After three years of absence due to the pandemic, The Silent Film Festival In Thailand returns next month with a programme of classic films from around the world screened with live music. Organised by the Thai Film Archive, the 7th edition of the festival will take place from June 2-4, at the Thai Film Archive, Salaya.
This year's programme is packed with many well-known classics from the silent era, with the headline including Eric von Stroheim's 1922 drama Foolish Wives, starring the director himself with Miss DuPont, an iconic American silent-era actress. The event will screen the recently restored version of the film, with the extra 50 minutes of footage added to the previous and incomplete version.
