BY THE TIME IT GETS DARK
(Dao KHANONG)

Directed by Anocha Suwichakornpong

Edited by Lee Chatametikool and Aacharee Ungsriwong

Thailand, Netherlands, France, Qatar  ·  2016  ·  105' ·  Thai

A film director and her muse who was a student activist in the 1970s, a waitress who keeps changing jobs, an actor and an actress, all live loosely connected to each other by almost invisible threads. The narrative sheds its skin several times to reveal layer upon layer of the complexities that make up the characters’ lives.

(Sin maysar fon tok ma proi proi)

Directed by Wichanon Somumjarn

Edited by Aacharee Ungsriwong

Thailand, Netherlands  ·  2012  ·  76' ·  Thai

Nuhm is a foreman in the building industry in Bangkok who has to look for other work. On the eve of the Thai New Year, he returns to his birthplace in the north-east of Thailand (where director Wichanon Somumjarn also grew up). After the wedding of a school friend, Nuhm goes to see his father, but their reunion is difficult. Meeting a young woman he was once in love with brings out other feelings. They talk about Albert Camus' rules for a happy life and Nuhm admits that he would most love to make films.
