Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2006)
Cast: Nantarat Swaddikul, Jaruchai Iamaran, Sophon Pukanok. Nu Nimsonboom, Jenjira Pongpas, Arkanae Cherkam, Sakda Kaewbuadee, Sin Kaewpakpin. Screenplay: Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Cinematography: Sayombhyu Mukdeeprom. Art direction: Akekarat Homlaor. Film editing: Lee Chatametikool. Music: Kantee Anantagant.
Syndromes and a Century is the kind of film that is apt to have some people say, "It's like watching paint dry." And that's what makes it so fascinating. During the long stretches in which the viewer has nothing to do but watch an odd dark oval, the aperture of some kind of device that seems to be vacuuming up smoke from a room full of mysterious medical equipment, we're left with nothing to do but meditate on how that oval suggests a black hole, or how it echoes a solar eclipse earlier in the film, or how medical technology seems alien, or to wonder nervously whether the hospital in which the scene takes place is on fire. Things happen in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's film; sometimes they even happen twice, a kind of reincarnation of earlier events -- Weerasethakul is fascinated by the belief in past lives. But the events are there for us to assemble in our imaginations: The film isn't going to that work for us. A doctor has a somewhat oddball interview with a job applicant, who later reveals that he's madly in love with her, whereupon she tells him of her inconclusive relationship with a man who collects orchids. A dentist works on a patient, a Buddhist monk in saffron robes, and begins singing to him. Later, the two meet in a scene in which the dentist speculates on whether the monk might be the reincarnation of the brother for whose accidental death he blames himself. It's also clear that the dentist has something of a crush on the monk. A young doctor's girlfriend wants him to move with her to a burgeoning new city, and shows him pictures of the industrial construction there as if it were some kind of enticement. They start to make out and he gets an erection. An older doctor, a hematologist, tries to treat a younger doctor's patient, who has suffered from carbon monoxide inhalation, by healing his chakras. When it doesn't work, the young doctor tells her he had already tried that. And so on, through various incidents that somehow echo one another but stubbornly refuse to be assimilated into a conventional narrative. Unlike Weerasethakul's other films, Syndromes and a Century takes place in a scientific culture at which untamed nature only laps furtively around the edges. The settings are modern hospitals, not plantations or jungles, and there are no ghosts or forest monsters on hand. But for all that, the world remains as haunted and mysterious as the worlds seen in Tropical Malady (2004) and Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010). Weerasethakul has been compared to Michelangelo Antonioni in his technique of introducing situations and settings that never quite resolve themselves into completed stories, but where Antonioni was filled with angst by the world's intractable conflicts, Weerasethakul seems content to enjoy the mystery without worrying about its implications.

Revisión de la película Pop Aye y resumen de la película (2017)
“Pop Aye” tiene un tono agradable y afable, respaldado por la cálida fotografía y el pintoresco encuadre de Chananun Chotrungroj, así como el esquema de edición enfocado de Lee Chatametikool, y sin embargo, la película parece faltar en general. Es difícil echarle la culpa a un solo individuo porque las partes sobresalen más o menos incluso si el todo parece ligero. El músico de rock progresivo…

Penilaian terbaik dilakukan tim juri diketuai Jia Zhangke yang suradara Tiongkok. KorSel mengikutsertakan lima film yakni The Wailing, The Age of Shadows, Train To Busan, The Last Princess dan The Handmaiden. Kelima film tersebut masuk menjadi total 19 nominasi dari 15 kategori yang ada. The Handmaiden, film tentang lesbian di masa 1930 di Korea dan Jepang ini menjadi salah satu karya yang difavoritkan para juri, karena dinominasikan di enam kategori. Dari enam nominasi tersebut, film karya sutradara kondang Park Chan Wook ini memenangi kategori Aktris Pendukung Terbaik (Moon So Ri), Pendatang Baru Terbaik (Kim Tae Ri), Desain Produksi Terbaik (Ryu Seong Hee), dan Desain Kostum Terbaik (Kwon Yoo Jin dan Rim Seung Hee). Adapun pengarah The Wailing, Na Hong Jin, menyabet gelar Sutradara Terbaik. Sedangkan Mowg sukses mengantar The Age of Shadows mendapatkan Musik Pengiring Terbaik. Film Zombie Train To Busan kalah dalam acara penghargaan yang disebut-sebut Oscar versi Asia itu. Film terlaris di Asia tahun lalu 2016 masuk sebagai nominasi di lima kategori, namun harus rela pulang dengan tangan hampa. Selain Gong Yoo yang dinominasikan sebagai aktor terbaik, Ma Dong Seok yang memerankan Sang Hwa masuk nominasi Aktor Pendukung Terbaik, Yang Jin Mo untuk kategori Editing Terbaik, Kwon Yoo Jin dan Rim Seung Hee untuk kategori Desain Kostum Terbaik, dan Jung Hwang Su untuk Efek Visual Terbaik.

