Apostrophe

“Only your son knew it best. At the very last moment he passed away, we were still loving each other.” A testimonial written by a daughter-in-law regarding the tragedy in 1984. As a wife, Thida would stand for her innocence against the accusation of intentional murder. As a mother, Lady Valai would do anything at any cost to redeem the lost of her son.

Once the death of someone is narrated its griefs and pain by those who still live, what else we could witness amongst many versions of narrative that overlaps in one space.

Mother

"Mother is a hybrid of fiction and documentary. It is a portrait of the complicated, fragile, painful and realistic relationship between my mother and me. In the past, she once tried to commit suicide. Though the action was failed, she was disabled. Since the incident, my family has changed forever, and the film is my attempt to explore and understand her, myself and my family. To put it in a wider context, I analogically portrayed how Thai middle class family effected by Asian financial crisis in 1997 and explored the representation of family in Thai culture through the process of making this film."

Big Ears Listen with Feet

Artist-filmmakers Bêka & Lemoine take us to Bangkok on a one day hectic journey through the chaotic concrete jungle of the South-Asian megacity. Led by the moving personal story of Boonserm Premthada, one of today's most important Thai architects, the film unfolds through a free wander, punctuated by stunning encounters, events and places, which have contributed to shape Premthada's unique identity and sensibility. Deaf from birth, the architect evokes how his disability led him to develop an alternative way of listening using his whole body as a resonance chamber of sound vibrations. Despite their large ears, elephants also perceive sound mostly through their feet. Learning from elephants, Boonserm has developed an architecture of the senses where sound vibrations become the voice of space.

Dr Birdman

If you speak some Thai, it’s not hard to follow though unfortunately there’re no English subtitles for this lovely experience. Watching a cardiologist flip through fifteen books of nature sketches and notes, lovingly drawn and painted over thirty years, doesn’t sound like much of a movie. Instead of attending a lecture, however, we are absorbed and amused because our forest guide by art happens to be Rungsrit Kanjanavanit or ‘Dr Mong’, well-known Thai conservationist, bird-watcher and nature artist.

Savage Jungle

In a coastal town in the south of Thailand, a giant ape nicknamed King Kong terrorizes villagers and abducts a local girl to a forest, prompting a frantic rescue mission by the town sheriff and a fugitive bandit. Tamone Prai is an example of a regional film made by an amateur filmmaker that was popular in Thailand in the 1950s. Thamrong Rujanaphand shot the 16mm film in the south of Thailand, a predominantly Muslim region with Malay ancestry. The film has a simple, almost naive storyline typical of homemade movies of those days and features scenes that are as humorous as they are likely to raise eyebrows of present-day audiences. However, it also captures the authentic vibe and scenery of Thailand's south. The film's central attraction is the giant ape nicknamed King Kong, clearly inspired by the classic film of that title. Thamrong was also an amateur taxidermist, and his skill in creating stuffed creatures was obviously utilised in the film.
