Tulapop Saenjaroen\u2019s darkly funny and breathtakingly original films offer incisive commentaries on work, leisure, tourism, and self-care in today\u2019s relentless culture of self-improvement. Borrowing elements from social media, meditation apps, virtual assistants, and cinema history, Saenjaroen\u2019s works also ponder the ways proliferating media imagery shapes our inner and outer lives. In the award-winning\u00a0A Room with a Coconut View<\/em>\u00a0(2018), artificial intelligences attempt to explore the Thai resort town of Bangsaen through video tours and tourist snaps before going off the existential rails. In\u00a0People on Sunday<\/em>\u00a0(2020), Saenjaroen considers the labor of leisure in this homage to the 1930 German film\u00a0Menschen Am Sonntag<\/em>.\u00a0 Squish!\u00a0<\/em>(2021) meditates on the self through lurid and liquid forms, filtered through the history of Thai animation.\u00a0Notes from the Periphery<\/em>\u00a0(2021) explores the peripheral spaces of labor, trade, and everyday political resistance in the port city of Laem Chabang in Chon Buri, Thailand.\u00a0In Thai and English with English subtitles.<\/em><\/p>\n
