Bangkok is now showing the major respective of the late influential German filmmaker and media artist Harun Farocki from September 24 to October 15.

His first Southeast Asia’s major retrospective is highlighted at the Bangkok International Film Festival 2025 featuring a selection of 29 films gathering his works produced over nearly five decades, a special installation art and a master class workshop by Farocki’s fellow artist and filmmaker Antje Ehmann.

Entitled “Harun Farocki: Films and Installations, 1966–2014”, the retrospective is co-curated by Pathompong Manakitsomboon and Antje Ehmann. It’s organized by the festival in collaboration Goethe-Institut Thailand and Harun Farocki GbR.

“Harun Farocki (1944–2014) was a German filmmaker, media artist, and theorist whose work profoundly reshaped our understanding of how images function within social, political, and technological systems, and how they shape both ways of seeing and relations of power.” the curators note.

Viewing his critically acclaimed films at House Samyan starting from September 27 to October 3. The screening ranges from his early shorts and features to works originally conceived for installation.

At Geothe Institute’s Geother Saal, gamers and art lovers are invited to wear headphones and explore Farocki’s imaginative virtual world. The “Harun Farocki Parallel I–IV” (2012–14)” features 6-channel video installation running for 43 minutes on loop.

His final and landmark multi-channel installation features four-part work tracing the evolution of computer-generated imagery and reflects on how digital environments reshape reality and experience. This marks the first time the installation is being exhibited in Southeast Asia hosted by Geothe Thailand. The show on view from September 24 to October 15.

On September 28, co-curator and filmmaker Antje Ehmann hosts a master class and talk on “Labour in a Single Shot” at the Geothe’s library.

Ehmann introduces the global project she initiated with Farocki in 2011, documenting contemporary forms of work through single-take videos.

According to the curatorial statement:

“Harun Farocki and Antje Ehmann’s Eine Einstellung zur Arbeit (Labour in a Single Shot) grew out of Farocki’s response to this first film. Together with filmmakers and artists in fifteen cities across five continents (and in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut), Farocki and Ehmann undertook a three-year exploration of the notion of work in today's world. Inspired by the form of the Lumière film, they set themselves strict limitations: the films to be created were to be no longer than two minutes, they had to be about work, and they could not contain a single cut. This constraint facilitated a precise examination of the working process, its choreography, and the uniqueness of each activity.

After Harun Farocki passed away in 2014, Antje Ehmann continued the project with different filmmaker colleagues in nine additional cities. The globally oriented archive, which now consists of over 600 videos, assumes an almost encyclopedic character by documenting the realities of work under global capitalism.”

Time, space, light, shadow, sound and moving images are coexisted in “Real Time, Really” exhibition at Thai Film Archive running from September 10 to 21.

The exhibition about animation, a time-based medium is part of Siam International Animation Festival held during September 10-14 at the same venue and during September 15-21 at Alliance Française and Rungsit University’s Digital Art Faculty.

The show is curated by acclaimed creative studio Eyedropper Fill, in collaboration with Nat Setthana, a Bangkok-based art practitioner with a focus on the ‘situationness’ of the medium.

Designed under three keywords: speculative, imaginative and non-decisive, exhibition designer Nat explains about the show that:

“Supposing that reality is not something that exists independently, but rather a sum of relations among various objects—each with its own reality—real time is not something universal but relative. Real Time, Really? speculates on the real time in animation through its materiality. The exhibition pieces together other real times that the animator brings into being, frame by frame.”

Interestingly, lighting, shadow and reflection are the key visuals in Nat’s exhibition design. Enter to the exhibition, viewers get new immersive experience with sight, sound and interactive.

The show brights together interesting time-based artworks by five Asian artists.

The show highlights thought-provoking artwork
“Process of Twin Rings, Nested Skin” by acclaimed Japanese artist Fukumi Nakazawa. The show features beautiful stop motion drawings, glued drawings as an object d’ art and impressive animation. Her animation questions about relationship between body and tools and how development of modern technology affects to our society.

