## Resource

It’s a Friday bonus episode! And we’re joined by writer-director Bretten Hannam, whose new film At the Place of Ghosts opens across Canada today, for a look at Apitchatpong Weerasethakul’s beguiling 2004 breakout Tropical Malady. Your genial host Norm Wilner is sorry about all the table noises, we recorded this one in-person during TIFF.
