The Anthem
Apichatpong Weerasethakul TH, 2006, 5', SD video
In Thailand there is a Royal Anthem before the feature presentation. The purpose is to honour the King. One of the rituals imbedded in our society is to give a blessing to something or someone before certain ceremonies. I would like to propose a Cinema Anthem that praises and blesses the approaching feature for each screening. An older lady will perform a ritual channelling energy to the audience to give them a clear mind. The ritual will ensure that after the feature film ends, life the outside world will be better.
