One of contemporary cinema’s most beguiling artists, Apichatpong Weerasethakul infuses the mundane with otherworldly mystery, exploring the slippery nature of time and consciousness in surreal films like TROPICAL MALADY, CEMETERY OF SPLENDOR, and the Palme d’Or–winning UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES. For this original documentary, Canadian actor and filmmaker Connor Jessup followed Apichatpong on a location-scouting trip to the Colombian jungle, in a rare glimpse at the director’s creative world that delves into the dreams and desires that fuel his work.
