Colin Beckett: "Whether by design or circumstance, this June has become Thai Cinema Month in New York, with an array of the city's art houses and museums boasting otherwise hard-to-see gems from the Thai film renaissance that began in the late 1990s. But the biggest cause for celebration is the belated arrival of two films by Uruphong Raksasad — Agrarian Utopia (2009), running at Anthology Film Archives June 10 - 15, and Stories from the North (2006), which plays Museum of the Moving Image on June 5 [this afternoon at 3] — whose formal ingenuity and geopolitical urgency make the familiar generalizations about national cinemas seem quaint, if not willfully narrow."
Updates, 6/10: For Michael Joshua Rowin, writing for Artforum, "here is an undeniably stunning work of visual art, a premiere example of the equal footing hi-def digital video now holds with celluloid filmmaking. Acting as his own cinematographer, Uruphong finds intimate wonder in lush, verdant hills; in twilights...

In the beginning of the film, Mary (Alana Kearns-Green) and Marie (Alexandra Roxo) spend the night at the grandpa's house at the wake of their mother's passing. Mary insists on sleeping in the same bed with the old man. This sweet, innocent gesture sets the tone of Mary Marie, an erotically charged yet gentle 'growing up' film by writer/director/star Roxo. The two girls resume their lives in a suspended state of childhood in a big house filled with the family artifacts and memories. They take baths together, sleep in the same bed, and play dress-up. This fragile, temporary/eternal tranquility is disturbed as Peter (Tim Linden), a local handyman hired to take care of the house, enters the picture. After initial flirting, Peter and Marie...

Two women (Alexandra Roxo and Alana Kearns-Green) set out to make their first feature... with no experience and no money. With a little help from a Monkee (!), Mary Marie is premiering at the Brooklyn Film Festival on June 4. Having your first feature film screen in New York is awesome. Any way you cut it, it's a victory. On June 4, the feature film I co-wrote and co-starred in, Mary Marie, will be premiering at the Brooklyn Film Festival. It is one of 14 features programmed out of 2500 submissions, so needless to say, I am honored. As director Victoria Mahoney (Yelling to the Sky) recently told me, 'Every time a woman gets her film into a festival, 20 more gals get to follow.' She is right, and we are proud. Two years ago, my friend Alana Kearns-Green and I decided to make a feature film. We were sort of stuck, ...
