Doi Saket Film Festival

If you're not very familiar with Chiang Mai and environs, you are probably wondering what this is about. And even if you are, you are thinking that 'Doi Saket' and 'film festival' do not compute, as Doi Saket is a sleepy village 15km north of Chiang Mai which is famous for its temple on the hilltop. But, from 23-30 October this unlikely venue, and others around Chiang Mai proper, will be the settings for screenings of numerous independent films from around the world. The official website finally has a schedule of the showtimes and places and can be downloaded here.
