Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) have entered a three-year partnership expanding Taiwanese immersive work in New York, building on a 2025 collaboration that drew more than 3,000 screenings at near-90% daily capacity. The deal launches with two works running at MoMI through Sept. 6: “Proof As If Proof Were Needed,” an interactive installation by Taiwanese artist Ting-Tong Chang and British collective Blast Theory that took the Special Jury Award at 2025’s SXSW Festival, and “Sense of Nowhere,” a gesture-tracking VR work by Hsin Hsuan Yeh that debuted at the 2025 Venice Film Festival’s Immersive Competition. “Our collaboration with MoMI is central to that effort: it gives Taiwanese work a stable platform in North America where revenue, audiences, and institutional resources reinforce one another,” said Sue Wang, TAICCA chair.
The SKIP City D-Cinema International Film Festival will relaunch in 2027 as the SKIP City KINETEC International Film Festival, broadening the Saitama, Japan event beyond digital cinema to embrace artificial intelligence, virtual production and immersive technologies. Founded in 2004 as the first competitive festival dedicated to digital cinema, the event counts Palme d’Or winner Nuri Bilge Ceylan among its alumni. The rebrand introduces two new competition sections: a Feature & Short Film Competition and a NEXT Competition for AI-generated and vertical-format work. Submissions are now open and will close Aug. 31, with the festival running Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2027.
