Worldly Desires

One of three films commissioned by the Jeonju International Film Festival in 2005. A couple escaped their family to look for a spiritual tree in the jungle. There is a song at night, a song that spoke about an innocent idea of love and a quest for happiness. Worldly Desires is an experimental project where I invited a filmmaker friend, Pimpaka Towira, to shoot the love story by day and the song by night. The story, Deep Red Bloody Night, was written by my assistant who wanted to reprise a forbidden love story in a more romantic time in the past. I picked a pop song, Will I be Lucky? to convey a sense of guiltless freedom one feels when being hit by love. The video is a little simulation of manners, dedicated to the memories of filmmaking in the jungle during the year 2001-2005. -Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Bangkok Joyride 5: Dancing with Death

As before, there is no narration, no special VIP access, no set up; only direct experience on the streets which those who rule the world do not want us to remember. Part 5 of Shutdown Bangkok’s forbidden history from 2014, that marathon exercise in mass ahimsa Thai style, covers the blood-soaked Valentine’s “week they killed the children”–in central Bangkok by RPG rocket and in Trad by sniper fire. As the violence gets more explicit and protesters turn police cars into installation art, reality itself, as reflected in the film, becomes correspondingly more horrific and absurd. PS: Now that they have the full taste of their own Mr T Rex, American Anti-Trump protesters might even realise they have a lot to learn from people they’ve been calling undemocratic savages.

The Last Robbery

A gangster wants to pull a bank heist, so he coerces some acquaintances into helping him. Meanwhile, a cop is searching for a means to bring down said gangster, who has always eluded arrest. The gangster's beautiful girlfriend, who's become a junkie under the gangster's nefarious influence, is smitten with the cop -- unaware of his profession and true motive for befriending her. Then there's a bunch of street fighting, some knives and guns, a guy who climbs over the edge of a high-rise, the same guy hanging out of the window of a speeding bus who then jumps from the bus to some hot chick's Jag, lots of striped clothing, and a red and black Toyota Celica. The film was later dubbed in English and released by Champion International Films Co LTD as "Billion Killers".

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?

Family Tree Ghoul

Two young soldiers find a decomposed body in a river and decide to bury it. A spirit then exits from a tomb and transforms itself into a beautiful lady called Nuan (Trirak Rakkarndee), who then seeks refuse in the soldiers’ home and causes various problems. This Lepso Studio release was issued on VCD stealing the cover art from one film - ปีศาจแมงมุมสาว (aka "Demon Spider Girl") - and title from another film - ล้างเผ่าพันธุ์โคตรผีปอบ ("Holocaust of the Ogre Clan") - which has caused lots of confusion.
