Thai short films and short series (BL in separate list)

31 mins, directed by Nattawut Poonpiriya  Quietly, gently, heartbreakingly beautiful.

A masterpiece of economic story-telling. Rich enough to easily have been a full length film, but the acting and directing are strong enough and skilled enough to tell it through a few words here, a look there, and together that makes for a very powerful work.

44 mins  Nattawut Poonpiriya dir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5dIeA7KCMo

I don't have adequate words for this. The more this story progressed, the more I loved it. 

4 x 10 mins; youth web series with four very young familar faces - Jan, Ciize, Chimon and Nanon; friendship and young love, highly recommended

8 x 20+ mins; Nadao Bangkok's youtube. Good use of vertical format to keep it tightly focused on specific characters' points of view. Unsettling suspense/mystery. Violence has happened (see mdl reviews for content warnings).

3 parts: 15 mins, 11 mins, 6:40 mins, rated 10 x 2 viewers 

Two part prelude plus a music video which finishes the story. Poignant. The emotions and story line are clear even without subs.

27 mins, short film on bullying and violence in school, lesbian lead

34 mins. Thanit Yantrakovit dir   About things unsaid...

55 mins, Thai PBS.  Sweet story about a young boy who falls in love with Khon traditional dance

4 x 25 mins  I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. It's intentionally disorientating and one to think about.

15 mins.  Short film, friendship, 3 high school girls, adapted from a song

Sweet, gentle, easy to watch as 4 half hour episodes rather than a 2 hour movie. Loved how truly women-centered it is. Perhaps not as overtly lesbian as some international fans would like, but pay close attention to the end.

Vibie (2022-3), 8 x 10 mins or less   Boy and Tod from Ghost Host, Ghost House
Individual shorts using coffee styles as metaphors for relationship situations. Entirely set in Boy's coffee shop. Diverse rep in couple pairings.

4 x 21 mins; het high school genre includes supernatural

4 x 21 mins, Nattawut Poonpiriya director (2018)

7 mins  Singto Prachaya a year before SOTUS. i think his char is gay but the story isn't BL? haven't looked for it yet

3 x 18 mins (reviews indicate that it's more of an educational thing for young people than a drama)

24 mins, Nattawut Poonpiriya dir (2023)

Unable to find raw or subbed. Two of his earlier shorts are on youtube so hoping...

25 mins, Thanit Yantrakovit. Hope to find.

46 mins, Thanit Yantrakovit. Need to find on safer site.

4 x 9 mins  GL webseries

40 mins, gay character but not BL so in this list for now

8 mins, lesbian (youtube without subs)

short horror anthology, 4 x 19 mins. on youtube but English subs are auto-translated from auto-generated Thai subs

52 mins. Not Me director Anucha Boonyawatana's graduate film project. Atmospheric, metaphorical, gay and questioning characters.
