Script writers workshop presented by two Thai experienced experts: Lecturer Nathaphon Amorntut at Siam University in Bangkok and Mr. Phairat Chaikaweephun specialized in doubling music of films. The workshops initially scheduled from 8 to 11 am started around 8:30 and prolonged to 1:30 pm with a Cambodian writer Mak Suong on the mic helping the two Thai-speaking presenters in interpreting for the event. Two movies, a 30-minute film by Prof. Nathaphon Amorntut that won World Number One Award of short films as asserted by the artist himself and another 90-mn-long film by unnamed foreign artist -- were screened along with their interpretation for the seminar followed by Q&A period. At the end of the workshop, family-photos were taken. Apart, some posts as shown here -- with me at the centre, Lecturer Nathaphon on my right, Phairat on my left and another Thai girl kneeling on the latters left -- were kindly shot by Mr. Ly Bun Hien using my phone camera. Mr. Ly is the owner of the Chlang Den Production and the sponsor of the event with Mrs. Sreychhouk Chhouk Meas as his entertainment companys General Manager. The attendees were asked to work in 3 groups to write film scenarios in 15 minutes. I was in Group 3 that discussed and wrote a short story on Hang Borings theme, just each of us put some inputs to develop it: A widow liked buying second hand goods from different countries. The initial [dead] owners of the items came to the womans house at the notice of her neighbours. The items should in Borins initial ideas be collected to a museum. I suggested they be ritualized in Khmer traditional ceremony and sent to their country of source. The Group 1 wrote about Glasses worn by Prof Khem Chan SokAkHaing, the coordinator of the workshop and one of the groups members -- the inspiring object -- whereas Group 2 wrote their theme on a girls death related to the social media use. The presenter Nathaphon praised the three groups works as originally good he had never heard of. We hoped to have such opportunities next time.
