Taiki Sakpisit, a Thai filmmaker and visual artist, explores the underlying tensions, conflicts and the sense of anticipation in contemporary Thailand, through precise and sensorial audio-visual assemblage. He uses the techniques and history of cinema to unpack Thailand’s troubled past, using those to embed a resounding political commitment in his films.

Dream Sequence delves into the intertwined processes of remembrance, trauma, and exile, unfolding like a prolonged episodic dream. The film begins in Antony, a Paris suburb where Pridi Banomyong lived during his exile from 1970 to 1983. It constructs a metaphysical dreamscape around the Banomyong family home, capturing the remnants of a past era before the property transferred to Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, politician and leader of the Progressive Movement. Through a mysterious interplay of shadow and light, the film poetically explores their existential struggles and spiritual quests, seamlessly merging physical and mental landscapes. In its second part, the film transitions to Thailand, unfolding an oneiric landscape where trauma is framed within the physical terrain, mirroring a kaleidoscopic feast of delusion, desperation, oppression, and perpetual nightmares rooted in Thailand's flawed democracy. As viewers traverse the blurred lines between reality and the subconscious, Dream Sequence invites deep reflection on the human psyche and our collective historical and political consciousness.

Sakpisit’s works have been presented at numerous exhibitions and film festivals, including the 14th Gwangju Biennale, the 14th Mercosur Biennial, Internationalen Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Dallas Contemporary, and Kunstverein Göttingen, among others. His feature film, The Edge of Daybreak, which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, won the FIPRESCI award.
