Quote:
Based on the true story of Thailand’s famed transvestite kickboxer, Beautiful Boxer is a poignant action drama that punches straight into the heart and mind of a boy who fights like a man can become a woman.

Believing he’s a girl trapped in a boy’s body since childhood, Parinya Charoenphol (affectionately known as Nong Toom in Thailand) sets out to master the most masculine and lethal sport of Muay Thai (Thai boxing) to earn a living and to achieve his ultimate goal of total femininity. Touching, funny and packed with breathtaking Thai kickboxing sequences, Beautiful Boxer traces Nong Toom’s childhood, teenage life as a traveling monk and grueling days in boxing camps. Shot in 9 provinces across Thailand and in Tokyo, the film also features a series of explosive matches where Nong Toom knocks out most of his opponents in Thailand and Japan.

SYNOPSIS

By RUSSELL EDWARDS (Variety)

Bad karma does a slow fade, but gives the occasional wink, in “Invisible Waves,” Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s highly anticipated followup to “Last Life in the Universe.” Thai helmer, Japanese heartthrob Asano Tadanobu and Oz lenser Christopher Doyle form a pleasing combination of malevolence supported by dry wit. English-lingo limitations of the thesps will hamper sales in some territories, but the pic should go gangbusters throughout Asia and on the festival circuit.

In film noir tradition, the pic opens with Macau-residing Japanese assassin-cum-chef Kyoji (Asano Tadanobu) holding a man at gunpoint. Seiko (Tomono Kuga), the Japanese wife of Kyoji’s boss, arrives at Kyoji’s apartment to continue their steamy affair. Instead, Kyoji poisons her dinner. The next day, the newly widowed Wiwat (Toon Hiranyasup) has closed the up-market Hong Kong restaurant in which Kyoji works his day job.

Taking an imposed vacation, Kyoji sets sail for Phuket. As the Nipponese assassin boards the ship, a silhouetted figure is clearly observing him. The boat trip is a dream-logic, “Barton Fink”-flavored comedy of errors and meditation on karmic consequences. Only a few of Kyoji’s problems with his shabby cabin room are laugh-out loud funny, but the wry atmosphere prevents the script’s more philosophical aspects from becoming too heavy.

Narrative is unrushed and solo scripter Prabda Yoon reveals important plot points sparingly and obliquely. Unfortunately, the final couple of reels feel unnecessary.

Asano is solid as the central protag, and each of the supporting thesps are convincing. One exception is Gang Hye Jung, playing a winsome fellow traveller on board the boat, who’s hampered by flat phonetic delivery of English. While the casting of Gang may have been essential in securing coin from Korean company CJ Entertainment (and for securing Korean auds upon that territory’s commercial release), her awkward perf diminishes the pic.

Helming is restrained and makes maximum use of Doyle’s gliding camera. Lensing is so gray and gritty that the pic could easily be described as “film gris.” Evocative, slowly pulsing music by Hualampong Riddim is like an additional character, and successfully unifies the film.

Article published by The Nation about resurrecting a legend:

Lost for 60 years, Thailand’s first award-winning film “Santi-Vina” is rediscovered, restored and shown at Cannes

