It’s the start of a long journey: around the world in three weeks.

I’m leaving Hong Kong and heading to Chile, Cuba, and Germany to research and shoot footage for three more episodes of our hybrid AI documentary “OXYGNÈ – A Breath Across Borders,” which explores the global impact of Jean-Michel Jarre’s groundbreaking album. In Santiago de Chile, I will team up with my co-director, cinematographer, and AI director Christoph Rohrscheidt, as well as my assistant director Prof. Bárbara Fernández Melleda from the University of Hong Kong, to meet the leading electronic musician Gonzalo Schafer Canoba and the legendary radio host Sergio Campos. During a time of strict media censorship and human rights abuses under the Pinochet dictatorship, Campos's news broadcasts—backed by Jarre’s futuristic, progressive electronic sounds—became a subtle but potent audio symbol of resistance. The music provided a sense of hope and solidarity for the anti-Pinochet opposition and pro-democracy movement.
I’d like to thank my producer, Marc-Daniel Dichant from Shot’n’Post, as well as Oscar-winning documentarian Prof. Ruby Yang, Director of the School of Future Media at HKU, for making this research trip possible!


Stay tuned for all the stories from the trip!
