» Under the unpredictable Bangkok sky in the late afternoon of last Saturday, I stopped by Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park) in Chatuchak district. Even though I haven't visited here for many years, while strolling around, I found this massive park still looks as beautiful as I remember.

This has prompted the film archives to ponder their function and respond to new ways images and memories are recorded, stored, accessed and democratised by not any specific entity but by humanity as a whole.
