Thai filmmaker win award at South Korea's Asia Art Award

Filmmaker, Apichatpong Weerasetakul, won a top prize at South Korea's Asia Art Award with his 2009 short film "Phantoms of Nabua". He received a prize, the award and 20 million won (about 576,000 bath) at a ceremony at Seoul Olympic Museum of Art. Prof Apinan Poshyananda, deputy permanent secretary of Thai Culture Minisry, said "A Thai filmmaker winning the award proves that the film industry and contemporary art in Thailand are of a high standard in the Asian context". The film is made in Nakhon Phanom, the village of Nabua, which locates near Thai-Laos frontier. The aiming of this award arm encourage and promote young artist up to 40 years old. He wins this award because he tells history in an easy way to understand.

In my opinion, I think it is another pride of Thai people that there are still have Thai people won award from the international stages. it is an example for young filmmaker who want to be successful artists.
