Hello from sunny Sanya, Hainan Island! 🎬☀️ This year’s 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival is buzzing as the Thailand Pavilion officially debuts. 🇹🇭🇨🇳
In 2025, the Chinese mainland and Thailand celebrate 50 years of diplomatic ties, and the pavilion is a prime example of how trade, tourism, culture and film are stronger than ever. From street-food cameos to blockbuster collaborations, young creatives are weaving new stories across borders.
Inside the pavilion, you’ll catch indie hits that riff on Bangkok’s neon nights, epic period dramas set in ancient Ayutthaya, plus live Muay Thai demos that feel straight out of your favorite action flick. 💥🥊 Don’t miss workshops with up-and-coming Thai directors and interactive panels on co-productions.
Tech lovers, rejoice! Get hands-on with virtual production demos blending AR and traditional filmmaking. Customize film posters through an app, explore a VR set tour in Chiang Mai’s jungles, and see how storytelling meets cutting-edge tools. 🚀📱
Whether you’re a budding director in Delhi, a TikTok dancer in Jakarta, or simply a movie buff, the Thailand Pavilion is your playground. The festival runs until December 10—so grab your crew, dive into Thai cinema, and spark the next cross-border collab! 🍿✨
