» Under the unpredictable Bangkok sky in the late afternoon of last Saturday, I stopped by Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park) in Chatuchak district. Even though I haven't visited here for many years, while strolling around, I found this massive park still looks as beautiful as I remember. And despite the hazy skies and uncertainty of rain at any given time, I thought to myself that at least it's still better than being bored sitting on a couch watching a movie at home.

» All film students or movie lovers are being called to join in a special lecture titled "Archive Fever: Film History In The Age Of Streaming" -- a talk By Kong Rithdee on July 21 at The Siam Society, Sukhumvit 21.

Now, the development of digital communication and media technology, such as the proliferation of YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, has turned the internet into a real-time vehicle for human experiences and memories. This has prompted the film archives to ponder their function and respond to new ways images and memories are recorded, stored, accessed and democratised by not any specific entity but by humanity as a whole.
