Please... See Us


Please... See Us

Chaweng Chaiyawan’s Please... See Us (หว่างีมอละ) will be screened tomorrow at Maejo University in Chiang Mai as part of a double bill of Chaweng’s short films. 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 Chiang Mai University ealier this year, and at a Chaweng retrospective in Phattalung. 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 (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์สั้น ครั้งที่ 25).
