(Feb 10, 2005) Bangkok International Film Festival: Bringing Together East and West with Spectrum of Asian and International Films
The city of Bangkok is full of contradictions -- modern highrises next to crowded alley slums; sacred temples and a booming sex trade, a high-tech skytrain and motorized rickshaws. The Bangkok International Film Festival, which ran January 13-24, was similarly complex, offering an interesting spectrum of Asian and international titles and attracting a rather impressive array of Asian and Western film industryites.

(Feb 19, 2004) Finding Unheralded Films -- and Shangri-La -- at the 2004 Bangkok International Film Festival
What a great and glorious place is Bangkok! It's as though Manhattan, with its dense, never-still traffic, gleaming skyscrapers, smart shops, and punishing cacophony, were superimposed over a third-world village teeming with exotic human, animal, and plant life. In this singular city, the Bangkok International Film Festival took artistic pride of place the last two weeks of January. A new management and programming team, gleaned largely from the former staff of the Palm Springs Film Festival, put on a more than creditable show consisting largely of this year's international fest favorites, supplemented with a few kinky and welcome surprises here and there.
