No Exorcism Film
Description
As one robotic voice recounts nightmarish returns to Thailand, another seeks to console. Moving through different incarnations, like entities from the Buddhist cosmology, the correspondence of voices fuse with images of Thailand’s aggressive urban development, personal (and historical) dread, and also hope through the current Thai pro-democracy youth movement.
