The 2004 Bangkok International Film Festival is underway; it will run from 22 January to 2 February, showcasing around 150 films from all over the world. The festival includes a program on past and current Thai cinema, and another program dedicated to the films of the ASEAN countries (Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Indonesia and Malaysia). There is also a two-day focus on cinematography, during which an achievement award will be given to acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle.

ISU students William Barker and Adam Jones are currently teaching English in Bangkok and are attending the festival as correspondents for the Indy. They will issue film reports and interviews throughout and after the event.
