I would love to attend this conference in Bangkok, I am currently a Ph.D scholar from the University of Hyderbad, India working on "Capturing immigrant experience on Diasporic Film". The conference deal only with Southeast Asian cinema alone.It would be good to see how South Asian diasporic cinema is different from Southeast Asian transnational/diasporic cinema.


Southeast Asian Cinemas at the Borders
August 15-16, 2005, Thammasat University, Bangkok Thailand
Conference Co-hosts: Thai Film Foundation and The Southeast Asian Studies Program (Liberal Arts, Thammasat University)

Southeast Asian film continues to be an important site in which the struggle over the imagination about selfhood, communities, and nation takes place. Not only is film about the imagination, but film is also a powerful culture industry working within the market and various national regulations and policies. The second conference takes up these interwoven themes through its twin goals of enhancing teaching and research in Southeast Asian films.
