Cold Fire (2020) dir. Lo Lai Lai

Lo Lai Lai Natalie currently works and lives in Hong Kong. She has received her Bachelor of Art (Fine Arts) and Master of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2017. Lai Lai is a former travel journalist. She is interested in the development and the construction of nature. As a learner at the collective organic farm Sangwoodgoon (Hong Kong) where she also explores the lifestyle of HalfFarming, HalfX, a practice that seeks alternatives and autonomy as an artist and HongKonger, Lai Lai finds her interests in food, farming, fermentation, slowdriving, surveillance, and meditation. She works across multiple and mixed media including moving images, photography and installation. Cold Fire is a film about air disasters and fermentation. It takes the unpredictable process of plane crash and fermentation as a metaphor for our current society and relationships, in which there are too many unknowns, leading us to feel the uncomfortable effects of the inexplicable minutiae of everyday life.
