Art, Politics, and Censorship


FCCT

The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand in Bangkok will host a panel discussion tomorrow titled Art, Politics, and Censorship. Ing K. and Tanwarin Sukkhapisit will take part, and the event will be moderated by Bangkok Post film critic Kong Rithdee.

Ing and Tanwarin have both directed films that were banned by Thai censors. Tanwarin’s Insects in the Backyard (อินเซคอินเดอะแบ็คยาร์ด) was banned in 2010, and Ing’s Shakespeare Must Die (เชคสเปียร์ต้องตาย) was banned two years later.
