'The Sweet Hereafter' at the FCCT

Screening at 7pm on Monday at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand, the much-acclaimed 1997 drama is by Canadian director Atom Egoyan, and it won many prizes, including the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. It was also nominated for two Academy Awards.
Ian Holm stars as the lawyer, who has his own personal conflicts to deal with on top of the dysfunction of the townspeople.
Part of the FCCT's Contemporary World Film Series, the screening is supported by the Embassy of Canada. Entry is Bt150 for non-members and Bt100 for anyone wanting to sip wine or try the Canadian snacks.
And there will be another entry in the series on May 30, with “Thy Womb”, a drama by noted independent Filipino director Brillante Ma Mendoza.
