As part of the “Animistic Apparatus” project curated by guest programmers May Adadol Ingawanij and Julian Ross, Anocha Suwichakornpong, an internationally noted female filmmaker from Thailand, shows two works from the collection of the Fukuoka City Public Library.

In 1976, many students and civil-rights activists were killed by the police during a protest gathering at Thammasat University in Bangkok. By The Time It Gets Dark starts with footage of a certain filmmaker’s interview with a woman who participated in the event, and proceeds along several fragmented narratives, while memories and places related to past and present circumstances in Thailand gradually mix.
