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.
Please... See Us will also be screened as part of next year’s เทศกาลถนนศิลปะ ครั้งที่ 23 (‘the 23rd street art festival’) at Khon Kaen University’s Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. The event, organised by Art Lane, has been rebranded as the Art Freedom Festival under the theme of Art Rock, and will run from 13th to 15th February 2026, with Please... See Us screening on the second day.
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).
