About the Work
Partly inspired by The Wizard of Oz, and made while Anocha Suwichakornpong was still in film school, Graceland was the first Thai short film to be officially selected by Cannes Film Festival. One night in Bangkok, an Elvis impersonator called Jon meets a mysterious woman. Together, they embark on a dreamlike journey to the foreign land of the human heart.