Diadaptasi dari buku karya Liu Zhenyun dengan judul yang sama, I Am Not Madame Bovary berkisah tentang perjalanan China dari rural ke urban. Keberhasilan Fan Bingbing sebagai aktris terbaik dirayakan meriah karena keinginannya mengubah citra glamor yang biasa disandangnya, menjadi seorang wanita gelandangan dengan pakaian compang-camping yang ingin membalas dendam kepada suaminya. "Sutradara meminta saya untuk memainkan karakter yang belum pernah saya lakoni sebelumnya, ini spesial, tapi dia [sutradara] tidak tahu bahwa saya mau melakukannya. Saya merasa bahwa apapun yang dilakukan dengan usaha adalah mungkin [terjadi]," ujar aktris populer di Asia hingga Hollywood tersebut.

Sakda Kaewbuadee and Banlop Lomnoi in Tropical Malady (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2004)
Cast: Banlop Lomnoi, Sakda Kaewbuadee. Screenplay: Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Cinematography: Jarin Pengpanitch, Vichit Tanapanitch, Jean-Louis Vialard. Production design: Akekarat Homlaor. Film editing: Lee Chatametikool, Jacopo Quadri.
Tropical Malady comes in two not-quite-discrete segments. The first is a more-or-less realistic account of the romance of Keng (Banlop Lomnoi), a soldier, with Tong (Sakda Kaewbuadee), a farm boy Keng meets during a mission to recover a body. The second part is an elaboration on a kind of ghost story in which a soldier (also played by Lomnoi) goes into the jungle to search for a missing villager, and there encounters the spirit of a shaman (also played by Kaewbuadee) who can turn himself into a tiger. Although the first part is mostly a love story, it is as shadowy in its way as the second part, beginning with the discover of the body -- and the soldiers' glee in having their photographs taken with the corpse -- and ending with Tong's disappearance into the dark, after which Keng rides his motor scooter past a group of men beating up another man and then pursuing Keng. Although the narrative of Tropical Malady is more conventionally handled than that of Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010), there are some clear links between the two films, including the fact that Kaewbuadee plays a character named Tong in both, and in Tropical Malady refers to his uncle who can recall his past lives. There's also a key scene in both films set in a cavern, along with an obvious preoccupation with the spirit world. If there's a theme that runs through both, it's that of the thinness of the boundary between civilization and the primitive world, or between body and spirit.

