Somchith Pholsena

Somchith Pholsena, whose name is also written Somchit Phonsena, was trained in film abroad, according to the Vesoul festival, and worked on the shooting of historical and propaganda documentaries for the state body that then held the monopoly of production. In 1983 he directed a war feature film co-directed by a Vietnamese filmmaker; the film's failure ended, according to the same source, his career as a director of fiction. In 2015 he was living quietly in France, where the festival found him and invited him to present this film.
