Opening Ceremony on Thursday 8 September 2016 at 18.00 hrs.

The first photography exhibition in Thailand features more than 150 old Siamese photographs from the very first beginning until
the end of the reign of King Chulalongkorn, the fifth monarch of Siam. The original negatives of these photographs are kept
in the foreign country’s archive. They were taken by foreign photographers and Thais who were later appointed Siamese court photographers. These archaic photographs which have never been seen would bring various historical aspects to light - whether
portrait photography of King Mongkut of Siam, King Chulalongkorn, nobles and commoners; architectures and landscapesof the
past hundred years; chronicled events and royal ceremonies; citified and provincial life; traditional dance, Khon (a masked
performance), and Likay (dramatic performance). Every photograph has become the connection to the works of contemporary artists who would capturethe metropolis’ social- economic particularities, her ongoing changes, along with her people’s way of life,
land and water transportation. Contemporary performance and key technology of photography will encourage culture of history,
pave way for further interpretation and sustain the life of these photographs.

WHERE ARE WE GOING NOW?

Opening Reception on Thursday 8 September 2016 at 18.00 hrs.

What is a nation? We have overcome dictatorship, suppression, civil war, absolute
poverty, and political disorder. However, I cannot describe my country, the Republic
of Korea, as "great" yet. Our country has lost its conscience for greed and personal
profits. The word "hell Chosun" has become a routinely used term. The nation that
handed a rifle in my twenties to defend itself, the nation that regularly collected taxes,
what does this nation mean to us? And where are we going now?

As more people move into the city, it leads to the population explosion problem.
In orderto deal with the problem, there has been a resident management. Instead
of living in a house, we have to squeeze into what we call "building" in form of a tiny
box where its residents have to store everything within the limited space.

CINEMA DIVERSE: DIRECTOR’S CHOICE 2016
The Female Perspective
Saturday 24 September 2016 at 14.00 - 20.30 hrs.
Auditorium, 5th Floor

"Over the course of 5 hours and 17 minutes, we are invited to enter the world of four women in their late 30s. The film shows us the diversity of female perspectiveswith one thing in common, the longing for the "Happy Hour”. It is not clear if there is actually
a "Happy Hour" for them but what we can feel and empathise with them is their
unyielding desires which are painfully beautiful." Pimpaka Towira

The third screening on Saturday 24 September 2016 is a Japanese film, Happy Hours
(2015) directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi and chosen by Pimpaka Towira, an
acclaimed female Thai director and a winner of the Silapathorn Award (an honour
for Thai contemporary artists), in 2009.

The precious balance holding together four best friends in their 30s is tested when one announces that she will be divorcing her husband. With a grandeur and detail afforded
by its running time, Happy Hour explores that balance through a feat of fortitude and
the poise of simply "being there" between friends.

*The film has a running time of 5 hours 17 minutes.
*There will be two breaks between the screening.
