The Fog Genie

New York Premiere

Back to HDFEST NYC Schedule

Synopsis:

On Taiwan island, fog envelops all year round on a mountain named Chilan. Only three days of the year are clear of fog, and moisture left on the trees alone can reach 300 millimeters. This fog stabilizes temperature and humidity in this forest, creating a perfect environment to nurture Asia's precious primal cypress forest.

To unlock the mysterious force behind this fog, prominent female scientist Dr. Yi-ling Lai spends her life in the forest like a genie, reaching through the fog to cypress trees around her, discovering the delicate relationship between fog and the growth of plant lives here. How incredible is mother nature!
