sPACEtIME


sPACEtIME

sPACEtIME (กาล-อวกาศ), co-directed by Thunska Pansittivorakul, Harit Srikhao, and Itdhi Phanmanee, is a documentary about the three directors and their friend Nathapong Kaewprom, playing truth or dare and discussing their (sometimes painful) love lives. Their mutual sexual histories are gradually revealed, particularly the relationship between Thunska and photographer Harit. (Harit’s photographs, including images of preserved foetuses, punctuate the film.)

In Thunska’s earlier semi-documentary Reincarnate (จุติ), a character asks him about the meaning of his tattoos. In that film, he doesn’t answer, though in sPACEtIME he explains their emotional significance. The participants all appear as themselves, and the film is completely naturalistic, though the dramatic ending (involving a power cut) invites questions about the line between documentary and ‘structured reality’.
