International Film: Cemetery of Splendor

The International Film Series features Cemetery of Splendor a 2015 film from Thailand. Rather mysteriously, a group of soldiers who are excavating a building site all fall ill with a narcolepsy-like condition. Keng, a volunteer caring for the soldiers who has psychic abilities, believes that the epidemic is tied to the disturbance of an ancient burial ground of former kings. The soldiers become living ghosts of the dead and illusions of the mind are readily mistaken for reality.  Please note that the Friday, March 18 screening at 3 p.m. will take place in Jepson 118.
