Insects in the Backyard

Borders are breaking down in indie filmmaker Aditya Assarat's sophomore feature, Hi-So

ไฮโซ

Inspired by Aditya's own life – he was raised in Thailand but spent half his life going to school in the U.S. – Hi-So

Ananda Everingham stars. He plays a Thai actor who's recently moved back to Thailand after years in the States. While making a movie on location in Phang Nga Province (the same setting as Aditya's 2008 debut Wonderful Town

It's a movie of halves, with the first in English and the second in Thai."By the nature of the structure, the two halves always reflect each other, and I always thought it would be like the same movie being played over again," Aditya told The Nation last month. "Even some of the conversations are the same, except one is in English and the other in Thai."Aside from getting a highly personal project out of his system, Aditya says the aim of Hi-So

"It's a contemporary Asian film. It's about what it's like to live in Thailand now and what it feels like to live in Asia now, where there's a breakdown of culture and borders. We're all becoming one Asian culture," he says. "A hundred years ago, to be born in Thailand meant something. It meant that you spoke Thai and you never left the country and you were Thai. Now it could mean anything. You can speak English or Japanese and you don't eat Thai food. You watch Korean TV shows or French movies and you wear your hair the way people wear it in Brazil."Enthusiasts of contemplative cinema, as well as as fans of Ananda and indie Thai films will probably enjoy Hi-So

Hi-So

Part of the Extra Virgin Director's Screen Project, Hi-So

Find out more about the movie at its Facebook page. There's also an official YouTube channel, which includes the trailer (embedded below), cool clips from the soundtrack and a couple of short films by Aditya that are closely linked to Hi-So

Bangkok Blues

Apichatpong Weerasethakul has received a promotion in rank in the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.After a ceremony on Friday, in which Ambassador Gildas Le Lidec pinned a medal on the filmmaker's lapel, Apichatpong is now an officer in the order. He was first inducted in 2008, when he received the rank of chevalier (knight).Apichatpong's contributions to French culture include his win of last year's Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Blissfully Yours

Primitive

Other officers in the French order include singer Van Morrison, director Neil Jordan, actor Shah Rukh Khan, director Johnnie To and actress Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan.Just last month another Thai was inducted into the order, Cultural Promotion Department director-general Apinan Poshyananda, who was also awarded the officer rank.Following the French ceremony in Bangkok, Apichatpong winged his way to the Busan International Film Festival, where he gave a keynote address at the Busan Cinema Forum.Film Business Asia was there:After showing a string of images grabbed from Thai television, with bikinis and even cartoon women's bodies pixelated out by censors, Weerasethakul joked: "I grew up watching blurred images. Maybe that's why I don't know a woman's anatomy and I prefer men."Go read the rest for his thoughts on Bangkok's dummy CCTV cameras and piracy of his movies in Thailand.More appreciation of Apichatpong comes later in the month from Singapore, where the Perspectives Film Festival will screen his 2006 feature Syndromes and a Century

Update:

Over at CNNGo, there's a rundown of all 18 of Thailand's Oscar submissions, spanning the years from the first pick in 1984 – Euthana Mukdasanit's teen drugs drama Story of Nam Poo

คนโขน

Kon Khon

The CNNGo piece is a long one, and I'm grateful they actually ran it. I believe it's the most comprehensive list of Thai Oscar submissions anywhere on the Web.And from there, I want to cherry pick, and offer a Top 5. At first I thought it would be easy – just choose the three Pen-ek Ratanaruang Oscar hopefuls and add two more. But then I got to thinking, which is always dangerous, and came to the conclusion that I'd have just one Pen-ek, in order to make the list more diverse.5. Ahimsa...Stop to Run

อหิงสา จิ๊กโก๋ มีกรรม

There have been better Thai movies submitted to the Oscars, but Leo Kittikorn's loopy Buddhist morality tale, with its confusing predestination paradoxes, is nonetheless hard to ignore by virtue of its batshit craziness.Visually, Ahimsa ... Stop to Run

