The Bangkok Experimental Film Festival (BEFF) was founded in 1997 as one of the first major projects undertaken by the non-profit artists and curators initiative Project 304, with the aim of rectifying the lack of local platforms for experimental film. The festival’s co-founders are the renowned filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul and curator Gridthiya Gaweewong, both of whom remain actively involved as BEFF’s co-directors.
