23 Underground Thai Shorts Back-to-Back at Jam’s WTF Fest

‘Time Actually Passes Slower in Dream’ by Alwa Ritsila, Lucy Day and Watcharapong Narongphine

BANGKOK — A man searches for meaning in a prostitute. Two girls in a world where any form of self-expression is punishable by death. Four friends share ghost stories with one condition: There must be 10 listening or “uninvited guests” show up.

Those are a few of the moments among 23 short films which will run back-to-back later this month at the What the Film WTF Short Film Festival.

How short? They range from a 45-second narcissist’s tale called “I’d Fuck Me” to 45 minutes of rom-com drama in which a girl returns home to confront memories of a boy.

All films are made by independent, amateur or pro Thai filmmakers.