Nearby is a minimal animation portraying flying thin lines onto hanging white screen by Thai animator Thanut Rujitanont. The designer sets the sharp grid of white light line on the ground and the wall which created 3-D effect to the work.
“Entitled ‘In Frames, We Wander’, the animation is a time-based collection of kinetic force, both within and extending outward from mark-making drawn from life—where the past, present, and future are perceived as potential in motion.” Nat explains.

Nawin Nuthong’s massive installation “Shrink, the leaf” is set as the center piece. The series of colorful animated film on light panels are displayed along with his shadowed objects including a tiny green leaf - a metaphor of Thailand’s semi democracy.

Tsai Yi-Chin’s immersive installation “From Autumn to Winter” depicts vivid colors changing on time onto three gigantic screens.
“The work explores direct animation experiments on analog film, capturing the shifting forms and colors of plants during the autumn-to-winter transition,” Nat explains
On the opening audiences can play self-directed animation from her reversal films.

Set in the dark room is Chanya Hetayothin’s animated film
“Mycelial Reverie” depicting an abstract journey through the meditative rhythm of fungi, where decay becomes a gesture toward a new beginning.
Sitting in a dark room watching loops of fungi’s life on the hanging screen and its reflection onto one mirror wall along with the soundtrack created an immersive experience.

The show wraps on September 21, 2025.

HOP Hub Of Photography at Seacon Square presents its new HOPESHOWCASE series “Only Partially, Nat Setthana with a souvenir from Jahanzeb Haroon” at its Hop Club Photobook Library from August 28 to September 28, 2025.

Known for his photographic situation practices, emerging artist Nat made his debut solo exhibition “Photopsia” curated by Suphon Niamkamnoet at 100 Tonson in December 2024. He then participated in a group show “This page is intentionally left ___.” curated by emerging Yoonglai Collective at Bangkok Kunsthalle during June 13 to August 17, 2025. Nat also exhibited in a group show “The Immeasurable & World’s End” curated by Chitti Kasemkitvata at JWD Art Space in 2022.

Nat often challenges viewers’ perception of viewing things and notion of what’s you see. His practices focuses on experimenting with photographic and moving image installation.

Known for his photographic situation, this time he sets his site-specific showcase in this photography library where he places his own books, photographs and colletable items among plenty of photography textbooks, photo journals and catalogues.

Nat writes about his current art project that:

“The showcase features a set of photographic objects: two photographs, two books, a roll of film, a glass shard and
a Claude glass (a sourvenir). Temporarily added to the library’s collection, the selected items become part of
the existing curated set—a biome, perhaps—for the user to browse and inspect. No longer
distinct objects per se, they dissolve into the space for the time being, lending themselves to the library, for once, rather than the other way around.”

The library is on the second floor of Seacon Square in Mun Mun Zone.

Spend times to browse Nat’s showcase and read a lots of interesting books until September 28, 2025.

Alongside, Prang Sayasilpi presents a food station serving a dish inspired by the works of Nat Setthana, Anusorn Tanyapalit, and Theetat Thankijjanukij. Together, ingredients inspired by the three artists form a complementary set, combining into a distinct, unified flavor experience.

Chumpon Apisuk, one of Thailand’s performance art pioneers, states “lecture performance” today August 8, 3pm at his new “Chumpon Apisuk’s Lifeworld: An Archival Exhibition” at Friends of Bacc Room on the 6th floor.

Curated by Kasamaponn Saengsuratham, the exhibition is part of the broader research-based initiative, Archiving the Performance Art and Lifeworld of Chumpon Apisuk, dedicated to preserving and activating the legacy of one of Thailand’s pioneering performance artists.

Chumpon has been introducing happening art to Thai contemporary art scene since the late 1980s. He uses body art to reflects socio-political and environmental issues. Chumpon and his wife Chantavipa co-founded alternative art space “Baan Tuek” in Nonthaburi in mid 1990s and then it became prominent international art hub for performance artists social activists around the globe. At his 77, Chumpon is still active. He co-founded Nan Art Fest in his hometown Nan and performs live at other art festivals throughout the kingdom.