While the 69th Cannes Film Festival did not offer up a happy ending on Sunday night as critics and audience members vented their disappointment at the awarding of the Palme d’Or to Ken Loach’s left-leaning social commentary “I, Daniel Blake”, the 2016 edition of this prestigious event was an enjoyable one, serving up a variety of good films from veteran and rising new talents.
Likewise, although Thai filmmakers were absent from the world’s most important film festival, Thai cinema was very much under the spotlight in the Cannes Classic segment during which a recently rediscovered Thai film was screened.
The special section has been a goldmine for fans of rare film since its inception in 2004. Those screened with beautiful new prints over the last decade include South Korea’s “The Housemaid” by Kim Ki-Young and Edward Yang’s “A Brighter Summer Day”. This year, the section selected “Santi-Vina”, a Thai film from 1954, which was lost for 60 years before being found quite by chance in London, Moscow and Beijing.
“Santi-Vina” was made veteran stage play director Thavi “Marut” na Bangchang, who was behind the productions of Prince Bhanubandhu Yugala’s Assavin Karn Lakorn Troupe and Sawas Thikamporn’s Sivarom Troupe. Little information about his life is available and only very few of his works have survived, among them “Forever Yours” (1955) and “Pantai Norasingh” (1950). It was the first film produced by Hanuman Films, a studio founded by self-taught filmmaker RD Pestonji, winner of Glasgow’s Amateur Cine Competition for his short film “Tang”, and his American partner Robert G North. Pestonji also served as cinematographer while North penned the script. The story is centred on Santi and Vina, star-crossed lovers whose relationship is forbidden by Vina’s parents because Santi is blind.
The film premiered in Tokyo the same year at the first South East Asian Film Festival, the precursor to the Asia Pacific Film Festival, in Tokyo, which was set up by Masaichi Nagata, president of Daiei Studio with the support of Sir Run Run Shaw. The aim was to create a film festival showcasing best films from Asia. Eleven feature films from Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaya, Philippines and Thailand competed in the inaugural edition with “Santi-Vina” winning Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction and becoming the first Thai film to win any awards at an international film festival. The film was released in Thailand in December 1954, and His Majesty the King attended the premiere at the Empire Theatre,
The problems started immediately after the festival. After learning that he would have to pay a large sum of money in custom duties to take the film back to Thailand, Pestoni decided to ship it to London. He was later informed that the film had been damaged during the voyage and died in 1970 believing that his award-winning film was lost forever.
“In his funeral memorial book, it is written that the film was damaged during the transportation, and in 1994, when Rank Film Laboratories sent negatives of Hanuman Film’s titles back to Thailand, there was no ‘Santi-Vina’,” Sanchai Chotirosseranee, deputy director of the Thai Film Archive, explains.
In 1976, Pestoni’s son Santa remade “Santi-Vina” as a tribute to his late father but the print of the remake has suffered the trials of time and is in poor condition. Not long after, a film researcher combing the archives found a news clipping stating that “Santi-Vina” had been sold to the Soviet Union and China in the 1950s and was released in both countries.
The search for the film was launched again in 2012 when Sanchai received an e-mail from Alongkot Maiduang, a film critic working on his PhD.
“I went to the British Film Institute to see some films that hadn’t been released and was amazed to find some Thai films in the BFI archive, many of which were not available in Thailand,” Alongkot explains.
“That made me curious about their collection so I asked them to check all the Thai films available. They sent me a list with ‘Santi-Vina’ on it and an annotation that the negative was sound. The spelling of the title on the list was ‘Santi-Veena’, which wasn’t the official English title, and I e-mailed Sanchai at the Thai Film Archive for more information. It turned out that they didn’t know ‘Santi-Vina’ was there. When I came back to Thailand, Sanchai told me that thanks to my e-mail, he had dug further into the archive and discovered it also held the picture negative of the film. The negative though was listed as ‘Santi-Vina’, which explains why the two were separated, and in the database, it wasn’t listed as a Thai film,” he says.
Sanchai takes up the story,
“I went to the Pordenone Silent Film Festival in Italy and met Brigitte Paulowitz, a film archivist from Switzerland who introduced me to Peter Bergov from Gosfilmofond, the National Film Archive of Russia,” he explains.
“We found out that Gosfilmofond had kept a print of this film, and later, Dome [Sukvongse, the director of Thai Film Archive] and [deputy director] Chalida [Uabumrungjit], received an e-mail from Sha Yang, a Chinese film researcher, saying that the film archive in Beijing had also kept a copy of ‘Santi-Vina’.”
Plans were made to fully restore the original print.
“L’ Immagine Ritrovata, a laboratory in Italy specialised in film restoration, helped us in the restoration process, which began in 2015,” Sanchai says. “There were still problems as some scenes were lost from the original negative. We had to use the elements we got from Russia and China to make the restored version as complete as possible.”
And thus the beauty of “Santi-Vina” was revealed to the world again for the first time in 60 years last Thursday. August Pestonji, grandson of RD, attended the premiere of the film along with Kong Rithdee, a board member of the Thai Film Archive.

