🎬 Short Film Talent – An Evening for the World of Cinema
Short Film Talent is an intimate cinematic gathering and one of the standout events in Bangkok for film lovers, storytellers, and curious minds who believe in the power of short films. On December 26, 2025, Bangkok Island invites you to slow down, breathe in the riverside air, and immerse yourself in a carefully curated evening dedicated to emerging voices in cinema.
Set against the gentle flow of the Chao Phraya River, this event offers a unique film experience that goes beyond a traditional screening and stands out among cultural events in Bangkok. It is a space where creativity meets conversation, where new directors are given a platform to shine, and where audiences are invited not just to watch, but to truly feel.
At the heart of Short Film Talent is the magic of short-form cinema. Short films allow stories to be told with intensity, originality, and emotional depth — often from perspectives rarely seen in mainstream film. This evening celebrates those stories: bold ideas, personal narratives, experimental visuals, and fresh storytelling approaches that reflect the next generation of filmmakers and creative events in Bangkok.
✨ A platform for new directors to shine
✨ Stories told from angles you’ve never seen before
✨ A chance for audiences to feel something new through film
For one night, the boat transforms into an open-air cinema floating on the river. The setting creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere rarely found in typical events in Bangkok, where audiences can sit back, enjoy the breeze, and let the films unfold naturally. There is no rush, no pressure — only storytelling, shared attention, and moments that linger long after the screen goes dark.
The evening features a curated selection of short films created by students and emerging filmmakers. Each film is chosen not only for its technical quality, but for its voice, perspective, and emotional impact. The program is designed to flow smoothly, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in each block of films while staying engaged throughout the night.
Beyond the screenings, Short Film Talent encourages connection between creators and audiences. Selected directors will be introduced, offering brief insights into their creative process, inspiration, or behind-the-scenes journey. These moments help humanize the films, turning each screening into a dialogue rather than a one-way experience — a key reason why this event resonates within Bangkok’s creative community.
After each film block, the space opens up for audience sharing and discussion. This is not a formal Q&A, but a relaxed opportunity to exchange thoughts, impressions, and emotions. Whether you are a filmmaker, a student, or simply someone who loves cinema, these conversations create meaningful connections and deepen the experience of the films shown.
The atmosphere of the event is intentionally easygoing and welcoming. It is a place where first-time filmmakers feel supported, where film lovers feel at home, and where curiosity is encouraged. Expect beautiful visuals, quiet emotional moments, laughter, reflection, and conversations that continue long after the final scene fades out — making it one of the most human-centered events in Bangkok.
The event takes place at Bangkok Island, located in Rama 3, Soi 64. The riverside setting offers a creative and calming backdrop that perfectly complements the spirit of the event. With the river flowing beside you and the city lights in the distance, the venue enhances the cinematic experience in a way few locations hosting events in Bangkok can offer.
