Apichatpong Weerasethakul's 2024 Engagements Span Film Festivals, Gallery Exhibitions, and Workshops
Apichatpong Weerasethakul's work was featured in a festival at Lincoln Center in New York in May 2024, showcasing his films from Mysterious Object at Noon (2000) to Memoria (2021). Earlier in 2024, Kiang Malingue exhibited over seven hours of his short films across its Hong Kong locations, later presenting them at Art Basel Hong Kong and other fairs. In August 2024, he conducted a ten-day workshop for emerging filmmakers in the jungles of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Plans for 2025 include a film project in Sri Lanka inspired by Arthur C. Clarke, who co-wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and lived there. His gallery presence has grown alongside his cinematic output, with Memoria starring Tilda Swinton and set in Colombia.
