1. “Sunset” by Aditya Assarat: An art gallery got invaded by soldiers because they found the exhibited photo 'offensive'

2. "Catopia” by Wisit Sasanatieng: An absurdist-fantastical story about an office man woke up one day just to find out that Thailand becomes a dystopian world can ruled by cats he had to escape it before, he turned into of them.

3. “Planetarium” by Chulayarnon Siriphol: A matronly ruler who loves to wear pink military uniforms and enjoys watching over citizens via state-of-the-art surveillance systems; she can control their every move by pressing the pause and start icon of her smartphone. 

4. “Songs of the city” by Apichatpong Weerasethakul: A man tries to peddle a mask  that improves relaxation and beauty. Here, the futuristic element is completely downplayed. Life seems to go on as if nothing’s wrong, but could the people’s sleepy gait, their fad for health and well-being reflect the anatomy of the state…

Above is the idea and script purpose for the band

My career goal is to be a screenwriter/director who go to Cannes Film Festival and by breaking down Apicahtpong life and work surely help me to understand his approach better.

Apichatpong mixed sci-fi and rural spiritual believes together creating an absurd daily routine life of Isan People.

To locate odd beauty—sometimes amusing or disturbing—in daily life, we must test the artist's keen and sensitive attention to his immediate circle and living environment. Empathy that breaks down self-and-other barriers is shown in his "video journals," made with a little camera he always carries. We meet his animal and human pals. Sakda Kaewbuadee and Jenjira Pongpas-Widner barely resembled imaginary characters in his films.

Several videos illustrate Thailand's political problems and his incomparable kindness to these creatures. Beyond power and the army, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's political gesture is based on his perceptual question: the camera may illuminate an invisible community by skimming reality's network of forces between people, objects, and species. A revelation process combines technical and spiritual factors to build our inner cinema: the artist calls the human spirit a “projection apparatus”. The moving picture explores and grows the invisible, creating a delicate shelter of secret connections that must be defended from outside aggressions. Exhibition video Our bodies guard this virtual memory by cycling between dreams to exchange and keep their information.

Periphery of the Night takes us on dreamlike journeys via a variety of rhythms and intensities, sometimes far from his feature films' tranquilly and languor. Backlighting, suspended projections, and holographic filters change our biological clock to new cadences as suddenly and discreetly as a curtain fades, a breeze through the trees, or the sun shifts across the horizon.
