Sulphur Spring wins Film of the Month judged by Apitchatpong Weerasethakul




Sulphur Spring has won the Film of the Month at Shooting People judged by Apichatpong Weerasethakul and we couldn't be happier. Here is what he had to say about it.


"This film is like a painting. It forms a canvas from rocks, snow, water, wind, and clouds. Humanity is an intervention that tries to blend in with nature. It breathes in the wind. It tries to survive the cold air by touching, as if the wrinkles and the memories exude the warmth. I can watch this film over and over. I don’t understand it but it is just fascinating. The camera work invites us into the ritual, we are part of the alienation. The only thing I wish is that it was longer, so that there is the time for it to lend its weight onto the people inside the screen and those who watch them."

- Apichatpong Weerasethakul
