The highly anticipated Contemporary World Film Series is making a return to TK Park this year, starting with a powerful film from Guatemala. ‘September – The Silent Cry’ (‘Septiembre, un llanto en silencio’). Directed by Kenneth Muller, it will be screened on Saturday, 29 June 2024, at 4:00 pm. Supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Guatemala to the Kingdom of Thailand, this marks the first Guatemalan film to be shown in Thailand.
Kenneth Muller, a prominent filmmaker from Guatemala, delves into a deeply personal and tragic story of love, resilience and the human spirit. The film begins with a harrowing bomb explosion by terrorists, killing a mother and leaving her baby deaf. This fictional depiction is inspired by a real-life event on 5 September 1980, when guerrillas bombed a bus, an incident that profoundly impacted the director's family.
For reservations, email filmforum17@gmail.com. Tickets are priced at 20 Baht, with the auditorium opening at 3:30 pm.
