White Hot Iron Rainbow explores how bodies respond, adapt, and seek connection in a

world shaped by global surveillance and mediated violence. Shot entirely with thermal

cameras—tools typically used in military and surveillance contexts—the film abstracts

human figures into heat signatures, reducing life to patterns of temperature and

movement. Yet within this abstraction, unmistakable gestures of intimacy, desire, fear, and resistance radiate.
