Hot on the heels of the recent release of Apichatpong's Palme d'Or winning film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, film production company Extra Virgin teams up with SF Cinema City (The Emporium) and the independent film community to roll out the second phase of the Director’s Screen Project.
The event will kick off with Anocha Suwichakornpong’s Mundane History (Aug 5), winner of two best feature film awards at the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam (VPRO Tiger Award) and the Transilvania International Film Festival (Transilvania Trophy). Then it's Agrarian Utopia (Sept 2) by Uruphong Raksasad, a semi-documentary fiction feature exploring the year-long rice farming cycle in northern Thailand amidst the backdrop of the country’s economic, social and political changes.
Wrapping things up is the short film Phuket (Sept 30) by Aditya Assarat, recent laureate of the Ministry of Culture’s Silpathorn Award. The film stars Korean heartthrob actress Lim Soo-Jung (I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK and Sorry, I Love You) and Thai actor Sorapong Chatree.
All films are screened daily at 7pm with additional screenings at 2pm on weekends. There will also be a Q&A session with the directors after each screening.