Quote:
Set in the deep South of Thailand, where separatist violence has claimed nearly 7,000 lives in the past 13 years, The Island Funeral is a meditation on faith, identity and a place uncharted by any map. Laila, with her brother and his friend, head from Bangkok on a thousand-kilometer road trip to Pattani. Along the way they meet Surin, a soldier from the Northeast. Together they journey into the southernmost part of the country in search of lost history and half-remembered memories.

In the words of the director, The Island Funeral is “about everybody who is looking for their ideal world amidst the conflicts of the internal clash in their past and memories.” Shot on 16mm, The Island Funeral is the winner of the Best Asian Future Film Award, 28th Tokyo International Film Festival, FIPRESCI Prize, the 40th Hong Kong International Film Festival and Best Cinematographer, and Asian New Talent Awards, 19th Shanghai International Film Festival, and Silver Hanoman Award, Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival 2016. The director, Pimpaka Towira, is a pioneer on the Thai independent film scene.
—–
A story like a realistic dream by a filmmaker genuinely involved with the problems of her politically divided country, a country that is a tourist paradise but also on the brink of civil war. The protagonist is Laila, a young woman who travels from Bangkok for family reasons to the deep south of the province of Pattani. She does not go on her own, but with her brother and a friend. On the way, they pick up a soldier. Pattani is torn by a rebellion that has been dragging on for years and has cost thousands of lives. The Island Funeral is certainly also a road movie, with the symbolism that belongs to the genre: the real journey represents an inner journey. The film is the opposite of a political pamphlet. It tries to provide insight into the memories-in-the-making of a generation that has to find its way in a country that hides great confusion behind a smile. The journey does not end in paradise, but it does end in a wondrous world.

Are you afraid of death? According to statistics, two people on earth die each second. Die Tomorrow zeroes in on the last day of its protagonists, each of whom have no idea of their fate. The film picks up on six everyday situations and turns them into moving stories. With true lightness of touch, director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit forges shots that play out over considerable time and then combines them with documentary-like interview footage, news reports, sound recordings, statistics and archive material, thus creating an elaborate essay. In view of what is about to happen, small snatches of conversation take on dramatic dimensions for the viewer. The film succeeds in putting across its weighty topic in a manner at once entertaining and serious, even though in the time it takes to watch the film, statistics says that 8,442 people will have died – as well as another 120 in the time it takes to read this text. Death seems distant, but it is never far away, those afraid of it fear life as well. Die Tomorrow inspires reflection: about death but much more about the important, beautiful moments of life – and their fleeting nature.

The village was an inspiration and a location of shooting “Poor People the Great” and “Village of Hope” that were directed by Boonsong Nakphoo.

It can be assumed that “Scene and Life” is the extension part of the previous films that extend to other homes, families and lives of Wang Pi Kul village. Every village has its own story. Where there are scenes, there are lives. In these various lives, you can see love, sadness, excitement, nervousness and impression. All tastes of lives are blended in this film.

6 is the number of shots on an analogue roll of film. It’s also the number of shots in this film. Yet it’s not a strict film, but the playful quest of a young photographer for the photos that disappeared on her computer: a whole year’s worth, including one of a challenging encounter.

The title 36 refers to the roll of film in the filmmaker’s old-fashioned analogue still camera. Each roll had 36 photos and it was always a surprise to find out after it had been developed what was on the negatives. Often the photos didn’t have much to do with each other, and often he didn’t know when and why he had taken a picture.

Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit also uses the number 36 to divide up his original, crisply-told film, which is made up of 36 shots. The filmmaker wanted to evoke something of the arbitrary nature of the old film rolls – and of memory – even though the story is told in a way that can be followed easily.

The protagonist in this lightfooted and melancholy feature is Sai. She is a location scout and for her work she records a lot with her camera. One day it turns out that the hard disk of her laptop has crashed and she has lost a year’s worth of photos. She has the feeling that part of her own memory has been deleted and she does everything possible to get the photos back.

