The Film Archive is holding an online talk on the country s film history tomorrow at 7pm via Zoom. Nang Sao Suwan Or Chok Song Chan: A Historiographical Debate On The Country s First Feature Film is the topic for the talk, which is being held to mark the premiere of Chok Song Chan (Double Luck) on July 30, 1927.
It was hailed as Thailand s first feature film. However, there s confusion as many people believe that Nang Sao Suwan (Miss Suwan Of Siam) should be recognised as such because it hit theatres in 1923.
