Lung Neaw Visits His Neighbours


sintesi del comunicato stampa

In the monthly exhibition ContemporAsian, MoMA showcases films that get little exposure outside of their home countries or on the international festival circuit, but which engage the various styles, histories, and changes in Asian cinema. Presented in special weeklong engagements, the films in the series include recent independent gems by both new and established filmmakers whose work represent the rapidly transforming visual culture of the region. Not only are audiences given the rare chance to enjoy these undistributed films on the big screen-they also experience the diversity and richness of Asian cinema in all its many forms. This exhibition is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, and Jenny He, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Film. Lung Neaw Visits His Neighbours. 2011. Thailand/Mexico. Directed by Rirkrit Tiravanija. In Tiravanija's second feature, Lung Neaw, a retired farmer, lives in a tranquil village in Chiang Mai, far from the recent political turmoil in Bangkok. At a moment when many people are demanding equality, opportunity, and democracy, we see in Lung Neaw an existence marked by compassion for his environment and his fellow villagers. The film offers a contemplative look at one man's humble dialogue with his surroundings. In Thai; English subtitles. 154 min (image: Lung Neaw Visits His Neighbours. 2011.
