The Other Is Not Elsewhere, curated by Rosalia Namsai Engchuan, Moving Image Curator at Bangkok Kunsthalle, brings together works by Oat Montien, Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo, Bart Seng Wen Long, Yagwang, Korakrit Arunanondchai and Alex Gvojic, and Tuguldur Yondonjamts, tracing worlds made through intrusion and expulsion towards the promise and desire of belonging. The screening will be introduced by Stefano Rabolli Pansera, Founder and Artistic Director of the St. Moritz Art Film Festival and Founding Director of Bangkok Kunsthalle and Khao Yai Art Forest.

NOWNESS return this year with two evenings of screenings, exploring contemporary Asian perspectives and the diverse voices of its diasporas. Across three curated lineups — with exclusive VIP premieres, and a permanent installation — the selection draws from signature series such as Private View, Constructed Views, Raw Materials, and NOWNESS Experiments. Featuring artists such as Bharti Kher, Ding Yi, and Torlarp Larpjaroensook, the program examines themes of memory, materiality, architecture, and spatial identity.

Presented by Asia Now, this moving-image programme gathers five films by Asian artists exploring the intersections of tradition, musicality, community, and illegibility. Featuring works by Choy Ka Fai, Chris Zhongtian Yuan, Eunji Cho and Mayuko Inui, the selection moves through rhythmic choreography, sonic landscapes, and fragmented archives. Together, these artists reframe cultural heritage and collective memory, embracing abstraction and ambiguity to disrupt conventional narratives while opening space for resonance, resistance, and felt understanding across moving images.
