Reading

The Sleep Cinema Hotel For nearly 50 years, the Rotterdam Film Festival has shown unusual and exciting film projects from around the world. The organizers of the festival are creative and positive people. For example, when award-winning film director Apichatpong Weerasethakul wanted to show a film that lasted for more than 24 hours, the organizers said: 'No problem.' Apichatpong also wanted to create a hotel inside the cinema. Could the cinema provide beds and showers, and give the guests breakfast? 'No problem.' The result of this discussion is the Sleep Cinema Hotel at this year's Rotterdam Film Festival. Six small beds are arranged in front of a cinema screen. The beds are on a metal structure, so they are above the floor, like birds' nests. Guests are encouraged to spend all night here. If they wake up, they'll watch Apichatpong Weerasethakul's film for a while and then go back to sleep. The film has a lot of images of the sea and rivers. The sound is also important. All of the sounds in the film were recorded in Apichatpong's home country: Thailand. Of course, there are lots of water noises, but there are also the songs of small birds. And the screen is a circle, so it looks like a head, or the sun or moon. Apichatpong is familiar with sleeping in cinemas. He says: 'I always fall asleep during my movies…and during other people's movies. The best cinema is inside your head.' He is interested in what happens when people sleep and especially in their dreams. This is one of the reasons why sleeping people are a common sight in his previous films. The hotel has a dream book where guests can write about the dreams they had in the Sleep Cinema Hotel. Perhaps surprisingly, so far, most guests have said they slept very well in the cinema. People without tickets for the hotel can watch the film – and the sleeping guests – from the balcony area. Hurry! The project is only open for five days.
