Synopsis
10 Years Thailand is an omnibus film inviting four Thai directors to imagine their country a decade from now. The four are Aditya Assarat, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Chulayarnnon Siriphol, and Wisit Sasanatieng. Each contributes an episode that taken together, sound a warning about the current political situation in Thailand. Since 2014, the country has been ruled by a military dictatorship that has curbed dissent, public expression, and diversity of thought. A new nationalism is now being promoted with its own narrow rules of correct thought and correct actions. If this is allowed to continue, what will the decade ahead look like?

"Sunset" directed by Aditya Assarat

"Planetarium" directed by Chulayarnnon Siriphol
