Unreal Asia (3)

Uncanny Geographies

 

The Bangkok-based curators Gridthiya Gaweewong and David Teh have watched hundreds of Asian short films and combined them into a themed presentation entitled «Unreal Asia», which was shown at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen last year. At the core of their research is whether realism has any native counterpart in Asian aesthetics. The festival shows a selection of this highly interesting compendium, divided into three parts. Program 1: «Present Tense: State Fictions, Fictional States», Program 2: «Fabrications: The Theatre of Everyday Life» and Program 3: «Uncanny Geographies».
