If one would have to describe the atmosphere of Taiki Sakpisit’s feature debut “The Edge of Daybreak” in one word, “unheimlich” would definitely come to mind. This film combines stunning images, an unsettling narrative and sinister sounds to submerge the viewer in a troubled family history. As such it is a perfect blend of the two aspects of his career as both a visual artist and a filmmaker.
“The Edge of Daybreak” is screening at the Across Asia Film Festival
The story of “The Edge of Daybreak” is inspired by true events from Thai history, namely the oppression of the student uprisings in the 1970s and the 2006 military coup. However, Taiki Sakpisit uses them rather to refer to certain emotions than to visualize the events themselves. What interests him is the impact of a political crisis and the violence and separation that follow, on the family life of those involved.
