Chaweng Chaiyawan’s short film Please... See Us (หว่างีมอละ) will be screened at the 4th International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies on 4th August, at Chiang Mai University. Please... See Us is a powerful and transgressive film, and ends with an extended sequence in which a pig is killed and dismembered, the helpless animal being a tragic metaphor for the plight of ethnic minorities in Thailand.
The film was shown at a Chaweng retrospective in Phattalung earlier this year. It had an outdoor screening in Chiang Mai last year. It has been screened twice at Doc Club and Pub in Bangkok, in 2021 and 2023. It was shown in Phayao as part of Wildtype 2021, and in Salaya at the 25th Thai Short Film and Video Festival (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์สั้นครั้งที่ 25).
