Bangkok Joyride 4: Becoming One

A filmed record of the Shutdown Bangkok protest, from 26 January – 8 February 2014. What happened during the last elections, before the coup d’etat against Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand’s first woman prime minister? Does anyone remember or pretend not to remember? Fortunately that doesn’t matter, as this street history had a diligent and conscientious witness. This is not the story of the headlining stars, who are mere backdrop for the millions of real heroes and heroines—ordinary yet extraordinary people of every class, every age, profession and geographical region, now including farmers from upcountry who have reinforced the ranks of the Shutdown camps in central Bangkok to demand payment owed to them by the government’s rice-pledging scheme. Amidst the threats and attacks, distortion, loss and injury, how did these people overcome their natural fear of death and, just as important for success, their rage for revenge?

Apostrophe

“Only your son knew it best. At the very last moment he passed away, we were still loving each other.” A testimonial written by a daughter-in-law regarding the tragedy in 1984. As a wife, Thida would stand for her innocence against the accusation of intentional murder. As a mother, Lady Valai would do anything at any cost to redeem the lost of her son. One does not touch but another gets hurt. Once the death of someone is narrated its griefs and pain by those who still live, what else we could witness amongst many versions of narrative that overlaps in one space.

The Mental Traveller

The Mental Traveller meditates on the passing of time, external behavior and sensory reality for five men on a psychiatric ward. The film was conceived from the director’s connections to his parents and companions as they went through states of sickness, impending death, dementia, grief and temporary insanity. At the same time, it echoes the turbulent years of political upheavals and repercussions in Thailand, resulting in a nation in a state of delirium, lunacy and trauma.

Shadow and Act

“Shadow and Act” navigates through the remains of Chaya Jitrakorn, once the most prominent photo studio in Thailand built in 1940 and was the only preferred studio of the dictator Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram. The film explores the studio’s 72-year archives and its owner’s personal photographs while representing the defunct studio like the corpse of the deceased Giant. The film experiments with the relationships between memory and space as well as the past and the future.

Forrest Gump said you never know what you’re going to get from life’s box of chocolates. Narcissistic, spot-on selfie media satire ‘Follow’, starring accomplished little kids who want to be stars, looks and tastes like a bowl of rainbow candy. But they are laced with something sharp. Perhaps even a razor blade, embedded in the chocolate bar of urban Hallowe’en legend. This is no Thai ‘Bugsy Malone’. These are not kids in Big People drag. They are themselves. One wishes in fact that they were not so natural; that the film weren’t so realistic. “Evie, why don’t you do your homework?” – “I’m busy with my business,” says the worldly little girl. What business? “The movie star business of course,” is her barely exasperated reply. In Thai, or rather Tinglish, that’s “Turakij Movie Star”, and I’m so sorry if you can’t speak Thai, because they can’t afford English subtitles.
