Cinema Oasis programme 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cinema Oasis opens with a mini-festival of 6 enrapturing and soulful films that take us far beyond simplistic Siamese exotica, contemporary or otherwise. \u00a0Despite their serious demeanour, these lyrical, immersive films absorb & entertain with searing truthfulness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 1970\u2019s underground cult classic like a crack in the earth, tells of a farmer\u2019s struggle against a US & World Bank mega project, a monster dam that steals his land and leaves him high dry. The great music is by co-director Surachai Janthimatorn aka \u2018Nga\u2019 of Caravan band, the \u201cThai Bob Dylan\u201d.\u00a0 Anonymously directed by 4 illustrious filmmakers at the height of the Yankee Go Home wave in Thailand, this first outsider independent Thai feature is part of our liberation from Uncle Sam\u2019s Evil Empire.<\/p>\n
