For the third Cinema Diverse, five international films, selected by five acclaimed Thai directors, will be shown bi-monthly from March \u2013 January 2016, followed by a talk with the Thai director after each screening.\n<\/div>\n<div>The fourth screening on Saturday 5 September 2015 which is supported by the Korean Cultural Center in Thailand,\u00a0is <strong>The Chaser (Korea \/ 2008)<\/strong> directed by <strong>Na Hong-jin<\/strong>. It has been chosen by <strong>Banjong Pisanthanakun<\/strong>, an acclaimed Thai director of <strong>Pee Mak, Hello Stranger and Shutter<\/strong>.\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>The Chaser<\/strong> is Na Hong-jin\u2019s directorial debut. The film had grossed over $35 million (1.2 billion baht) in South Korea alone. Apart from its commercial success, <strong>The Chaser<\/strong> was screened out of competition in the Cannes Film Festival 2008, and won 6 Korean Film Awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor. It has been praised as one of the best Korean action-thriller movies of all time.\n<\/div>\n<div>Ex-detective pimp Jung-ho is angry because his girls keep disappearing without clearing their debts. One night, he gets a call from a customer and sends Mi-jin. But when Mi-jin meets the customer, Jung-ho realizes the phone number of the customer matches that of the calls the missing girls got last. As something smells fishy, he searches for her. During his search, Jung-ho dents a car in the alley. When Jung-ho spots blood splattered on the driver\u2019s shirt, he senses the man, Young-min, is the suspect. After an intense chase, Jung-ho finally catches Young-min. But because of Jung-ho\u2019s pretense as a cop, they are both taken to the police station. At the station, he bluntly tells the policemen that he has killed the missing women, and the last girl, Mi-jin, may still be alive. As the police force is obsessed with a random search for corpses, Jung-ho is the only one who believes Mi-jin is still alive. With only 12 hours left to detain the serial killer without a warrant, Jung-ho\u2019s hunt begins.\n<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI am crazy about thriller films. Of course I started with American thrillers but soon I formed the opinion that Korean directors make the best thriller movies. They seemed to be masters of suspense with excellent tension-building techniques. Their clever use of violence carries a real emotional impact, much like in this film, <strong>The Chaser<\/strong>. I used to believe that only directors from Western countries could make good movies about serial killers. The killers in these films would mostly come from the upper class, often being extremely clever but deranged. However after watching <strong>The Chaser<\/strong>, with its working class characters and the plain and simple motive of the killer, I realised that anyone can make a good thriller movie about serial killers. It showed what could be done once you have a good story and know how to play with the audience\u2019s emotions just like what <strong>Mr.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Na Hong-jin<\/strong> did superbly with The Chaser.\u201d <strong>Banjong Pisanthanakun<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Trailer:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fxm72hmhdXU \">www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fxm72hmhdXU\u00a0<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div>Join us for the screening of <strong>The Chaser<\/strong> and a post screening talk with <strong>Banjong Pisanthanakun<\/strong> and <strong>Na Hong-jin<\/strong>, the film director.\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Free entry\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>No reservation needed<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<div>*With Thai and English subtitles<\/div>\n<div>*Film screening starts at 17.30 hrs.<\/div>\n<div>*The talk after the screening will be in Thai with English translation.<\/div>\n<div>*The film is suitable for adults 15 years and over.<\/p>\n<div style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Font_DinDan, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;\">For more information please call 02 214 6630-8 ext. 528 and email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:activity@bacc.or.th\"><span style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\">activity@bacc.or.th<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Font_DinDan, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bacc.or.th\"><span style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\">www.bacc.or.th<\/span><\/a>\u00a0l\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/baccpage\"><span style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\">www.facebook.com\/baccpage<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Font_DinDan, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Font_DinDan, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Cinema Diverse: Director&#8217;s Choice 2015<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Font_DinDan, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;\">\n<div><strong>Saturday 14 March 2015<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit \/ Frances Ha (USA \/ 2012)<\/div>\n<div>With Thai subtitles\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Saturday 23 May 2015<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Aditya Assarat \/ Court (India \/ 2014)<\/div>\n<div>With Thai and English subtitles\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Saturday 18 July 2015\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Lee Chatametikool \/ How to Disappear Completely (Philippines \/ 2013)<\/div>\n<div>With Thai subtitles and English subtitles\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Saturday 5 September 2015\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Banjong Pisanthanakun \/ The Chaser (Korea \/ 2008)<\/div>\n<div>With Thai and English subtitles\n<\/div>\n<div><strong>Saturday 30 January 2016<br \/>\n* This date has been changed from Saturday 28 November 2015.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Apichatpong Weerasethakul \/ No (Chile \/ 2012)<\/div>\n<div>With Thai and English subtitles<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time:\u00a016.30 \u2013 21.00 hrs.
