The Chiang Mai Film Festival 2025 (เทศกาลหนังแห่งเมืองเชียงใหม่ 2568) will take place from 9th to 13th July at the Chiang Mai Cultural Centre. Exactly 100 short films have been selected, and highlights include Koraphat Cheeradit’s Landscape of Us on Fire and Warat Bureephakdee’s Crazy Soft Power Love (both screening on 10th July), Patipat Oakkharhaphunrat’s Black Hole (on 13th July), and Vichart Somkaew’s The Poem of the River (บทกวีแห่งสายน้ำ; on 11th July). This year’s theme is Spirit of Local (จิตวิญญาณแห่งท้องถิ่น).
Crazy Soft Power Love and Black Hole were both previously shown at the fourth Amazing Stoner Movie Fest (มหัศจรรย์หนังผี ครั้งที่ 4). Black Hole was screened at The 27th Short Film and Video Festival (เทศกาลภาพยนตร์สั้น ครั้งที่ 27).
Crazy Soft Power Love has been screened at Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (ไปให้สุด หยุดไม่อยู่), White Love and White, and เทศกาลถนนศิลปะ ครั้งที่ 22 (‘the 22nd street art festival’). It was first shown at Wildtype 2024.
The Poem of the River was shown at the Isan Creative Festival 2025 (เทศกาลอีสานสร้างสรรค์), and Landscape of Us on Fire was shown at the same event last year. The Poem of the River had its Thai premiere as part of a mini retrospective of the director’s recent work, Vichart Movie Collection. All four films were included in the Short Film Marathon 28 (หนังสั้นมาราธอน 28)
