Sweet, Sour, Spicy, Savoury, Salacious Shorts (SIDE A: KIN KHAO) with FFIGS - Weekend Culture: Block Party

Four Thai short films, each matched with a snack: that is the shape of SIDE A: KIN KHAO, curated by Deepag and Daryl of FFIGS as a tribute to Thai filmmaking and to Golden Mile Complex's history as a Thai enclave. The line-up spans Pom Bunsermvicha's Lemongrass Girl (2021, 17 min), about a pianist on a film shoot handed the job of keeping the set dry, and Tulapop Saenjaroen's Mangosteen (2023, 40 min), in which a man goes home to work at his sister's fruit processing factory before stepping back to write a novel. Sorayos Prapapan's Fatboy Never Slim (2016, 14 min) follows two overweight schoolboys weighing their options over a meal, with military service at 21 ahead of them, while Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke's La Double Vie de Maniejan (2013, 30 min) gathers four friends to eat and talk mangosteen, shamanism and voiceover.

It runs Sat 21 Nov 2026, 2.30–4pm at Filmhouse, 6001 Beach Rd, #05-00 — the venue sits beside the now-vacated Golden Mile Complex. Tickets are S$25–39. This is a larger edition of FFIGS' tactile, gastronomical encounter series, and a second programme, SIDE B: GOLDEN MILE, runs alongside it.
