Apichatpong Weerasethakul Short Film Programme

Diving into the cinematic universe of Weerasethakul is at least as much about letting go of expectations as it is about creating them. Watching his films is a surrender into mythology, mysticism and meditation, without linear time. His films are strange. His films are rich. They bring you along on journeys where you might feel bewildered, lost or standing still. They can be challenging, especially with a mind already overloaded with impressions during a festival. We see this as an opportunity to let the mind rest for a second. By letting go of the need to understand absolutely everything, Weerasethakul’s films open up to euphoric experiences. kf
