Apichatpong Weerasethakul currently works as a director of independent films and has an active role in international film festivals and exhibitions. His approach to filmmaking that involves not professional actors but ordinary people and their everyday behavior and emotions shot in an impromptu manner sits on the dividing line between fiction and documentary. His ability to convey a vivid, fresh sense of reality is highly regarded. In his film My Mother's Garden where he has incorporated animation into documentary film, we are shown a series of sensuous living things that exist in the tropical South such as the orchids that bloom in his mother's house, and sparkling gems. The relationships that emerge from them seem to have a kind of organic motion.
