Asia Culture Station, Chiang Mai
Saturday 15 July 2017
A screening programme curated by May Adadol Ingawanij exploring the mobility of the cinematic apparatus. Film projection and montage become audio-visual performances with political and ritual potency. A screen lives in the open. A camera in a street collapses the distinction between film and theatre. These dazzling works signal the long history of the interplay between the moving image and secular and spiritual traditions of media.
