The Class

The Class is a video work in which Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook lectures corpses about death in what seems to be a kind of classroom. It was filmed in an actual hospital morgue in Chiang Mai, with unclaimed dead bodies playing the role of the six "students" in the class. The work is a performance in which the artist tries to understand death by lecturing the dead about death, with the lecture offering various definitions of death from different perspectives. Araya at times talks directly to the cadavers, encouraging them to share their own views and experiences, and communicating with them in the same way she would with living people. This attitude demonstrates her attempt to confront something that society has overlooked as well as social taboos and cultural discrimination, and the religious and cultural values that involve death.

Bangkok Beats: From Pop2Punk

In the capital of Thailand, the music-underground is exploding right now. That is what two German film makers found out during a two-month stay in Bangkok in 2003. The film portrays bands (Beargarden, Apartment Khun Ba, Som etc.) and labels (Smallroom, Bama, Panda, Hualampong Riddim) from the indie-scene, visits festivals and shows (Pattaya, NoisePop) and meets media (Fat Radio, Channel V), who support the Bangkok music scene. In interviews the highly creative protagonists of the local scene express their outlook on music, their conditions and what their work is about in their own words. The intention of making this film is to show to Western people what is going on in Thailand on the cultural side.

Savage Jungle

In a coastal town in the south of Thailand, a giant ape nicknamed King Kong terrorizes villagers and abducts a local girl to a forest, prompting a frantic rescue mission by the town sheriff and a fugitive bandit. Tamone Prai is an example of a regional film made by an amateur filmmaker that was popular in Thailand in the 1950s. Thamrong Rujanaphand shot the 16mm film in the south of Thailand, a predominantly Muslim region with Malay ancestry. The film has a simple, almost naive storyline typical of homemade movies of those days and features scenes that are as humorous as they are likely to raise eyebrows of present-day audiences. However, it also captures the authentic vibe and scenery of Thailand's south. The film's central attraction is the giant ape nicknamed King Kong, clearly inspired by the classic film of that title. Thamrong was also an amateur taxidermist, and his skill in creating stuffed creatures was obviously utilised in the film.

The Akha Way

For over a thousand years, the Akha people have inhabited the hills of Asia — mainly Southern China, Burma and Northern Thailand. The Akha Way or Akhazaunh, is the code by which they live. This documentary describes their origins and their culture. It contains extraordinary footage of a shaman healing ceremony; a funeral, with the ritual sacrifice of a water buffalo; the reading of a pig's liver after a new house is built, and more. Today the Akha Way is fast disappearing. Forced migration, Christianity, money and drugs are eroding the cultural heritage of the Akha tribe.
