Streaming service HOOQ seeks filmmakers
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 20/07/2017
» While more and more Asian viewers are tuning in to watch Asian content, many filmmakers in the region are still loathe to enter their local markets, where conservative, broadcast-oriented programming dominates the wavelengths. In Thailand, TV shows centre on the age-old soap opera format, while films are still largely limited to the trinity of horror, comedy and romance, be it from conservative studio execs to stringent cultural and regulatory measures that limit the freedom of creators to push the envelope.

Monstrously uninspiring
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 09/06/2017
» Watching The Mummy -- the latest reboot of the classic Hollywood monster -- I couldn't help but recall a re-imagining of a similar classic Hollywood monster, 2014's Dracula Untold. Bashed by critics as a poor attempt at "superhero-izing" Dracula, it was largely recognised as a bad film, one that would most likely be better off with a stake in its metaphorical heart.

Siam Square's night of the living dead
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 31/03/2017
» Siam Square needs no introduction. With a history dating back to the 1970s, the shopping district remains the prime meeting spot for today's Bangkok youth, with plenty of shops, restaurants and a building literally made of tutoring schools. It's not the kind of place you'd expect to associate with a horror film, which is exactly what makes Siam Square, the directorial-debut of Pairat Kumwan, so interesting.

» 1. We've made several mentions of The Forest, one of two Thai short films to be featured at the prominent 18th Far East Film Festival earlier this year. Hailed as a masterpiece by foreign critics for its "classic horror-style camera angles" and its "unique perspective and presentation of Isan culture", those who missed the film's limited screening in SF World Cinema last month can get another chance at watching the film at the Filmmaker's Forum event at the Whiteline Bar on Silom Road tomorrow. The event will also be attended by director Paul Spurrier, who will be discussing his experiences with the film. Screening begins at 8pm.

The sound of silence
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 16/09/2016
» As is true of most horror films, it's the silent, creeping moments of uncertainty leading up to the jumps-scares that create the most suspense, as audiences tense up in anticipation, hoping against hope that the main characters be spared any horrendous fate lying around the corner. Don't Breathe, the aptly named sophomore feature from director Fede Alvarez (who also did the 2013 remake of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead), embodies this philosophy to the hilt, taking its audience on a relentless train-ride of white-knuckle tension from start to finish.

» 4 In collaboration with Inès de la Fressange, the French fashion titan whose name is "synonymous with Parisian chic", Uniqlo has released a new line of women's clothing inspired by the 1960s French fashion, when "the ready-to-wear industry led to the collapse of the hierarchy that had been the height of long-established haute couture". The first of a three-part collection (with the second and third releasing in October and November, respectively) -- now in stores -- is dubbed La Femme 70s, which expresses the "free and open feel of the 1970s".
