Censor Must Die (2014)
When Shakespeare Must Die, a Thai film adaptation of Macbeth is banned by the Thai government as a threat to national security, the film's producer treks through the corridors of power to un-ban his Shakespearean horror movie--from the Cultural ministry to the Senate and the National Human Rights Commission, all the way to the Administrative Court where he is suing the government for abuse of power. Wherever he went, amidst political upheaval, his director followed with a camera. The resulting reality cinema is the living story of a struggle for justice and human dignity, for freedom of expression, which Thai filmmakers do not have. A dark cinematic record of democracy in action, in all its farcical, obscene and heartbreaking details.

Citizen Juling (2008)
Terrorism proves to be the symptom, and not the cause in this documentary focusing on the Islamic insurgency in Thailand, a country already feeling the effects of a dangerously unstable democracy. The situation is seen from the perspective of outspoken Thai human-rights activist Kraisak Choonhavan, who, while making the journey southward, reveals an unseen side of the Muslim community. After living alongside Buddhists peacefully for generations, a large number of the Muslim population seems to have suddenly become violent. Over the course of just two years, over fifty Buddhists teachers have been killed. But why? As the Muslim separatist attacks become increasingly intense and Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra responds with growing force from military and government, a mutual mistrust on both sides paves he path towards violence and tragedy.

Bangkok Joyride 5: Dancing with Death (2025)
As before, there is no narration, no special VIP access, no set up; only direct experience on the streets which those who rule the world do not want us to remember. Part 5 of Shutdown Bangkok’s forbidden history from 2014, that marathon exercise in mass ahimsa Thai style, covers the blood-soaked Valentine’s “week they killed the children”–in central Bangkok by RPG rocket and in Trad by sniper fire. As the violence gets more explicit and protesters turn police cars into installation art, reality itself, as reflected in the film, becomes correspondingly more horrific and absurd. PS: Now that they have the full taste of their own Mr T Rex, American Anti-Trump protesters might even realise they have a lot to learn from people they’ve been calling undemocratic savages.

Dr Birdman (2020)
If you speak some Thai, it’s not hard to follow though unfortunately there’re no English subtitles for this lovely experience. Watching a cardiologist flip through fifteen books of nature sketches and notes, lovingly drawn and painted over thirty years, doesn’t sound like much of a movie. Instead of attending a lecture, however, we are absorbed and amused because our forest guide by art happens to be Rungsrit Kanjanavanit or ‘Dr Mong’, well-known Thai conservationist, bird-watcher and nature artist.

CSI Death of King Ananda (2024)
Retired automobile executive Kungwal Buddhivanid is a man on a mission, gripped by the driving need to cleanse and banish all murkiness from his country’s most shameful and forbidden—some would say, cursed—chapter of history: the death of King Ananda. After exhaustive investigation and experimentation, he began giving forensics lecture on ‘The King’s Death Case’ in many settings throughout Bangkok, including at Cinema Oasis just before the pandemic lockdown.
