Cast and crew members from the movie Choi Voi (Adrift) will head to Thailand this month to attend the Bangkok International Film Festival.
Director Bui Thac Chuyen, Vietnamese-American actor Jonny Tri Nguyen and Vietnamese-French actress Pham Linh Dan will attend the event from September 24-30.
The one-week event will showcase more than 80 feature movies by filmmakers from the host country and the ASEAN region, and a selection of some of the most exciting and innovative international films.
Adrift will vie for recognition in the Main Competition for movies made by first and second-time directors, and the Southeast Asian Competition, another key category for the film festival.
Chuyen and the cast have travelled to Italy for the Venice Film Festival, where the movie was screened in a category featuring new trends in world cinema.
The movie is currently being presented at the Toronto International Film Festival until September 26. It’s expected that Adrift will be widely screened domestically next year.
