RAILWAY SLEEPERS
| FEATURE FILM |
'Railway Sleepers' explores the close connection between Thai people and Thai railway,
a celebration and record of what it is like to live in Thailand today.
Through various activities and scenes inside and outside the moving vehicles,
the film turns the train into the microcosm of life in Thailand during this changing time.
With mundane talk, onboard walks, outward gazes, exchanged glances, sitting, and sleeping,
the film takes the audience to experience a 2-day-2-night trip from the north to the south.
As the vehicle’s rhythm synchronizes with the mechanism of a movie camera,
the long history of the Thai train is encapsulated in this moving entity, while we become passengers of light.
