<\/a><\/p>\n“Beyond Beauty, Taiwan from Above”\u770b\u898b\u53f0\u7063\u00a0\u00a0is the first movie documenting Taiwan with aerial photography. With professional aerial photographic equipment filming in high altitude, we will see Taiwan in heights and angles that has never been seen before. “Beyond Beauty, Taiwan from Above ” is produced by Mr. Hou Hsiao-Hsien, photographed and directed by Taiwan\u2019s aerial photographer Mr. Chi Po-lin, and narrated by Mr. Wu,Nien-Chen. The music is composed by Mr. Ricky Ho, who is the award winner of Taiwan\u2019s Golden Horse Award for the Best Original Film Score in the movie “Seediq Bale.”<\/p>\n
Taiwan is so beautiful from the air when we see the landscape of mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers, forests, rice fields, fish ponds, and urban area; but we will also see the inevitable environmental changes, damage, and wounds caused by people in various kinds of developments. Our land has strips of accumulated scars, with layers of contamination deposited in the ocean. Through the various themes and connected chapters, we transform into birds, soaring above Taiwan, to witness the island’s beauty and sorrow together.<\/p>\n
