About

Cinema, like tourism, can greedily consume locales, as Ben Rivers and Anocha Suwichakornpong demonstrate in their haunting journey through Krabi, Thailand.

The international fame, and subsequent environmental devastation, that Danny Boyle’s The Beach 2000 brought to this idyllic location plague Krabi, 2562. Ethereal scenes convey the beauty and grit of the tourist town through a mix of documentary and fiction captured in Super 16mm, while a location scout has a hidden agenda behind her adventures in the area. Distinctions between epochs fall away in this poetic travelogue, as spiritual worlds chafe and meld with commercial aspirations.
