Reading Time: < 1 minuteNow in its eighth year, the World Film Festival of Bangkokt has been steadily expanding in scope and influence.
This year, under the slogan “Emotions Unleashed”, 150 films from around the world, including the best of new Thai and regional cinema, will be screened.

It was a big government agency. And then we focused and we continue to be a platform for independent cinema and masters of cinema.”