Singapore Media Festival 2017: Taking Asian Storytelling to the Global Forefront
HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Southeast Asia's leading international media event, the Singapore Media Festival (SMF), announced today that its fourth edition will be held from 23 November to 3 December 2017. Hosted by the Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA), the festival is a marquee platform to showcase notable regional creative talent, and provide opportunities to discover and connect with a vibrant global media community.
Building upon the festival's theme of 'Celebrating Asian Storytelling', this edition will see the introduction of the Country-of-Focus programme -- a concerted spotlight on one Asian country, recognising its rich stories, talents and achievements. 2017's Country-of-Focus will be Indonesia.
Mr Robert Gilby, Chairman of the Singapore Media Festival Advisory Board and Managing Director of The Walt Disney Company (SEA), said," Introducing a Country-of-Focus programme is all about creating a bold platform to showcase the quality and variety of creativity originating from that country, and affirming its strong community of creators who continue to push boundaries and explore more collaborations between the country, Singapore and the rest of the world."
He added, "Southeast Asia is a region rich in potential for great storytellers, and we see the importance of amplifying these voices on the global stage. Singapore and Indonesia commemorate 50 years of bilateral and diplomatic relations in 2017, and in recent years Indonesia has proven to be a vibrant source of great content, talent and stories. It is timely that SMF marks its first Country-of-Focus with Indonesia."
This spotlight on Indonesia will thread across all SMF constituent events – the Asian Television Awards (ATA), Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF), ScreenSingapore (SS), Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF), and SMF Ignite. Award-winning Indonesian singer and actor, Afgan (Afgansyah Reza), will be headlining ATA's Awards Ceremony, and ATF is also expecting stronger participation from Indonesian talent and media businesses this year including Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV), Metro TV, and Media Nusantara Citra (MNC), Indonesia's largest media group and a long-time supporter of the event.
As SMF grows amid a constantly-evolving media landscape, the SMF Advisory Board, consisting of industry heavyweights from Singapore and the region, continue to lend their expertise towards charting the Festival's strategic direction. Mr Chang Long Jong, a media industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in the broadcast and digital domains across Asia, joins the Board this year. He also assumes the role of mm2 Asia's Chief Executive Officer from 3 April.
Chang shared, "Having witnessed the evolution of content development in Singapore and the region over the last three decades, it is very exciting to see how new and varied content, platforms and formats are being presented today, showcasing our Asian stories anew. I am honoured to be part of the passionate team working to elevate Asia's storytellers to a global audience through the Singapore Media Festival."
SINGAPORE SPOTLIGHT AT HONG KONG FILMART 2017 Exemplary of the diverse formats and presentation of Asian stories, the IMDA, will be leading a delegation of 23 Singapore companies to the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART), where it will present over 200 hours of film and television content across more than 60 titles.
2017 and Beyond (Film picks) | Upcoming film projects supported by the Singapore Film Commission
Blessed Reunion is an action film around a young female contract killer who returns to her hometown for her family's Chinese New Year Reunion with an ulterior motive – only to find out that she, the hunter, is also the hunted. The film, produced by Weiyu Films, is currently in the pre-production and development phase.
Wonder Boy is the biopic of acclaimed Singaporean singer-songwriter Dick Lee, loosely based on Lee's childhood years that led to the release of his first album. Set in early 1970s Singapore, the film centres on a musically-inclined social outcast who starts his coming-of-age journey after he forms a band – The Wonder Boys. Produced by Bert Pictures & mm2 Entertainment, the film is slated for release in August 2017.
One Headlight sets out to be a musical on an aspiring musician who goes on a road trip with his five-year-old niece, hoping to reunite her with her father. As they travel along the Taiwan coast to find clues about her father's whereabouts, they bond over classic old songs. The film is currently being developed by mm2 Entertainment.
2017 and Beyond (Television picks)
Let's Do It Together is an infotainment travel series featuring local communities from all over the world, including France, Finland, Guatemala, Nepal and Spain. Produced by August Pictures, the Mandarin programme spotlights the unique stories of ten different communities, and captures their community spirit as they come together to achieve various tasks.
Take A Break, produced by Mediacorp, is a brand new travel programme that picks the best short holiday destinations, sharing itineraries on unique and lesser-known places that are worth venturing over the weekend. There will be something for every traveller – whether a solo sojourn, a romantic trip for two, a getaway with friends or a family vacation.
Capturing the Asian voice | Fresh Asian-themed content
Jimami Tofu, a web telemovie by Singapore-based BananaMana Films, is a romance drama revolving around a Singaporean chef who finds himself in Okinawa, begging an old chef to teach him traditional Okinawan cooking, and a top Japanese food critic who travels to Singapore to discover Southeast Asian cuisine. The film is available in the trade market for the first time, and has received strong interest from international distributors around the world.
Happiness (R)evolution is a brand new documentary on Bhutan, looking into how, for a country famously known for its Gross National Happiness index, it is actually also one of the world's most isolated nations. As the Buddhism kingdom modernises and opens up to the world, will 'the happiest country in the world' remain contented and happy as they are? The show is produced by XTREME Media, and is currently in production.
Exciting Genres & Formats | Offering refreshing perspectives & innovative storytelling
Dream Defenders Virtual Reality invites audiences to go beyond the TV series and step into the universe of the Dream Defenders using Virtual Reality, getting them to run, fly, shoot and interact within the universe with friends and fans of the series from around the world. This interactive multiplayer VR game is currently being produced and developed by Tiny Island Productions.
Food Of Life, an infotainment series by WaWa Pictures explores the significant role of food in the same festive celebrations, but in different countries – the difference in the dishes served and their ways of celebration. Starting from Singapore, interesting comparisons will be made with that of different regions around the world, giving audiences a better understanding of traditional festivals and significant days across cultures.
New stories are also being developed and brought to fruition at the Hong Kong -- Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), taking place on the side lines of Hong Kong FILMART. This year, three upcoming film projects by Singapore filmmakers have been shortlisted for co-production ventures with the region's top film financiers, producers, bankers, distributors and buyers. They include:
I AM A BANANA!, directed by Honey B. Singh (Honeylove Films) and produced by Gabrielle Kelly, centres around an Asian girl living in Canada who has never embraced her Asian roots, and how she receives an unexpected ticket to Singapore where her late absentee father has left her an entire shophouse.
La Luna by M. Raihan Halim (Papahan Films), a film about a young woman who sets up a lingerie shop in a strict Muslim village and finds herself challenging age-old traditions, turning the lives of the villagers upside down.
The Rocks of Hua Lamphong (Taipan Films) is an action road trip film noir about an ex-soldier who is ordered to search for a girl to clear his debts but ends up escaping with her instead, inciting a manhunt from Bangkok to Singapore. It is directed by JD Chua and produced by Juan Foo.
Singapore content and talent continue to make waves around the world – Boo Junfeng's highly-acclaimed feature, Apprentice, has been nominated under two award categories at the 11th Asian Film Awards, taking place in Hong Kong on 21 March. The film's lead actor Fir Rahman has been nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, while editors Natalie Soh (Singapore) and Lee Chatametikool (Thailand) have been nominated under the Best Editing Award category.

