Project Centre Pompidou, Paris, France
This retrospective is organised by the Centre Pompidou in partnership with the Festival d'Automne in Paris.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul presents the complete retrospective of his films at the Centre Pompidou. It consists of his eight feature films, thirty or so short (and rare) films, various collective works, and two feature films produced by him.
The works of Apichatpong Weerasethakul have carved out an extraordinary place for themselves in the contemporary cinematic landscape. Considered as one of the most inventive filmmakers of our time, his practice is wide and varied, ranging from cinema, video, installation, photography, and performance to augmented reality. It also maps out a unique path, in that it is attentive to the living and the contemporary, but it is also haunted by dreams, the past and other worlds, thereby leading the various narrative threads down hallucinatory paths. His films and installations have been shown in the major festivals and museums, and his film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2010, while Memoria received the ex-æquo Jury Prize in 2021. On the occasion of this retrospective, Apichatpong Weerasethakul gives a masterclass and directs a short film within the framework of the "Où en êtes-vous?" (Where are you at?) collection, which will be screened at the end of the year. In addition to numerous artistic encounters, this event will also be accompanied by the publication of a book.
