This pulsating celebration of togetherness is a much-needed emotional antidote to these years of pandemic isolation. If Korakrit Arnunanondchai’s Songs for dying (IFFR 2022) is about the departure of the soul, his latest collaboration with Alex Gvojic is about spirits finding bodies and re-entering the world. Thunderous drumming, screeching feedback, and a mystical narration by musician Zsela bring warmth to distant human bodies from Thailand to New York, in rituals that rejoice in collective existence.

This film takes the rescue mission of 13 kids that were stuck in a flooded cave in Northern Thailand as a central focus to examine how the force of propaganda, spirituality, Royal History storytelling, Cold War politics in Southeast Asia and localized beliefs come together to create a new myth of representation for everyone to believe and take part in.
