Bangkok Film Festival Spotlights Cinema as Soft Power
Published on 10/10/2025
» Amid rapid changes in technology and audience behaviour that continue to challenge the entertainment industry, the Bangkok International Film Festival 2025 returns in full force.

The discussions highlight how film is not just a source of entertainment, but a strategic driver of the economy, culture, and communication. They also open perspectives on how Thai content can expand to the global stage, inspire audiences, and fuel long-term growth in the creative economy.
