n A Life Beyond Boundaries, Benedict Anderson describes how his renewed, post-retirement interest in film found expression in an enthusiasm for the work of "the young Thai genius," Apichatpong Weerasethakul and eventually a friendship with the artist/filmmaker himself (who would design the cover for a Thai edition of Imagined Communities).
In June, we republished Anderson's essay on the Thai reception of Apichatpong's Tropical Malady (2004). Below, we present a photograph taken by Apichatpong and offered in memory of Anderson.
