About the Filmmaker

Apichatpong Weerasethakul began making films and video shorts in 1994. He has mounted exhibitions and installations in many countries. Often non-linear with a strong sense of dislocation, his works deal with memory, subtly addressed personal politics, and social issues. They have won him widespread international recognition and numerous festival prizes, including a Palme d’Or from the Cannes Film Festival. He received the Sharjah Biennial Prize at the 2013 Sharjah Biennial 11, UAE. He’s also a recipient of the Fukuoka Prize (Japan, 2013) and Yanghyun Art Prize (South Korea, 2014). He recently had a retrospective presented at Tate Britain in 2016.
