As the light withdraws

A faintly interwoven story, of a boy who wrote poetry beneath the shadows of a sleepless city, of an old man who lives simply to light fireworks and calling out to another world far beyond, of a young teacher who once believed, with all her heart, that art could reshape the world and a young woman who was at once, a dream, a hope, and a wound. Their conversation will carry through the night in an empty bar, clinging to what’s left of themselves and trying to preserve their identities in a world where nothing is certain, except change.

Construction of Memorial Bridge

A visual document of the construction of Memorial Bridge, built as part of the celebration of Bangkok’s 150th anniversary. The highlight is when the cameraman, Pao Wasuwat, climbs into a basket and is lifted by a construction crane to capture the top view of the site, an act of improvisation that testified to his cinematic ingenuity. Chamberlain Manit Naret’s facial expressions as the camera looks unblinkingly at him speak a thousand words. Manit would later become an actor in many Thai feature films in the 1950s.

Two Sides of the Moon

Artist Som Supaparinya presents the video work Two Sides of the Moon. This film recounts the lives of fishermen and fisherwomen at the beginning and end of the Moon River where it joins the Mekong, on the border between Thailand and Laos. Each place - and its people - is confronted with the modification of the river landscape by the man-made dam, but their stories and the impact on their lives are contrasting. One community has started to learn how to fish, while the other is counting the names of lost fish and tools. The concept of light and darkness derives from the brightness of the moon and its shadows, and the contrast between the two sides of the river reveals the inequality of fates.
