POLLUTING PARADISE (Germany) 98mins. Dir: Fatih Akin. Camburnu is a small mountain village in northeastern Turkey. Thanks to the Black Sea’s climate, the villagers have lived for generations off tea cultivation and fishing in harmony with the nature surrounding
them. But this idyllic environment is threatened by the government’s decision 10 years ago to build a garbage landfill directly above the village. Despite protests, a waste facility has been built that does not comply with security and building standards. Out of Competition Salle du 60eme
Weerasethakul. ‘Mekong Hotel’ is a portrait of a hotel near the Mekong River in the north-east of Thailand. The river there marks the border between Thailand and Laos. In the bedrooms and terraces, Apichatpong held a rehearsal with his crew for a movie that he wrote years ago called ‘Ecstasy Garden’. The film shuffles different realms, fact and fiction, expressing the bonds between a vampire-like mother and her daughter, the young lovers and the river. ‘Mekong Hotel’ — since it was shot at the time of the heavy flooding in Thailand — also weaves in layers of demolition, politics, and a drifting dream of the future. Out of Competition Salle du 60eme