The exhibition features his drawings, historical photographs, archival materials like exhibition posters and art objects used in his performances.

“The project aims to collect, classify, and create an archive of Chumpon Apisuk’s body of work while encouraging engagement with his art through a bilingual online database, a board game, and a variety of public programs. It seeks to promote knowledge exchange, learning, and the development of regional networks within the context of performance art. It also offers a model for creating archives of performance art and shared imagination in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the database contributes to building an art historical knowledge base that has never been compiled or made publicly accessible before.

In addition, Chumpon Apisuk’s archive reflects the broader landscape of performance art in Thailand, the the formation of artist collectives, the development of independent art spaces, and the establishment of performance art festivals, while also mapping regional and transnational networks particularly within Southeast Asia that have shaped performance art as a critical and socially engaged practice. Chumpon Apisuk’s archive further reflects this broader landscape, encompassing the networks and organizations of performance art in Thailand, Southeast Asia, and internationally,” notes curator.

The show runs through September 6, 2025.

Free film screenings are held on weekend. This long weekend August 8-10 has special screenings and series of discussions.

On August 9 from 9.30am to 10.30am, Asst Prof Palita Chunsaengchan and Asst Prof Chairat Polmuk discuss on the issue of “Back to the dream: reincanation of cinema and literature in Siam”.

On August 10 from 10am to noon, there is a p***c program on “Slow Panel: Looking Back to a Bright New Future” led by moving image artist Montika Kham-on. This program is part of her post-graduated paper under supervisor Prof Karina Griffith of Institute for Art in Context, University of the Arts Berlin.

When the sky become dark, head to Phimai Wittaya School’s Pajit Auditorium for watching Midnight Screening.

Programs are

Friday, August 8, 7pm to 5.15am
The program “Imagining How to Live with the Midnight Monsoon” invites audiences to engage with the question: How do we live with this present?—a question that extends beyond the physical into the spiritual, social, and narrative realms.

Through screenings of films and moving images, followed by a public discussion under the theme “The Legacy of Censorship and the Freedom to Create Cinema”, the night features: Tanwarin Sukkhapisit, filmmaker from Korat, Pisal Pattanapeeradech, actor from Shakespeare Must Die, Samanrat Kanjanavanit (Ing K.), Director of Shakespeare Must Die. Moderated by Warat Bureephakdee and Weerapat Sakolvaree.

In a society saturated with violence and violations of rights and freedom, the second night of the festival becomes a hidden realm—a space where every suppressed dream is invited to breathe through cinema. This evening reflects on creative freedom, reclaiming the right to imagine through film.

Together, we look beyond the scars left by Cold War cinema, questioning the inherited legacy of censorship, erasure, and political silencing. Through homage and resistance, we reclaim the right to voice, to create, and to challenge history—allowing film to become both a form of mourning and a call to freedom.

Friday, August 9, 6pm to 5.40am
The program: “From Local Conversations to Global (International and Regional)”

An all-night screening program that invites audiences to journey through the eyes of filmmakers across Southeast Asia—including Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia—alongside selected international films.

The evening also features a live online conversation with Danech San, filmmaker and member of Cambodia’s independent film collective Anti-Archive. Together, we will explore how grassroots collaboration has become a vital force in shaping local film ecosystems and empowering new generations of filmmakers.

On this penultimate night of the festival, we turn our attention to questions of global and local cinema: How do we define “the international”? What happens when visual languages are adapted through localization?And how might Thai cinema forge meaningful paths toward international dialogue—not only in terms of industry, but also as a gesture of coexistence?

This program asks not only how films travel, but how they build community in times of conflict, nurturing shared futures across borders.

The festival runs through August 15. Check out film’s screenings and other activities at Phimailongweek พิมายฬองวีค
