The extended reality film "Traversing the Mist" was shortlisted April 23 in the inaugural competition for Best Immersive Work at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
Directed by Chou Tung-yen, the piece uses augmented, mixed and virtual reality to invite the audience on a surreal journey. With 6DoF technology, which refers to six degrees of movement, "Traversing the Mist" gives participants the opportunity to explore a virtual gay sauna and ponder questions of love and loneliness.
The Taiwan-produced film competes with seven other productions, all of which will be presented to festival attendees from May 15-24, with the result slated to be announced May 23. It premiered at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam in 2023 and is also being shown at this year's NewImages Festival in France.
Following the announcement, Chou expressed appreciation to the producer Very Theatre based in Taipei City and to team members who helped him create "The Mist Trilogy," of which "Traversing the Mist" is the final part. The director also thanked the Ministry of Culture for its support, and everyone in Taiwan who is dedicated to advancing the development of XR as a medium.
"Traversing the Mist" is part of an MOC initiative launched in 2019 that provides subsidies to artistic creations that incorporate technology. The initiative aims to develop experimental and original works and raise Taiwan's profile in the field of science- and technology-inflected art by integrating resources and encouraging artists to participate in international exhibitions.

President Tsai Ing-wen received a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives at the Presidential Office April 24 in Taipei City, pledging to keep working with the U.S. and other partners to strengthen the democratic alliance for a more stable and prosperous world.
The group comprises Lisa McClain, secretary of the House Republican Conference and member of the Committee on Armed Services; Dan Kildee of the Democratic Party who serves on the Committee of Ways and Means; and Mark Alford of the Republican Party who is also on the armed services committee.

Tsai thanked the current U.S. administration and Congress for the arms sales that bolster the country's self-defense in line with the Taiwan Relations Act and Six Assurances, as well as the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which will provide even more resources for initiatives supporting Taiwan.
Taiwan and the U.S. are important economic and trade partners, the president said. Following the signing of the first agreement under the Taiwan-U.S. Initiative on 21st Century Trade, the government looks forward to concluding the U.S.-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act as soon as possible to boost two-way investment and encourage more industrial cooperation.
The president also thanked the delegates, who are all members of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus, for their close attention to Taiwan-related issues and support of Taiwan's global participation through legislation.
In response, McClain praised Tsai as a courageous and inspiring leader who has made a remarkable impact. Kildee said the purpose of this visit is to build on the strong partnership as the two sides move forward to face challenges ahead, while Alford said the two sides must stand united against the forces of aggression and promote freedom and democracy in the Indo-Pacific.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the fact that the United States once again affirmed Taiwan's democratic and human rights achievements in the 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. The section on Taiwan reaffirmed the county's democratic government and its respect and protection of freedom and human rights.
According to the MOFA, as a frontline democracy facing authoritarianism, Taiwan attaches great importance to the protection of human rights and the exercise of its peoples' freedoms and makes good use of the country's high-tech advantages to actively cooperate with the public and private sectors of like-minded countries.
Last month, Taiwan was invited to participate in the third Summit for Democracy, sharing with the international community the use of emerging technologies such as co-creation to successfully resist cyberattacks and cognitive warfare, to strengthen democratic resilience and further develop international human rights.
Following on from that event, Taiwan and the U. S. held the fourth U.S.-Taiwan Consultations on Democratic Governance in the Indo-Pacific Region last month. Countering foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) and strengthening democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region were discussed, as well as Taiwan's democracy and civil society resilience.
In the future, Taiwan will continue to deepen cooperation with the U.S. and other countries with similar ideals, that share the values of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Suggestions in the report on the criminalization of defamation and public insult and concern for labor rights have been forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relevant authorities for reference.

Foreign Minister Jaushieh Joseph Wu lauded the warmth of the bond between Taiwan and New Zealand and called for deeper cooperation in the face of authoritarianism during an interview April 19.
The minister also discussed further exchanges on education and Indigenous cultures while speaking with Sam Sachdeva from the online media outlet Newsroom for an article released April 22 entitled "Taiwan wants NZ support to counter ‘expanding authoritarianism.'''
Wu said that Taiwan and New Zealand both value democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law highly, adding that the 2013 agreement on economic cooperation has laid a solid foundation on which to continue building the bilateral relationship.
The minister further reiterated Taiwan's commitment to joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, citing economic and trade reforms the country has carried out to meet the organization's high standards. He urged current CPTPP members like New Zealand to judge candidates on their merits and actions, rather than being swayed by political considerations.
Wu also mentioned that Taiwan would be glad to share with New Zealand's nongovernmental organizations and academic institutions the tools it has developed to fight disinformation as another way to mitigate China's threats to security in the Pacific in recent years.
In terms of national security, the minister said that Taiwan would maintain its responsible approach to the cross-strait status quo and continue to improve its self-defense capabilities as a deterrent against attacks from China. (POC-E)

