  Welcome to the Phuket Film Festival (PFF) website. Here you will find all the information necessary to attend and/or participate in Thailand's newest and most unique film festival.
   
  This is our first year of operation so please excuse any "bumps" or "blips" along the way, as we set about to bring award winning and film festival acclaimed film to Phuket and in some cases, to select SF Cinema City theaters in Bangkok.
   
  In holding this Festival of Film, we are looking to:
 
  • Help diversify cultural activities on Phuket for both international tourist and local resident (Thai & foreigner) alike;
  • Raise image of Phuket as regional and international destination by holding a high visibility event;
  • Raise awareness of Phuket as a major center of business and commerce;
  • Contribute to the economic grass roots base of the Island and spur development and recovery from the tragic 2004 Tsunami.
  Additionally, we plan to:
 
  • Introduce a truly international sight and sound motion picture experience through the new SF Cinema City Jungceylon theaters;
  • Provide wide domestic, regional and international exposure for Festival partners;
  • Provide new anchor tourist attraction to help lengthen tourist "high season" on Phuket;
  • Offer film industry participants a chance to experience Phuket facilities first hand leading to expansion of film related business on the Island;
  • Raise awareness of the film makers of Asia to the need for preservation and proper care/archiving of audio visual attributes (which are cultural and historical attributes).
  Film Festival Logo
  Designed by Mr. Termbhan Mathawabhan of SF Cinema City, the name of the Film Festival is overlaid by an ocean wave which resembles a neo-modernistic Thai language character. Logo symbolizes Phuket's affinity with the sea and its Sino-Portuguese-Thai historical and cultural roots.
