The more things change ?
The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, March 2008

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Governments come and
go. So do coups. The West keeps drawing its roadmaps, but whos driving?
For some, having no elected government is a terrifying state of affairs.
For others, its just business as usual.

Change is not impossible. Its constant. Nothing is permanent. Traditional
wisdom ? especially in Buddhism ? says that time is cyclical, a rhythm of
renewal and regeneration. But modernitys clock is ticking. Its history
islinear, irreversible, a path towards a different future. Will our
history be one of progress, or will it be looped?

Political, social, historical, biological, cosmic? What are the cycles
that give shape to contemporary life? Can art interrupt them, or should it
work with them, go along with them?

The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival is seeking films and other
screen-based work that explores the rhythms and cycles of contemporary
life.
All genres and styles will be considered, including experimental film and
video, documentary, art film, animation, machinima, etc.

Experimental film is not just about technical innovation ? its about new
voices and new perspectives. Its about yesterday and tomorrow. It can
articulate the furtive connections between the ordinary and the
extraordinary, the personal and the public.

BEFF5 is organised by Kick the Machine, Project 304 and the Thai Film
Foundation, and is also supported by Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific.
