A screening of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's, TROPICAL MALADY. The narrative follows the romance between a soldier and a young man in the Thai countryside. The film is a generous introduction to Weerasethakul's style and politics, blending themes of sexuality, ecology, and spirituality. We hope that the event might inspire conversation about the relations between the political and cinematic, with potential reference to the ongoing political unrest in Thailand. How do cinematic and political ecologies share the same movements, and how do they impact one another? Screened by a bike-powered generator!
