Taking the notion of “poetic justice” as a point of departure, the session will take an interest in the intersections between fictional filmmaking and real-life political events in national histories.Why and how do filmmakers infuse our sensitive and often subdued pasts into their own narratives? Can any balance be redressed through the avenue of fictional imaginings? What are the ethical considerations involved as a creator and what can the poetics of cinema possibly achieve through this process?Join guests and film directors Anocha Suwichakornpong (Thailand), Edmund Yeo (Malaysia), Green Zeng (Singapore) and Yosep Anggi Noen (Indonesia) as we seek to traverse along the real, the hypothetical and the ideal informed by their creative decisions.About REFRAMEAn initiative by the Asian Film Archive, Reframe is a series that aims to bring together diverse audiences and the film community at large through an innovative range of programmes, encouraging dialogue and examining topics surrounding cinema and the moving image.By asking the hard questions and re-looking at trends and issues critically, the series will construct meaningful frameworks that bring forth multi-perspective viewpoints and an increased appreciation of film and culture.Organised by Asian Film ArchiveSupported by The Arts House
