Panda Records will bring back Noise Market, the music-focused flea market on the lawn at Museum Siam, on June 3 and 4.
The event offers a chance to support exciting indie bands, arts, crafts, design, authors, and movies. With this year’s concept of “precycling,” encouraging sustainable and green living, the festival has asked all attendees to bring their own shopping bags, plates and cups for food you eat at the festival.
As you stroll along the Museum lawn at the free festival, enjoy local indie bands, booths featuring all sorts of interesting products, artisanal foods, and excellent people watching.
Not only that, starting at 7pm, The Bangkok Underground Film Festival is back for two evenings. Curated by JAM Cafe, the free open air screenings require no reserved seating and subtitles will be provided in both English and Thai.
On Saturday, the screening will be a mix of 10 outstanding short films and experimental work from Thailand, Estonia, Australia, Canada, Columbia, and the U.S. To conclude the first night, they will also be premiering budding Thai filmmaker Beam Wong’s new experimental science fiction short Flummoxed Cocoon.
On Sunday, they will screen the highly acclaimed My Buddha Is Punk by German filmmaker, Andreas Hartmann for it’s second time ever in Thailand after overwhelming success of the first screening earlier this year at the Bangkok Underground Film Festival. The documentary film follows the life of young idealistic Buddhist Punk, Kyaw Kyaw, as absolute military dictatorship in Burma ends after almost half a century.
The Bangkok Underground Film Festival at Noise Market is organized by Lee Anantawat from Speedy Grandma gallery, Dan Burman from Bridge Art Space, Sam Freeman from emesis and Dhyan Ho from Jam Café, with support from Panda Records and Museum Siam.
Reducing their carbon footprint, the vendors at Noise Market will donate excess food to non-profit organization, THSOS, who will deliver meals at no cost to multiple charities and groups in the greater Bangkok area to help those in need. If inedible, it will be used to teach Thai communities to grow sustainable vegetable gardens.
So grab your friends, some tableware, and head down to Museum Siam to enjoy live music and support local artists. Admission is free.
