Dreaming of Nothing with Apichatpong Weerasethakul (YouTube) 1h02' (Berlinale Talents 2021) 4 march 2021 Dreaming is certainly a source of creative power for Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the Thai director of to date ten feature films ("Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives", "Cemetery of Splendour") and countless shorts and art installations, whose ghostly storyworlds (sub)consciously oscillate between the states of waking and sleeping. Taking time off from the work on his newest film "Memoria", Apichatpong joins Berlinale Talents to engage in a collective dream about 'nothing', an ultimate challenge for many of us, who have been trained and built to accumulate - things, memories, films, knowledge. In conversation with Juan Diaz Bohorquez, they will explore how nothingness can be rethought and challenge the preconceptions of what we dream of.
