» It is high time for audiences who appreciate the rough-edged reality of documentary films. Of the five nominees of the Oscar for best documentary feature, three had a regular release in Bangkok cinemas (Amy, Cartel Land, The Look of Silence), something unthinkable a few years ago when no distributor wanted to risk showing non-fiction films in cinemas. Now there is almost always at least one documentary film at SF CentralWorld, with the initiation of the independent outfit Documentary Club (in the programme now is The Hunting Ground, about rape crimes in American universities).

Life, Kaona Pongpipat, Published on 25/02/2016
» Tickets for Dracula: Blood Is Life, Ewing Entertainment Worldwide's debut stage play in Thailand, start at 1,200 baht and we simply may never agree on whether the show is worth the price. What we will agree on, however, is that Chulachak "Hugo" Chakrabongse, starring as Count Dracula, is a good-looking man. Women love him and so do men, straight or gay.
The art of calculation
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 06/01/2016
» Chiang Mai's art scene is brewing with optimistic energy through the city's small galleries and the strong presence of its artists' enclave. Young artists find their debut here, while established brand names -- such as Navin Rawachaikul, the subject of our cover story today -- provide a solid backbone and publicity. Surveying the northern town on the last week of 2015, we sensed a great enthusiasm over a new space to open later this year, a converted warehouse in San Kampaeng called Mai Iam, which looks set to be a scintillating game-changer in the national contemporary art circle.

Bringing the birth stories to life
Life, Chris Baker, Published on 12/10/2015
» The jataka tales or birth stories are the most vivid and accessible part of Buddhist teaching. The Buddha, once he gained the ability to recall his past lives, related all 550 of them to the monks in his following. In some lives, he was a king, some a hermit, some a pauper, and in a few an animal. The 10 longest of these tales became associated with his 10 last lives and with his attainment of the "perfections" that enabled him to be born as the historical Buddha. In this book, this Great Ten have been translated anew for the first time in over a century.
