36
A film by Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit
Thailand 2012 | 68 mins
Drama/Avant-garde Japanese
36 is the number of shots on an analogue roll of film. It’s also the number of shots in this film. Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit's debut feature is both a daring experiment in formalism and a delicate rumination on the nature of memory in a digital age.

"Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit's innovative film is an object lesson in what can be achieved without flashy camerawork."
Mike McCahill — The Guardian
"This striking debut will cast a spell on viewers who click into its languid and quietly simulating rhythms."
Richard Kuipers — Variety
