A fictional tribute to the love and work of Apichatpong’s parents (both doctors), Syndromes and a Century spans two hospital settings separated by 40 years. A painfully shy young man courts a doctor, who is herself drawn to an orchid expert, and a young monk has an unexplained attraction to a dentist. Exploring the rhythms of attraction and hospital life, the film also draws upon an experience of architecture ingrained into the filmmaker’s memories of his parents’ workplace. Syndromes and a Century is one of seven films commissioned by the New Crowned Hope Festival, part of Vienna's Mozart Year in 2006. Its exhibition as part of APT5 is an Australian premiere which follows the world premiere in September 2006, in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
Free event. Screening followed by Q&A session with the filmmaker. For more information click here.
