No Exorcism Film

Komtouch Napattaloong / Thailand / 2024 / World Premiere / 20 min

A hypnotic work video art with its antennae pointed towards cosmological frequencies, but with its roots anchored in reality.

Beings from Buddhist cosmology move through different incarnations, and the correspondence of robotic voices merge with glimpses of Thailand’s aggressive urban development and the country’s current youth movement. Hope, disintegration, change: ‘No Exorcism Film’ is an intense audiovisual work composed of pixels, colours and shadows that navigates through Thailand’s history and heritage in a search for meaning and resistance. Drawing inspiration from film artists as diverse as Trinh Minh-ha and Angela Schanelec, but tuned in on completely different cinematic frequencies, Komtouch Napattaloong has created an abstract and hypnotic, yet direct and sensory work.
