Film Information

From the extraordinary mind of Palme D’or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and starring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton, comes a bewildering drama about a Scottish woman, who, after hearing a loud ‘bang’ at daybreak, begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome while traversing the jungles of Colombia.

Memoria is a profoundly serene, dreamlike film, inspired by the Thai director’s own memories and expressions combined with a historical excavation of Latin America.

Memoria will never receive a virtual release and can only be seen in theaters, making its rounds throughout the country over a continuous string of short engagements. With over 100 special engagements across multiple cities each week, Memoria will play in arthouse cinemas as well as series of non-traditional venues like pop-up drive-ins, museums, art galleries, university screenings and outdoor events.

Please note: There will be no trailers shown before Memoria . At the request of director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the film will be preceded by a silent 10-minute pre-show presentation.

Reviews

“Here it may be worth noting that MEMORIA is the beneficiary of an appropriately experimental release strategy devised by its distributor, Neon. (It opens this Friday for a weeklong run at the Nuart and will play at other Los Angeles theaters in coming weeks.) The idea is for the movie to play exclusively and eternally on the big screen, one theater and one city at a time; it will never be made available on DVD or home-streaming platforms. When this plan was announced months ago, some dismissed it as elitist — hardly the first time that word has been hurled in Weerasethakul’s direction. Others, myself included, couldn’t help but applaud Neon for treating “Memoria” as not just another chunk of streamable content, but rather as a work of art that demands to be approached on its own terms and experienced under the best possible conditions.”
