After Boycott Calls, Thailand’s Suphannahong Awards Reverses Rule Change That Excluded Independent Films

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Organizers of Thailand’s Suphannahong National Film Awards on Friday evening reversed an earlier rule change that had caused several filmmakers to call for a boycott.

The criteria stipulated that, to qualify for nomination, movies must be shown in cinemas (direct to streaming titles do not qualify), must have had a release in at least five regions or big cities, and attract audiences of at least 50,000 spectators. At least, one local media report said that the rules were introduced in 2019. But the change had little impact in the intervening years due to low levels of film production.
