Jantrara-Jansirin Suttichart
The wandering spirit enters a dying man’s dreams. She whispers and reveals the poems and prophecies that reflect Thailand’s state of mind during the past decades and the people who were hallucinated by the mystic power of illusions. The film reveals the visions that the “dead” perceives on the journey into the kingdom of death. The fragmented stream of consciousness of a mysterious woman intensified the final memories that are gradually vanishing from this world.
Whispering Ghosts
The Mental Traveller
Taiki Sakpisit
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.

The Age of Anxiety
Taiki Sakpisit
THE AGE OF ANXIETY meditates on fin de siècle Thailand. The film deconstructs the hallucinatory film footages of the Thai melodrama of the 80’s into thousands of frantic fragments, like the violent stabs of disturbing memories, perpetual nightmares and reinventing histories, that ascend the viewers into the mind-expanding horizon of a fragile nation on the verge of madness.
