Scenes of Between

A father told an anecdote to his son. The story is a kind of absurd folktale that is hard to believe as historical fact. The documentary is about the narrative based on “facts” that have been passed on orally.


A blanket area

There were so many cameras at the Candle Demonstration in 2008. I also had a camera but I could only shoot at daytime because I brought a super 8 film camera. I could never film the candle or water bomb parades in early June when the daytime was not so long.


Vampire

Somewhere along the border of Thailand and Myanmar lives a creature called Nok Phii (Ghost Bird) or there used to. Nok Phii feeds on other animals’ blood and even attacks human beings.


The Propeller Group

The camera is positioned directly in front of the targets inside the shooting area, situated face to face with tourists as they enter, pay, shoot, giggle, laugh, and react to their own acts of “firing.” The camera was placed behind bulletproof glass and pulled on a track, scanning the shooting booths as it glided nonchalantly back and forth.


Shakespeare Must Die

A dictator sits alone in his dark mansion, grieving for his mad, dead wife, as a mass uprising rages against him. Elsewhere in a theatre, Shakespeare’s Macbeth is being staged; its scenes intercut with his flashbacks to tell the story of an ambitious general who, prompted by witches, kills the king to crown himself.
