Pop-Up Art, Films and Music at Flatpack Fest

‘The Sad and Beautiful World of Sparklehorse’

BANGKOK A renowned film festival from Birmingham is coming to Bangkok for two special evenings.

The Flatpack Film Festival will bring its mix of film, performance, discussion, music and workshops to Silom arts venue Whiteline next week.

Feel free to grab a pencil and make something. On March 8, the venue’s cafe space will host a group of illustrators doing a large-scale drawing inspired by the sounds they hear, from people’s chit-chat to clinking glasses.

Film highlight include a feature-length documentary on American indie rock Sparklehorse’s late singer Mark Linkous, short musical film programs “Lost in Sound” and some of the best shorts film from past editions of the festival.
