Chaweng Chaiyawan’s short film Please... See Us (หว่างีมอละ) will be shown today at Me Goody Space in Bangkok as part of the venue’s First Light screening programme. 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 and Maejo University last year, and at a Chaweng retrospective in Phattalung. It had an outdoor screening in Chiang Mai in 2023. 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).
