Apichatpong Weerasethakul works across film, video installation, and exhibition, developing a practice rooted in Thai folklore, personal memory, and the physical sensation of tropical landscape and heat. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) won the Palme d'Or at Cannes - the first Thai film to do so. He works independently, outside the studio system, often with non-professional actors in his home region of northeastern Thailand.