Another highlight is Joni Anwar as Ahimsa's eccentric bar-owner friend, Einstein, who is always conducting "experiments" and sits in a powered wheelchair even though he doesn't need one.4. Once Upon a Time ... This Morning

กาลครั้งหนึ่ง เมื่อเช้านี้

I was fortunate enough to see Once Upon a Time

Directed by Bhandit Rittikol, this was one of the string of acclaimed social-problem movies that were among the first to be submitted to the Academy Awards. The issues include divorce, broken homes, homeless children and child prostitution – unflinching portraits of contemporary Thai society that just aren't seen that often in movies these days.The story is about three kids ho run away from their vain mother (Jintara Sukkapat) to be with their doting dad (Santisuk Promsiri), who told the kids stories using paper dolls. The children fall in with a gang of drug-dealing homeless boys and are chased by gangsters.What trips my emotional trigger is that recapturing of lost childhood innocence. There's no way to go back, except in the movies.3. The Elephant Keeper

คนเลี้ยงช้าง

Before veteran director MC Chatrichalerm Yukol was making epic palace-intrigue dramas, he was into social-problem movies, which go back to the 1970s, and they remain his best work.One of my favorites is The Elephant Keeper

Kon Liang Chang

Chatrichalerm's regular leading man Sorapong Chatree stars, playing the title character, a mahout named Boonsong who works the forests with his magificent elephant Tang-on. It's a time when logging companies are shifting to mechanization and the authorities are clamping down on timber harvesting, so Boonsong and Tang-on are put out of work. Feeling sorry for himself, Boonsong gets drunk on white liquor, which sets up a scene that likely hasn't been done in any other film – a man puking down the side of his elephant. Maybe The Hangover

The action ramps up thanks to Chatrichalerm's designated hitter for badassery, Ron Rittichai, playing the hardened, shotgun-toting forestry department officer Sergeant Kam. He comes to respect Boonsong and Tang-on after initially insulting the elephant and getting his Land Rover pushed into a creek for his harsh words. He apologizes to the elephant, who then pushes the Land Rover back out. Later, Boonsong and Tang-on help the officer battle the bad guys, which makes Boonsong a target. He's a desperate working man caught in the middle, and the machine-gun-equipped outlaws look to be the ones who put the squeeze on.Ittisoontorn Vichailak, who would later go on to direct another Thai Oscar contender, 2004's The Overture

โหมโรง

2. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

A snorting buffalo, an awkward dinner with a ghost wife and a monkey ghost and the story of the princess and her talking catfish boyfriend make for one of the weirdest movies ever, but Apichatpong Weerasethakul's tale of reincarnation and karmic retribution is also one of the most magical and heartfelt.I don't know what else to say about it at this point, except that I'm glad Thailand's industry-leaning Oscar panel put aside its differences with indie director Apichatpong and submitted Boonmee

1. Monrak Transistor

มนต์รักทรานซิสเตอร์

Pen-ek Ratanaruang's musical comedy was among the first Thai movies I ever saw and it remains one of my favorite films of all time. Monrak Transistor

For all its sunny humor, the story of a simple country boy who goes AWOL from the army to pursue his dreams of being a singer, meanwhile leaving behind his wife and baby, is actually pretty bleak.On the CNNGo list I was dismissive of its actual cultural significance, except for its role in showcasing the songs of luk thung singer Suraphol Sombatcharoen. But really, the whole movie is a tableaux of Thai culture, awash in the things folks see and do everyday in Thailand but take for granted, things like temple fairs and canal villages.Of course, it isn't the high-minded stuff the Culture Ministry usually likes to promote as "Thai culture", so I suppose it's easy to dismiss. And I missed mentioning something that I believe is unique to Thai culture – the travelling medicine show that puts on a movie screening, with the medicine salesman dubbing all the live voices. And the movie he's showing? Why it's Tears of the Black Tiger

I mean, I know Bin Binluerit played the axe-wielding town drunk who rode a buffalo into battle in Bang Rajan

