Solids by the Seashore (ทะเลของฉัน มีคลื่นเล็กน้อย ถึงปานกลาง) will screen at BaanGurt – บ้านเกิร์ต, Chiang Rai, on 29 August 2026 at 6:30 PM.

The film follows Shati, a young Muslim woman from a conservative family, who meets Fon, an artist and former activist who travels to a coastal town to present her artwork. As their relationship gradually develops, Shati finds herself caught between the love she has discovered and the cultural roots of a family that does not accept same-sex relationships.

The screening offers another opportunity for audiences in Chiang Rai to experience the film and engage with its exploration of love, identity, family, and cultural expectations.

Thai independent film Solids by the Seashore (ทะเลของฉัน มีคลื่นเล็กน้อย ถึงปานกลาง) will be screened this Saturday at Sati Bar Craft Cafe in Sukhothai, bringing the award-winning film to audiences outside Thailand’s major cinema centres.

The screening invites audiences to leave the city behind and look towards the sea—not simply as a landscape of waves and beaches, but as a space shaped by concrete structures, beliefs, memories, and relationships that may struggle to find a place to exist.

Directed by Itt Patiparn Boontarig, Solids by the Seashore explores the tension between nature and human intervention, asking what happens when people attempt to build solid structures against the force of the sea. What begins as an effort to protect the coastline may ultimately transform it forever.

The screening will be followed by a post-screening discussion, offering audiences an opportunity to reflect on the film and exchange ideas around its themes of environment, memory, relationships, and the impact of human intervention on natural landscapes.

The event is part of a growing network of independent and community-based screening initiatives bringing Thai alternative cinema to audiences in cities and communities beyond the traditional film circuit.

Solids by the Seashore will return to Bangkok for three special screenings at Sala Saneha, an independent cinema in the city.

The screenings will take place on 24, 25, and 29 June, with all screenings beginning at 7:00 PM.

The 24 June screening will be followed by a special discussion with director Itt Patiparn Boontarig and Prae Rawipa, who plays Fon in the film.

Tickets are available through ⁠Zipevent – Sala Saneha.

Thai filmmaker Itt Patiparn Boontarig recently brought Solids by the Seashore to Banban Nannan, a small community library in Nan Province that has become a gathering place for readers, artists, writers, and poets, and is now expanding its activities to include filmmakers and cinema audiences.

For independent and alternative films, reaching audiences outside major cities remains a significant challenge, particularly when films have limited theatrical releases. Community-led initiatives such as Banban Nannan’s screening programme offer an important alternative, allowing films to travel directly to audiences in smaller cities and local communities.

The screening was organised as part of “หนัง ๆ น่าน ๆ” (Nang Nang Naan Nan), with Itt invited as the programme’s first filmmaker guest. He expressed his appreciation to Natthapakan Khemkhao, Kru Tom, and Moke Chuepakdee for the invitation, as well as to audiences in Nan who attended the screening and took part in an open discussion in a warm and informal atmosphere.
