The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival (เทศกาลหนังทดลองกรุงเทพฯ ครั้งที่ 5) began yesterday, and runs until 30th March at the Esplanade Cineplex. This year’s event, organised by Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Project 304, has The More Things Change... as its central theme.
There will be two programmes commenting on Thailand’s current political instability: Learned Behaviour on 27th and 30th March—including Thunska Pansittivorakul’s Middle-earth (มัชฌิมโลก)—and Track Changes on 26th and 30th March. Middle-earth was previously screened at the 11th Thai Short Film and Video Festival (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์สั้น ครั้งที่ 11).
This evening, the Sompot+Thunska programme featured three works by Sompot Chidgasornpongse (Naoko Is Trying to Teach Me How to Make “Tonkatsu” in One Minute, 8,241.46 Miles Away from Home, and Landscape 101 01 1101 01...) and two new films by Thunska (Action! and Soak). There was also a Q&A session with Thunska.
Action! is a compilation of out-takes featuring the actor Sitthipong Prempridi, shot by Zart Tanchareon. Soak (ชุ่ม) stars Saifah Tanthana, who is filmed swimming in the sea (during which the soundtrack is dominated by the gurgling of the water) and riding a motorcycle, with the video camera representing Thunska’s gaze.