In a playful way, this film tackles the issue of changing memory. These days a lot is remembered for us, but what do we still remember ourselves? Deeply hidden in the broken hard disk is also the picture of a possible lover. A persevering quest for lost digital time. –IFFR

Quote:
As any fan of Asian film can tell you there are two major film producing countries on the rise right now. While Hong Kong is trying to fight their way out of a massive industry decline triggered by the reversion to Chinese rule and Japan seems content to hold steady the film cultures of Korea and Thailand have exploded to the forefront, both in terms of quantity and quality of the films being produced. And without a doubt one of Thailand’s brightest lights is writer / director Pen-Ek Ratanaruang.

Ratanaruang exploded onto the international scene with the absolutely stunning Last Life in the Universe, a film sensation that triggered a rush to track down his earlier works. Monrak Transistor – his 2001 effort – was still in print and easy enough to come by, but 1999’s 6ixtynin9 proved much more elusive with only a grainy Hong Kong produced VCD edition available on a fairly limited basis. But 6ixtynin9 proved to be one of those little films that just wouldn’t go away. Lauded in its own country – the film was Thailand’s Oscar submission that year – it tended to win converts whenever someone was lucky enough to track a copy down and it continued to grow in reputation until the good folks at Palm Pictures picked up rights for a North American release.

But enough of the background. What about the film? Lalita Panyopas stars as Tum, a low ranking employee in a Bangkok financial services firm – an industry sector that has been hit hard by an economic recession. Tum arrives at work one morning to find an impromptu staff meeting in session. The firm has been forced to lay off three employees and, unwilling to single anyone out for termination, the unlucky trio is decided by drawing lots. Tum, of course, is one of the unlucky three sent packing. This places her in a horrible situation. She has been financially supporting her parents and younger siblings and is now a single woman with no support network and little to no chance of finding legitimate work in the midst of the current hard times. Faced with the real prospect of having to turn to prostitution to make ends meet Tum begins shoplifting and fantasizing about suicide. Until one morning she discovers a box left outside her door, a box full of money, and sees a possible way out for herself. Here enters the continual case of mistaken identity brought on by a faulty apartment door number (the film’s title is a play on this), rival gangs, illegal passports, dope smoking youth, over exuberant police officers, nosy neighbors, an amputation and rather a lot of blood.

The summary makes 6ixtynin9 sound like a fairly busy, high energy film but like all of Ratanaruang’s other films it is actually a very quiet, meditative piece. Much like Japan’s Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Ratanaruang loves to dress his films up in genre convention when they are actually psychological mood pieces. The gangsters are window dressing, what really matters here is that Tum is a woman in an incredibly difficult situation with some harsh moral decisions to make. How will she bear up under the stress? What path will she choose? The obvious point of comparison is Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave – a film that shares several significant plot points – but where Boyle’s film revolves around issues of greed Ratanaruang’s turns on desperation. How far are you willing to go to survive?

Key to making the film work is Panyopas’ performance as Tum and she does an admirable job charting Tum’s progression from a woman caught up by forces beyond her control into becoming one of those forces herself. She is giving very little dialogue to work with and has to rely on body language, frequently carrying her character entirely through her eyes. She has a quiet sense of grace and strength to her, more than enough to allow you to buy into the wildly excessive situation Ratanaruang drops her in to.

Where the film struggles a little bit is in the balancing of humor with the darker, more serious elements. Ratanaruang has a bit of a dreamer in him, as well as a healthy dose of absurdism, and he struggled to mesh those impulses with the ‘real-world’ feeling he also wants to maintain in his films until he finally struck a perfect balance with Last Life. There are some awkward moments here where you can tell he’s aiming for humor but the situation is paced and played just a little too realistically to laugh, and also some character moments that just don’t seem to fit with the tone of the rest of the film. Which is not to say that 6ixtynin9 isn’t a good film – it is, very – but fans of Last Life will need to approach this as an example of a master still learning and experimenting with his craft rather than coming in expecting the degree of balance, polish and subtlety of his most recent work.

