Arts Thread

Synopsis: Lik is an international student from China. When she first comes to London two years ago, she feels like an outsider, wandering the streets with a sense of alienation. Gradually, she notices others around her with similar struggles. Thus, she founds the Asian art community "Lucky Pot." In Lucky Pot, they eat, sleep, and create together. The bizarre performance art is their attempt to unravel the knots in their hearts. In the unfamiliar environment, Lik builds her own home with her friends. Lik is like a key; you may not have experienced the same story as she, but she can unlock the soul, leading the audience to see those drifting in a foreign land.Director’s bio: Jianghan Zhao is a drama and documentary filmmaker.
