Jolly Time for Shadow Observers

Bangkok is an ambitious girl. She always craves something that she isn’t already famous for. What other people have, she’s gotta have too. It’s so in her nature.

So, what Cannes, Berlin, or Toronto has, she absolutely has to have too. It’s been this way for six straight years already.

Bangkok International Film Festival 2008 will be from September 23rd to 30th, 2008, so take note movie enthusiasts. That is if you’re here during the said time.


While further information is obtainable at http://www.bangkokfilm.org/, let me just say it’s also good to know a group of local people who are passionate about movies. It’s also good to know that in case you decide to migrate here, there will be at least one week per year when you are presented w/ not so commercial offerings from across the globe.

It’s always nice to feel somewhat intelligent after leaving a cinema, isn’t it? I hope one day we will figure out a way to feel extremely intellectual after watching Legally Blonde and the likes. But I digress here.

Who knows? One day, Bangkok’s film festival might become as renowned as her other things are. And, that would be when this hungry girl has it all? No?

Keep up the good work girl. One has to start somewhere.
