A Tiff Programmer Talks Sawasdee Bangkok
28 August 2009 8:01 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
[The Toronto International Film Festival’s south-east Asia programmer Raymond Phathanavirangoon has been giving us a guided tour of his selections for the big festival and today he checks in with some thoughts on Sawasdee Bangkok.]
Hi everyone! After my introduction of Pen-ek Ratanuruang’s Nymph, here’s another project at Tiff that the same director is involved in: Sawasdee Bangkok. Yes, like Paris je t’aime and New York I Love You, this is another city omnibus. But the big difference is that all the filmmakers here are Thai. They know their own city off by heart, and as such the four shorts here are much more intimate and insightful than the usual 5-minute-and-it’s-over clip. Plus, there’s a real charm to all the films, which only makes the title Sawasdee Bangkok all the more fitting.
The four filmmakers are some of the biggest names in current Thai cinema. Wisit Sasanatieng of Tears of the Black Tiger and Citizen Dog fame; Aditya Assarat, who took the cinema world by storm with his award-winning Wonderful Town; Kongdej Jaturanrasamee, acclaimed screenwriter and the director of the quirky Midnight, »

Love After The Tsunami

Odds are you missed the touching thriller "Won derful Town" when it had a one-week run last July at the Anthology. Now that the film is out on DVD (via Kino), there is no excuse not to see it.
The setting is Takua Pa, Thailand, a coastal town devastated by the gigantic Dec. 26, 2004, tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 225,000 people. Eight thousand of the deaths were in Takua Pa.
Moved by the destruction there, Thai filmmaker Aditya Assarat chose Takua Pa as the setting for "Wonderful Town," which garnered awards on the festival circuit »

Spring Preview: Anywhere But a Movie Theater
18 February 2009 9:44 PM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Film releases certainly aren't limited to theaters these days -- here's a rundown of titles making their way to you via alternative pathways.
On Demand
Our sister company IFC Films made a splash at this year's Sundance with the announcement of a partnership with the SXSW Film Festival to premiere four of the festival's picks concurrent with their debut in Austin. Joe Swanberg's latest, "Alexander the Last," headlines the group making their on demand debut on March 14, along with Australian comedy "Three Blind Mice," Bulgarian noir "Zift" and SXSW '08 alums "Medicine for Melancholy" and "Paper Covers Rock."
On DVD
It's a sign of the times that a serviceable Tommy Lee Jones thriller can sit alongside the latest from Steven Seagal at your local Blockbuster, but "In the Electric Mist" is far more interesting than the actor's paycheck output of the late '90s, even if it is missing »
