1) Man and Gravity

Jakrawal Nilthamrong / 2009 / 11min / Thailand / RATINGS TBA

Synopsis:
A man with a colorful tricycle tries to raise an impossible freight in inaccessible surroundings. Gravity, but also karma.

Director’s Statement:
Just like gravity, karma works everywhere, even though you don't see it. You only see the result. All over Asia you see people with impossible loads on their bicycles, scooters or small vehicles. Here a man tries to lift a truly impossible freight in an impossible and hostile environment. The unusual landscape emphasizes the metaphorical quality of his toils. Serious as evidence and yet unmistakably funny.

2) Abtakon

Thawatpong Tangsajjapoj / 2008 / 4min / Thailand / RATINGS TBA

Synopsis:
Making a special cup of coffee can be harder than one can imagined.

3) Red Man

Nattaphong Homchuen / 2009 / 8min / Thailand / RATINGS TBA

Synopsis:
It’s story of a man who has to wear red T-Shirt on Monday, while everybody wears yellow. 

4) Français

Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit / 2009 / 30min / Thailand / RATINGS TBA

Synopsis:
Francais is the story about a blind college girl submitted her French philosophy book to the center outside the university to make it in Braille version but finally it never returns. The thing is she has to read this book for examination tomorrow so she gets only one night for preparation. The only way out for this crisis is the help of her stubborn roommate... who can't read any French stuff.