Colic is a syndrome found in infants, which causes infants to cry continuously for hours. The reason behind this illness is usually credited by medical expects to a number of factors. However, some people believe that it’s linked to something supernatural. “Colic” tells a story of a couple (Pongpob and Phraeploy) who have a shotgun wedding upon discovering that Praeploy has unexpectedly become pregnant. After the wedding, Pongpob brings Phraeploy to his mother’s suburban home. The night before Praeploy delivers the child, the house next to theirs catches on fire. When the baby is delivered, and is brought to their house, he screams and cries with no reason. The doctor considers the baby has colic, and tells the couple that the ailment will disappear when the baby turns 3 to 6 months old. Several months later, the baby still hasn’t stopped crying…while the family’s members encounter to mysterious and unexplained experiences.

SYNOPSIS
Since she appeared in my film in 2009, Jenjira Pongpas has changed her name. Like many Thais, she is convinced that the new name will bring her good luck. So Jenjira has become Nach, which means water. Not long after, she was drifting online and encountered a retired soldier, Frank, from Cuba, New Mexico, USA. A few months later they got married and she has officially become Mrs. Nach Widner.

The newlyweds found a house near the Mekong River where Nach had grown up. She spends most of her day crocheting baby socks for sale, while he enjoys gardening and watching television (sometimes without the sound because most of the programs are in Thai).

Cactus River is a diary of the time I visited the couple—of the various temperaments of the water and the wind. The flow of the two rivers—Nach and the Mekong, activates my memories of the place where I shot several films. Over many years, this woman whose name was once Jenjira has introduced me to this river, her life, its history, and to her belief about its imminent future. She is certain that soon there will be no water in the river due to the upstream constructions of dams in China and Laos. I noticed too, that Jenjira was no more. –Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Quote:
In separate sketches, Thunska Pansittivorakul shows the homosexual love between a teacher and pupil more explicitly than ever. Several cryptic scenes refer to the oppressive Thai political situation. A clear reaction to the new law that subjected his previous film, This Area Is Under Quarantine (2009), to censorship.

Reincarnate starts with a text: ‘Thailand has since August 2009 banned the screening of sexual acts and genitals in films and anything that damages the interests of the country or causes disharmony in the people’. Thunska Pansittivorakul’s first film, This Area Is Under Quarantine (2009), which was only screened at this festival last year, was the first victim. Images of a violent conflict between the government and Muslim demonstrators did not get past the censor. How can any film maker still show what is happening in his country? In view of the fact that anything can fall under this law, in Reincarnate he shows for the first time flowing sperm. In his previous films, homosexual love was always prominently, but not explicitly present. Alongside separate sketches of the relationship between pupil and teacher, the film is made up of several cryptic scenes that comment on the oppressive political situation, in which all parties only defend their own interests.

A gay love story. A story in the form of a quest. Call it experimental, call it a mixture of documentary and fiction. A very personal film too. It is the director himself who shares his life and feelings with us. Yet it is possibly primarily a political film. The film resists a new law in Thailand that which is going a step further than censorship. Showing certain things (for instance sexual actions) is not only banned, but is also a criminal offence. For a film maker who feels the need to focus on physical passion in his films, there is then a problem. Thunska argues that he would have to give up film making if he could not follow his (artistic and sexual) motivations. A public screening in a cinema in Thailand is out of the question for this film. The film maker would be arrested. It’s ironic that the film maker was given the national Silpathorn award by a previous government as being an important Thai artist.

Are you afraid of death? According to statistics, two people on earth die each second. Die Tomorrow zeroes in on the last day of its protagonists, each of whom have no idea of their fate. The film picks up on six everyday situations and turns them into moving stories. With true lightness of touch, director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit forges shots that play out over considerable time and then combines them with documentary-like interview footage, news reports, sound recordings, statistics and archive material, thus creating an elaborate essay. In view of what is about to happen, small snatches of conversation take on dramatic dimensions for the viewer. The film succeeds in putting across its weighty topic in a manner at once entertaining and serious, even though in the time it takes to watch the film, statistics says that 8,442 people will have died – as well as another 120 in the time it takes to read this text. Death seems distant, but it is never far away, those afraid of it fear life as well. Die Tomorrow inspires reflection: about death but much more about the important, beautiful moments of life – and their fleeting nature.
