My most favorite films in the Marathon Festival 2010
1.FEUNG (Teerani Siangsanoh + Wachara Gunha + Thani Thitiprawat)
2. DARK SLEEP (เพียงหลับใหลในเงามืด) (Teerani Siangsanoh)
1920's -- Luis Buñuel (UN CHIEN ANDALOU)
1930's – Jean Cocteau (THE BLOOD OF A POET)
1940's – Maya Deren (MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON)
1950's – Kenneth Anger (INAUGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME)
1960's – Ingmar Bergman (THE SILENCE)
1970's – Andrei Tarkovsky (THE MIRROR)
1980's – Etant Donnes (L'AUTRE RIVE)
1990's – Fred Kelemen (KALYI – THE AGE OF DARKNESS)
2000's – Philippe Grandrieux (A LAKE)
2010's – Teerani Siangsanoh (DARK SLEEP and LAST OF THAILAND)
I don't mean to say that Teerani is as great as other directors in the list. What I want to say is that I love the mental space or the surreal feelings in the films by these directors very much.
3. RED MOVIE (แกะแดง) (The Underground Office)
Though I felt sad when I knew that there are no new films by Prap Boonpan or Manussak Dokmai shown in the Marathon Festival this year, my sadness is gone when I saw these weird political films: RED MOVIE, "CHAY, GAYVAH-RAR 'N' THE MACHUPICCHU" (Chaloemkiat Saeyong), WE WILL FORGET IT AGAIN (Napat Treepalawisetkun), BAD-GOOD 2013 (Viroj Suttisima), and THAI CONTEMPORARY POLITICS QUIZ (Scene 22).
4. 30 (Tossapol Boonsinsukh)
5. REMEMBRANCE (กาลานุสติ) (Sitthiporn Racha)

I didn't know they were screening classic short films, too? I thought it was only new Thai sort films? I checked the list at thaifilm.com but it didn't include Un Chien Andalou etc.
Mat.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. UN CHIEN ANDALOU wasn't screened in the Marathon Festival.
The list below is not the list of films shown in the Marathon Festival. It is the list of films which thrill me as much as DARK SLEEP, or the list of filmmakers whose works thrill me as much as Teerani Siangsanoh's works:
1920's -- Luis Buñuel (UN CHIEN ANDALOU)
1930's – Jean Cocteau (THE BLOOD OF A POET)
1940's – Maya Deren (MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON)
1950's – Kenneth Anger (INAUGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME)
1960's – Ingmar Bergman (THE SILENCE)
1970's – Andrei Tarkovsky (THE MIRROR)
1980's – Etant Donnes (L'AUTRE RIVE)
1990's – Fred Kelemen (KALYI – THE AGE OF DARKNESS)
2000's – Philippe Grandrieux (A LAKE)
If I have to screen Teerani Siangsanoh's films, I would screen his films together with the films above. :-)
Oh! Sorry. I look forward to seeing Teerani's films at the Festival then.
