Synopsis

Nocturnal Fabulations is an essay in intercessing. This is not a book that is simply 'about' Apichatpong Weerasethakul, though it does engage his work in detail. It is a book that deeply questions what else might be at stake in setting up the conditions for collaboration across two genres - cinema and writing.

This collective project by Érik Bordeleau, Toni Pape, Ronald Rose-Antoinette and Adam Szymanski is animated by a shared curiosity in the pragmatics of fabulation and its speculative gesture of bringing forth a people to come. In an encounter with Apichatpong's cinematic dreamscape, the concepts of ecology, vitality and opacity emerge to articulate an ethos of fabulation that deframes experience, recomposes subjectivity and unfixes time.

About this title

Review:

"This collaboration or 'intercession' succeeds not only in offering lively interpretations of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films but also in breathing new life into the field sometimes called 'film-philosophy' by plunging into the complex plurality of the relation between cinema and thought." - Thomas LaMarre
