Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s thriller 6ixtynin9 (เรื่องตลก 69) will be shown at Banban Nannan Library in Nan on 22nd March. 6ixtynin9 was previously shown at Bangkok Screening Room in 2017, and on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority building in 2023. As part of a Pen-ek retrospective in 2018, it was screened on DVD at the Jam Factory and in 35mm at House RCA, and it was also shown at Alliance Française as part of another Pen-ek retrospective that year.
Pen-ek remade 6ixtynin9 as a Netflix series in 2023. He discussed the film in an interview for Thai Cinema Uncensored, explaining how the police department — which was in charge of film censorship in Thailand at the time of 6ixtynin9’s original theatrical release — insisted that he add a postscript to reassure viewers that the police were effective at combatting crime.
