Lake on fire - Film by Jennifer Rainsford

Lake on fire is a short sci-fi film telling the story from a distant future of how two former lovers are reunited in a virtual forest created by an artificial intelligence. Flowers are talking, the forest is shifting colors while fighting virtual wars and the former couple realise they can't change the past. A subtle science fiction short film about regret and an A.I. only interested in humans for giving love advice.


The film is 15 minutes followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
