National Chiayi Senior Commercial Vocational School third-year students Liu Chuan-yu, Chien Ling-yen and Chang Yung-chi borrowed their school’s DSLR camera to make their first ever production, Encounter. They have now been chosen as one of three groups to represent Taiwan, and on Nov. 23 they will travel to Japan to take part in the International Asian Youth Film Exhibition where they will go head to head with groups representing 16 other countries.
The theme of the exhibition is “The moment I feel happy” and the rules state that participants must shoot a three-minute film using only home-use film equipment; subtitles and voice-overs are not allowed.
Liu, who operated the camera, said they took approximately one month to shoot the film. According to Liu, inspiration for the film came from Chang — one of the group members — who doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle. The film’s story describes a female student who has little interaction with her classmates. She manages to overcome her fear of failure, tries once more to learn how to ride a bicycle and revives the friendship with her classmates.

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
Travel fever is back, and it’s contagious. After years of being kept home during the COVID-19 pandemic, people are once again eager to explore the world. Rather than just book any trip, travelers are getting smarter about how they scratch that travel itch. Microcation Defined as four days or fewer and over 160km away from home, the microcation perfectly matches the post-pandemic mindset. After long periods of remaining indoors, people are making up for lost time by taking short, frequent getaways throughout the year. These brief trips avoid the work-life imbalance that comes with long absences. With only a few days away, one’s
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
