Your chance to make a film in the Amazon jungle is here.
The modern master of Thai cinema, Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Uncle Boonme Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Tropical Malady, Memoria), is holding a special 10-day lab in the Peruvian Amazon jungle this June—and he’s inviting you along.
Fifty selected filmmakers from all over the world will descend upon the Inkaterra Field Guides station in Tambopata, Peru, to engage in a once-in-a-lifetime filmmaking workshop. The methodology from this workshop was developed first by Abbas Kiarostami and then heralded by Werner Herzog, and now it’s Weerasethakul’s turn at the helm.
“I always think of a film as a body. What one as a filmmaker wants to do with all the parts —with that collection of images and sounds that make up a film, which are its organs— is to give life to that body, turn it into a living organism.”
