The films by Thai filmmaker Korakrit Arunanondchai are clearly influenced by the environment in which he grew up. He combines animistic myths with (YouTube) tutorials and personal documentation with video fragments that refer to the global consumer society. The film With History in a Room Filled with people with Funny Names 4 shows story lines that mutually enter into an associative relationship with each other. The work investigates how our personal experiences and memories are influenced by technology and how we – also together with that technology – can come into contact with a spirited world.
