THAI FILM ARCHIVE

Phutthamonthon sai 5 Fapot.org

The National Film Archive was established in 1984 and was only restructured as a public organisation and renamed the Film Archive in 2009. They’re reopening three exhibitions every day except Mondays: “The Spaceship of Nabua”, “Genesis: The Birth of Cinema in Siam” and “Persistence of Vision”. But aside from their exhibitions, they’re also resuming the screening of films. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 2pm until the end of the month, they’ll be showing a number of classic Thai films that cover many different genres. You can catch classic love stories like the 1968 film E-Tan; or watch Thailand’s first animated feature film The Adventure of Sudsakorn made in 1979; or see something somewhat more recent like 2001’s Goal Club. On top of all the varied genres they’re showing, all screenings are free of charge, so don’t sweat the ticket fees!
