BEFF 5: Bangkok was here [30.01.2009]
December 2008 saw MAAP present the 5th Bangkok Experimental Film festival at the Judith Wright Centre. Over 100 works from Thai artists and filmmakers were screened in a massive playlist of alternative screen culture, nestled amongst tropical palms and flickering out onto busy Brunswick st.
MAAP supported curator David Teh in Bangkok through our mentorship program funded by the Australia Council and also commissioned emerging curator Rachel O'Reilly to produce a program in the festival that she titled 'Video Ground'.
MAAP invited Danni Zuvella to speak 'in conversation' with David - it was poignantly engaging especially in light of the current political situation in Thailand.