Panya Reanu

But there were other things I didn't know, until recently, when a bunch of stuff came together as the result of a Twitter conversation. I won't bore you with the particulars of the exchange, though I will say it involved Thai science-fiction films and TV series and the lack thereof. And that eventually led to my discovery of facts that are generally known to most Thai cinema fans but not me.Such as the fact that it was Bin Binluerit who starred in a 1985 movie called Taptim Tone

ทับทิมโทน

Taptim Tone

A Century of Thai Cinema

It was Regis Madec, the go-to guy on classic Thai films who runs Thai World View who filled in the blanks of my knowledge. Sadly, like a lot of movies of the era, especially those of Kom Akadej, Tubtim Tone

Forty-one years ago this Saturday, October 8, superstar actor Mitr Chaibancha fell to his death from a helicopter while making Insee Thong

As they do each year in memory of Mitr, the Thai Film Archive will have a special program including some of Mitr's movies.They'll screen the 1966 comedy Sam Kler Jer Long Hon

สามเกลอเจอล่องหน

Following lunch, at 2pm, actress Butsakon Sakonrat, who co-starred with Mitr in some other movies, will have her hand-and-foot impressions made in the Star Terrace outside the Sri Salaya Theatre.And at 3.30, there will be a presentation of a voice clip of Mitr from 1965, obtained from the Rank Organization in the U.K. It's a rare opportunity to hear Mitr's voice, because in all his films, his voice was dubbed.Update:

Thailand's Culture Ministry and the Thai Film Archive have started a registry of national heritage films. The initial 25 titles go back as far as the beginning of film history up to the accomplishments of today and range from shorts to features. It includes newsreels, travelogue, documentaries, experimental films and fictional features.The earliest is 1897's Berne: Arrivee du Roi de Siam, chronicling the arrival of King Chulalongkorn in Berne, Switzerland, likely the first filmed record of a Siamese person.The most recent is last year's history-making Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the first Thai film to win the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.A news release says that according to Culture Minister Sukumol Khunpluem "the films deserved to be the national heritage for they are the masterpieces of Thai filmmakers and are about Thai people and Thai culture."Among the entries is The Flood in Bangkok 1942 by Tae Prakardwuttisan, which has been making rounds at a time when Bangkok is threatened by a record deluge of water. It's embedded above. Many other examples on the list, including episodes from Thai history that are politically sensitive topics, can also be found on YouTube.Here's the list of 25 Films as National Heritage 2011, in Thai alphabetical order:การต่อสู้ของกรรมกรหญิงโรงงานฮาร่า, The Struggle of Hara Factory Workers (1975) by Jon Ungpakorn – A documentary about the women workers in the Hara Jean factory who seized the factory to fight back at the owner.คล้องช้าง, Klongchang (1938) – An elephant round-up filmed by a Japanese crew, the first half is a look at old Bangkok's streets and lifestyle, which even today is popular stock footage for TV shows and news programs. The second half is the actual elephant round-up.ทองปาน, Tongpan (1977) – This documentary-style drama, directed by Euthana Mukdasanit and Surachai Jantimatorn and written by Khamsing Srinawk, Paijong Laisagoon and Mike Morrow, is a look at a man who lost his farm because of dam construction attending a seminar about the building of another dam. Because of its socialist leanings, the film was actually banned for a time.ทวิภพ (ฉบับผู้กำกับ), Siam Renaissance (Director’s Cut) (2005) by Surapong Pinitkha – This is one of many adaptations of writer Thommayanti's novel Thawipob, about a present-day woman who time-travels through her mirror to Rama V-era Siam and falls in love with a man from the past.โทน, Tone (1970) by Piak Poster – The debut feature by Piak, this sweeping romance, musical and action drama follows a poor young man (Chaiya Suriyun) as he's spurned by the girl he has a crush on, eventually moves to Bangkok to attend college but trouble from his home village follows him. Roj Ronnapop, Aranya Namwong, Jaruwan Panyopas, Sa-ad Piempongsan and Sangthong Seesai also star. The movie is notable for the music of the popular "string music" group of the 1960s and '70s, the Impossibles.นิ้วเพชร, The Diamond Finger (1958) by Ratana Pestonji – A khon
