of a Place" By participating in these networking events, TAICCA hopes to build a strong global presence for Taiwanese content and open up more opportunities for international audiovisual co-production.
In recent years, Taiwan has emerged as a key player in VR content and is excited to partner with Cannes Festival's XR Day Program. More details will be announced on June 22 on the series of events highlighting Taiwan's immersive content.
