Amazing Thailand 9FilmFest has received submissions for 2012

Amazing Thailand 9FilmFest has received submissions for 2012 and REALLY EXCITING!!

Films from around the world have arrived and it is amazing to see the celebration of Filmmakers using the 9SI (9 Signature Item) “ Heart” in their masterpieces!

Watching a small portion of films, we are in awe of the entries!! Only in our second year, there has been a huge jump in the quality and storytelling of submitted films. Beyond our imagination…. is how HEART has been used in the story. The Ford Connectivity award will truly be stellar, selecting which Director used HEART “connecting” into the story!

It is not up to us, to tell you in writing, but you must see these films for yourself!! With support from our partner AIS, we will have semi-finalist films loaded on AIS servers to be watched and judged by the Audience to decide who will be the AIS Audience Award Winner! People who submit scores about which film they like, will be eligible for an AIS Smart Phone which will be awarded in a lucky draw. The winning film selected for the AIS Audience Award will also receive an AIS Smartphone!

The 2012 Amazing Thailand Finalist Films (9 Films) will be screened 17 June 2012 at Paragon Cineplex, starting at 7pm, but afternoon screenings of Semi-finalists will take place at 5pm, and a special screening of 2011 9FilmFest Finalist filmmaker Kris Clijster’s follow up film to Man with a Video Camera will be held at 4pm.

Final Call for Entries – 7 May 2012

It seemed like yesterday, when 9FilmFest 2011 was held at Paragon Parc, Bangkok on 26 March. We had a full house and showcased our 9 Finalist Films between music sets featuring Paradox, Calories Blah Blah and Buddha Bless.

The Audience loved the 9FilmFest Finalists! And were astounded by the Director’s creativity using the number 9 (signature item for 2011) in their films.

The winning film, Numberman Theory came from Japan and was an entertaining piece about a man who stretched into the shapes of numbers! It was fun seeing the winning film came from Japan! And it was also interesting to see Man with a Video Camera came from Belgium!

This year we have a terrific jury, including Academy Award Winner – George Miller (Australia), Prince Chatri (Thailand) and Apichartpong Weerasethakul (Thailand) to select this year’s 600,000 Baht ( US $20,000 dollars) Winning Film.

The excitement is in the air as we count down the days till final entry date of 7 May 2012.

Who will be our winning filmmaker? Who will drive away in a Ford Fiesta car? Who will make their next phone call on a Smartphone? And there are lots of other cash prizes for the Amazing Thailand 9FilmFest!

See you at Paragon Cineplex, 17 June 2012.
