The Thai Film Archive at Salaya will show a three-day film programme to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The event, Night @ Maya City 5, includes Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s popular classic Monrak Transistor (มนต์รักทรานซิสเตอร์) on 14th February, with screenings of other romantic films on 15th and 16th February. Monrak Transistor will be shown in a restored 35mm print, and Pen-ek will take part in a Q&A after the screening.
Monrak Transistor was last shown in 35mm at One Nimman in Chiang Mai in 2022, and it had a previous Valentine’s Day screening at Museum Siam in 2011. It was also shown at True Digital Park in 2022, and it had multiple screenings in 2018: at Bangkok Screening Room, Alliance Française, the Jam Factory, and House RCA.
Another Valentine’s-themed film programme, Fear Eat the Love, is taking place today at Bangkok University. An altogether racier Valentine’s film event, Erotica Love Film, was held in 2023.
