本次“金马53”年度广告邀请到赵德胤、陈哲艺、毕赣三位新导演分别拍摄，目前陈哲艺执导的部分已经出炉。短片中，张震回到当年拍摄《牯岭街杀人事件》的场景，并在黑板写下“小四，谢谢爱电影的你”

继陈哲艺、毕赣之后，「金马53年度广告」推出由本届「年度台湾杰出电影工作者」得主赵德胤执导的最终篇。赵德胤把最新的360度VR全景拍摄技术，用来重现侯孝贤1986年经典《恋恋风尘》的一场戏，柯震东与吴可熙跨越时代、回到主角纯朴的生活情态，穿著制服背著书包走在回家的路上。影片看似平实无奇，但观众可以可以用鼠标上下左右游动，选择与主角同行，或者远望他们背影，也可以鸟瞰、仰视，身历其境。然后打算下部拍科幻片的赵德胤在这裡加了个「不速之客」，眼尖的观众会发现竟有飞碟「乱入」。
