After Siam and Lido, the first two standalone cinemas in Siam Square, disappeared in flames long ago, Scala cinema became the last stand-alone cinema in Bangkok that was still open until defeated by COVID 19 in 2020. Not long after its last film screening, it is announced that Scala will be dismantled. A filmmaker who’s also the daughter of one of its former employees, started to explore the Scala and unexpectedly faced her long lost childhood memories when she met her father’s old friend who arrived for the final job of dismantling their workplace.

ANANTA THITANAT

Born in Bangkok, Thailand, grew up in the Siam cinema where her father worked. The military crackdown on the Red Shirts protests in 2010 inspired her and Abhichon Rattanabhayon to start making their first short documentary together that year. Since then, she has worked with Abhichon as assistant director and cinematographer. “Scala” is her first feature film.
