Fireworks (Archives) poster

Released in 2014, Fireworks (Archives) is a notable film directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, running about 7 minutes.

What it’s about. This film depicts Bunleua Sulilat’s temple/sculpture garden 'Sala Keoku', located in northern Thailand. Passages of blackness sporadically dissolve under the fitful internal illumination of sparklers, which light up to reveal Sulilat’s unorthodox temple populated with a fantastical concrete menagerie of beasts and figures; the sculptures range from the broad, whale-like contours of a frog’s face, to a cavalcade of dogs on mopeds, to a pair of skeletons partially embracing as if sitting for a double portrait. These images are interspersed with those of an older Thai couple mysteriously wandering around the temple like wraiths, the woman’s plodding progress hampered by the use of crutches.

Who’s in it. Fireworks (Archives) stars Jenjira Pongpas and Banlop Lomnoi.
