The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival [05.11.2008]
COMING SOON: MAAP presents the 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival (BEFF 5). 10th - 13th December
Over 150 works from Thai and international artists and filmmakers will be served simultaneously in a massive playlist of alternative screen culture. MAAP invites you to the Judith Wright Centre's temporary experimental film library, in a media-art-surround-video-post-capitalist shop, where everything is free!
BEFF 5 exposes a rich independent film culture that seeks to give voice to the political and cultural realities of contemporary Thai life. Film, animations and video mash-ups from Thailand and around the world collide together in a radical cross-cultural dialogue. The event brings together artist's films, video art, animation and experimental documentaries for local audiences to sample and engage with.
This year's festival, "The More Things Change...", curated by David Teh, interrogates cycles of contemporary life in Thailand, and considers issues of politics, place and spirituality in a digital age.
Open Wed 10 Dec - Fri 12 Dec: 4.30pm - 8pm Sat 13 Dec: 12 noon - 8pm
Please join us for drinks on Friday 12th December and Saturday 13th 6pm - 8pm, and catch curator David Teh who will be talking with Danni Zuvela on Saturday 13th from 4pm onwards.
Free entry to patrons over 18 years. ID required to gain entry.
