In a speculative essay in Filmkrant in May 2020, Apichatpong Weerasethakul imagined how the pandemic might transform film viewers whose physical isolation and uncertainty about the future could foster an appreciation of the present and, by considering the same view every day, a mastery of the art of looking. Returning now to theaters, might we demand "a cinema that is closer to real life, in real time... [a] cinema of Now"?
...BAMPFA presents a retrospective of Weerasethakul's films and his installation, Morakot (Emerald), and we are honored to partner with the Townsend Center for the Humanities to welcome Weerasethakul to present several film programs in person, as well as the 2023 Una's Lecture. - Kate Mackay, Associate Film Curator
