After a lengthy restoration process by a lab in Italy and a world premiere in Cannes, Santi-Vina returned home after six decades. The screening at Scala last Friday is sure to become a chapter in Thai cinema history: it was an emotional homecoming and the 800-seat theatre was full to the tilt, something that hadn't happened at the venue for a long time.

    Reopening act

    Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/06/2020

If you've been dying to get out of the house, these places offer a respite.
