About the East Lansing Film Society Series

The East Lansing Film Society Film Series was created in the fall of 1998 when the closing of the only art house movie theater in Greater Lansing, The Odeon, closed.

The ELFS Film Series gives you the chance to see intelligent, creative independent films that are offered in major cities but do not have a venue in this area.

The East Lansing Film Series is brought to you by the East Lansing Film Festival a non-profit organization that holds a world-class film festival each March for four days in Wells Hall.

Come enjoy films that stimulate, enthrall, amuse and enlighten!

UNCLE BOONMEE WHO RECALLS HIS PAST LIVES

Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul

114 minutes 

In Thai with English subtitles
     

"It's a film that will linger in your thoughts and dreams for a long time after waking from its intoxicating slumber."

Winner of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival Palme D'Or, Uncle Boonmee who Recalls His  Past Lives is a highly original meditation on reincarnation and past lives.  Uncle Boonmee, suffering from a fatal kidney disorder, has opted to spend his last days in the jungle of Thailand with his loved ones. As death approaches, he comes face to face with the incarnations of his past lives. At first, the non-linear plot and slow patches may be disconcerting but its moments of profundity will affect you for a lifetime.

This film has won numerous awards, is a critic favorite and is directed by a master Thai filmmaker. I am taking a chance bringing this unfamiliar film but I wanted to present something out of the ordinary and a film that you might never have a chance to see.
