Director Napattaloong explores his personal journey in learning the roots of self-identity in Thailand through film. In No Exorcism Film (2024), he projects his interpretation of Thailand\u2019s collective memory through a narrative of suffering. The audiovisual compositions combined in this psychedelic series of visual arts offer a sensory experience that makes us feel the pain and attempts at comfort from multiple bodies, voices and perspectives, all of which are assimilated into the audience seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-40581\" src=\"https:\/\/ffd.or.id\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/No-Exorcism-Film-Still-2-500x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ffd.or.id\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/No-Exorcism-Film-Still-2-500x270.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ffd.or.id\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/No-Exorcism-Film-Still-2-1280x692.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ffd.or.id\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/No-Exorcism-Film-Still-2-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through a series of visualizations sourced from various historical events in Thailand centered on the image of this country in the director\u2019s perspective, touching on the daily conditions of society, the crisis of democracy; the conflict and violence from activists\u2019 call for monarchy reform, and the power of the military, the film presents a narrative of two voices that dialogue with each other in a transcendent room. He traces painful memories of his body\u2019s history in Thailand. All the words seem to collide without a crystal clear context of the story at the beginning, but lead to several areas of discussion: death and loss; a warlord; and the reconciliation of a mother with a child who is a victim of the state\u2019s violence.<\/p>\n<p>Visual rhythms and narratives about religion, modernity, and the history of violence come together in the abstract visual equivalent of No Exorcism Film (2024) to form a gesture towards making peace with all multi-interpretative experiences of suffering.