Premier Chen Chien-jen kicked off the international review of the first national report on the implementation of the U.N. International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) April 22 in Taipei City, highlighting Taiwan's commitment to ensuring the rights of all members of society.
Taiwan has codified six international human rights conventions into domestic law, Chen said, adding that the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons From Enforced Disappearance was passed by the Executive Yuan in February, while legislation for others, including the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, are also underway.
According to Chen, the government has ramped up human rights protections in recent years, citing the establishment of the National Human Rights Commission under the Control Yuan in 2020 and the Executive Yuan's launch of a department overseeing human rights and transitional justice in 2022.
The premier added that the EY department released the National Human Rights Action Plan later the same year, which focused on digital human rights, equality and nondiscrimination, housing justice and refugee rights.
Although Taiwan is not a member of the U.N., it attaches just as much importance to human rights as any other country, as evidenced by it being the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, Chen said. The country's adoption of the international review mechanism demonstrates its determination to actively participate in global human rights affairs, he added.
Chen said members of the international review committee will exchange views with representatives from the public and private sectors and extend recommendations during the two-day event, requesting that relevant ministries and agencies incorporate the suggestions into policy adjustments and future legislation.
According to the EY, attendees include NHRC Chair Chen Chu; Ambassadors of Haiti, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines to Taiwan; as well as officials from the Belgium Office in Taipei and the commercial offices of the Sultanate of Oman and New Zealand. (YCH-E)

The 2024 World Indigenous Tourism Summit held its closing ceremony April 18 at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center in the southern Taiwan city, according to the Council of Indigenous Peoples.
The three-day summit, which featured two keynote speeches, four forum topics and six group discussions, attracted over 600 participants from 27 countries and territories. Prominent attendees included CIP Minister Icyang Parod and representatives from Austronesian Forum member countries and the World Indigenous Tourism Alliance.
According to the CIP, the fruitful multilateral dialogue led to the formulation of six cooperative goals for Indigenous tourism.
The first pertains to the rights of Indigenous peoples, stating that governments should take Indigenous people's opinions into consideration when formulating policies for cultural and ecological preservation, circular economy and responses to climate change.
In return, the second and third goals encourage Indigenous peoples to share their knowledge on ecological conservation, as well as record and preserve their cultures to promote their heritage via tourism.
The fourth states that Indigenous peoples should have the autonomy to give guided tours offering their perspectives, enriching tourism with their own stories and environmental knowledge, and that travel agencies must show respect for these authentic viewpoints.
The fifth outlines expectations for a cooperative model between Indigenous peoples and travel agencies that ensures both sides benefit from tourism.
The final goal directs travel agents to incorporate the protection of natural habitats into their mission and act as intermediaries between residents and visitors.
Following the closing ceremony, participants will visit local tribes April 18-20 to experience the diverse lifestyles of Taiwan's Indigenous groups and gain insight into how each tribe stimulates tourism, the CIP said. (POC-E)

President Tsai Ing-wen said April 18 that Taiwan is committed to working with Lithuania to expand exchanges and jointly contribute to global prosperity and development.
Tsai made the remarks while meeting with a Lithuanian delegation of academics and experts led by Mantas Adomėnas, the Baltic state's former vice foreign minister, at the Presidential Office in Taipei City.
The president first thanked Adomėnas for his longstanding support for Taiwan, citing his facilitation of the Lithuanian government's donation of COVID-19 vaccines to the country and assistance provided for the establishment of mutual representative offices.
According to Tsai, Taiwan and Lithuania have continued to deepen bilateral cooperation in areas spanning agriculture, semiconductors, and medicine and health. The two sides have enhanced economic and trade collaboration through the Central and Eastern Europe Investment Fund, while in recent years also sharing experience in countering disinformation and promoting cybersecurity, she said.
Tsai took the opportunity to thank the Lithuanian government and the Seimas for repeatedly stressing the importance of cross-strait peace and stability as well as speaking out in support of international participation for Taiwan. The donation of 50,000 euros (NT$1.73 million) to Taiwan following its earthquake earlier this month is also deeply appreciated, Tsai added.
In response, Adomėnas praised Taiwan as a beacon of human rights and an example of how values like freedom should be implemented for the world. The country's flourishing culture and prosperous development have denied a narrative that democracy is not suited to some cultures, he said, adding that the fact that both Taiwan and Lithuania stand in the vicinity of major authoritarian forces unites the two like-minded partners.
