Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-3995-3269-3 (ISBN)
For over twenty years, director Apichatpong Weerasethakul has received international acclaim for the sensuous pacing, folkloric narratives and creative resistance to authoritarian politics buried within an expansive body of work. Situated on the fault line of narrative filmmaking and contemporary art, his work flickers between obscurity and critique, leaning into the ambiguities of contemplative art cinema to challenge political orders, resurface repressed national memories and even reimagine the structure of cinema itself.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul: Contemplation and Resistance is a major study of the screen works of one of contemporary cinema’s most influential directors. Through deconstruction of his major works placed in cultural, historical and political context, Contemplation and Resistance chronicles the creative and political interventions of one of the most influential political filmmakers of the twenty-first century.
Duncan Caillard is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Te Kura Whakapāho (the School of Communication Studies) at Auckland University of Technology. His research investigates on the intersections of narrative art cinema, film philosophy and experimental filmmaking in the Asia-Pacific, with particular interest in works of anti-authoritarian and decolonial art practice. His current research investigates the history of independent filmmaking in Hawai’i, with a focus on how communities use moving images to negotiate politics, place and identity. His work has been published in Third Text, New Review of Film and Television Studies and Senses of Cinema.
