POST- FESTIVAL STATEMENT From J Rosette, Director of BANGKOK INDIEFEST 1.0 August 6-8 2553/2010 ( www.bangkokfest.com ) August 14, 2553/2010 Hello BANGKOK INDIEFEST 1.0 community, fans, press, and participating filmmakers! Thanks again to all supporters for your generosity in participating in the first edition of our emerging festival. After a very intense effort in producing and wrapping the 1st edition, there is now a bit of time at last to reflect on the event... Just a little over two months ago, the protest situation here in Bangkok was at a critical juncture...parts of the city were burning and a curfew was in place...automatic weapons fire crackled through parts of town. As director of the festival (Jason Rosette, aka J "J" R) I had, at one point, a bag packed with my passport inside, ready to head to a more stable environment in case the rumors of "civil war" in Thailand became reality. No one knew how, or when, the protest situation would be resolved. Our f...

BANGKOK INDIEFEST's 1st edition ( www.bangkokfest.com ) , running from August 6-8, has wrapped successfully after screening over 80 independent movies from around the world, including Thailand, in what has been the first international film event to take place in Bangkok since the end of the recent 'Red Shirt' protests. Almost shelved by the protests and the exodus of sponsors that followed, the innaugural Bangkok IndieFest succeeded in bouncing back - with only a fraction of the budget of the Bangkok International Film Festival, to offer "a voice that's unique on the city's scene" ( Wise Kwai Film Journal ). In so doing, Bangkok IndieFest showed the world that Bangkok is once again a fun, stable, and attractive tourist and cultural destination.
