Bangkok Art and Culture Centre presents “Cinema Diverse: Director's Choice 2016: The Female Perspective”.

For the fourth Cinema Diverse, four international films, selected by five acclaimed female Thai directors, will be shown bi-monthly from May – November 2016.After each screening there will be a post-screening talk and a Q&A session to discuss ideas and thoughts about the film with the directors. 

The first screening on Saturday 21 May 2016 is The Pearl Button (Chile / 2015) directed by Patricio Guzmán and chosen by Soraya Nakasuwan, an acclaimed Thai director of Final Score and Rahtree Sawasdi.

The Pearl Button is a 2015 Chilean documentary film. It was screened in the main competition section of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival where it won the Silver Bear for Best Script. It won the Lumières Award for Best Documentary at the 21st Lumières Awards. The film is part of a triptych with Nostalgia for the Light and potentially a third film focusing on the Andes, exploring familiar Guzmán themes such as memory and the historical past, particularly of that of the history's "losers" rather than victors, as it documents the settlement of Chile’s Tierra del Fuego, including some of the last surviving descendants of the original Alacalufeand Yaghan inhabitants.
