Apichatpong Weerasethakul: From Colombia to Cannes
Join award-winning Thai filmmaker on the shoot of his new film Memoria, starring Tilda Swinton.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the Palme d’Or award-winning Thai filmmaker and artist, is back at the Cannes Film Festival this year with his film, Memoria, which has just been selected for the main competition.
Starring Tilda Swinton, Memoria is Apichatpong’s first feature film to be shot outside his native Thailand.
Apart from being shot in the mountains of Colombia and centering on a widow, played by Swinton, who goes in search of her own identity after hearing a series of mysterious bangs, many details of the film have been kept under wraps.
With exclusive access to the Director, cast and crew, In the Studio joins Apichatpong on the shoot in Colombia and follows him through to the post-production in Thailand.
