Former Apple employee Patsy Lo has released Anamnesis II, a 10-minute experimental dance film shot in the Patagonian Steppe. The project premiered in September 2026 at Upper House hotel properties in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Chengdu.
Why it matters
The film represents a personal artistic transition for Lo, who began intensive dance training at age 48 after leaving her corporate career. By filming in remote landscapes, she aims to capture the raw honesty of the environment through movement.
The 10-minute experimental film was produced by a team of six individuals and a mountain guide. Lo funded the production, which follows her 2025 debut project filmed on Sado Island.