36 , film color grading process is complete. This is my first experience in professional color-grading room. It's very exciting when we can select anything in the frame and change its color. it had not been long because my film got only 36 shots. The colorist is Umpornpol Yugala , the cinematographer of Wonderful Town [directed by Aditya Assarat] . Eternity [directed by Sivaroj Kongsakul] It's super great chance we got him help about this process. He pushed up and unveiled the quality of the image to the max as it can be. Thank you Lee Chatametikool and White Light company for this support.

Cemetery of Splendor (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2015)
Cast: Jenjira Pongpas, Banlop Lomnoi, Jarinpatta Rueangram, Petcharat Chaiburi, Sakda Kaewbuadee, Sujittraporn Wongsrikeaw, Bhattaratorn Senkraigul, Richard Abramson. Screenplay: Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Cinematography: Diego Garcia. Art direction: Pichan Muangduang. Film editing: Lee Chatametikool.
I feel handicapped by my ignorance of Southeast Asian history and culture when I watch Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films. I can appreciate them aesthetically but there are layers of significance hidden to me. Yet the more I watch his films, the more they draw me in, the more they linger in my thoughts, even stray ones when I'm not specifically concerned with trying to comprehend a particular film. His long takes, often with the key characters in the middle distance rather than in closeup, allow things to stray into the frame, the way a hen and her chickens do at one moment in . They allow the eye to wander, and to wonder at the details of setting. In another filmmaker these would be distractions, but since Weerasethakul is not urgently concerned with telling a story, the distractions provide texture and surprise. We Westerners are not used to films that force us to contemplate -- I don't think any filmmaker since the art-house heyday of Antonioni and Resnais has so carefully taken the time to give us extended contemplative moments as Weerasethakul does. Is it, I sometimes wonder, the "exotic" quality of his settings that keeps us from boredom as we watch scenes in which nothing much happens? But enough does happen in Cemetery of Splendor that I'm driven to keep watching and waiting for a theme or even a mood to resolve itself. Sometimes the things that do happen seem gratuitous, as when we watch a group of people in a park by a lake begin to swap places, moving from one bench to another, as in a dance or a game with no discernible rules. Sometimes they're strikingly beautiful, as in the slow dissolve from an Escher-like intersection of escalators to the light poles that stand beside the beds in the hospital. There is a wizardry in Cemetery of Splendor that gives it magic. But then I read that the film is in some ways a commentary on the politics of Thailand, and I'm brought up short by my own ignorance.
