ThaiLinks presents the third biennial Thai Takes: Independent Film Festival, curated and produced by the collective, as a snapshot of Thailand's emerging and ever-diversifying film community and new Thai American voices. This unique program includes 20 U.S. premieres with features by acclaimed directors Wisit Sasanatieng, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, and Jira Maligool; documentaries including the U.S. premiere of Areeya Chumsai and Nisa Kongsri's breakout debut film Innocence; and experimental short films including the U.S. premiere of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's The Anthem. Select screenings will be followed by discussion with the filmmakers. Coinciding with Songkran, the Thai new year, Thai Takes 3 opens at the Museum of the Moving Image from Friday April 13 to Sunday April 15, and continues at The Pioneer Theater from Saturday April 21 to Sunday April 22.
