Warat Bureephakdee’s Crazy Soft Power Love will be shown tomorrow at Boonwattana School in Korat, as part of the one-day With Love and White festival of short films. This will be its second screening this week, as it was also shown at เทศกาลถนนศิลปะ ครั้งที่ 22 (‘the 22nd street art festival’) in Khon Kaen on 16th February.
Crazy Soft Power Love is a satire on the government’s soft power strategy, culminating in a Songkran water fight that escalates into a brawl, intercut with footage from the 6th October 1976 massacre at Thammasat University. It was previously shown at Wildtype 2024, at the fourth Amazing Stoner Movie Fest (มหัศจรรย์หนังผี ครั้งที่ 4), and at last year’s Short Film Marathon (หนังสั้นมาราธอน).
