A HEARTFELT film by Thai director Anocha Suwichakornpong, ‘By The Time It Gets Dark’ will be screened by Cardigan’s Theatr Mwldan Film Society on Sunday, November 26 at 5.50pm.

Looming large over this demanding but ultimately rewarding film is the military-led massacre of student demonstrators at a university in Bangkok in October 1976.

In a reflection on an artist's challenge in portraying reality, ‘By the Time It Gets Dark’ is a magical, melancholic ode to the intellectual's struggle against the forces of history, set within a shape-shifting narrative revolving around the making of a film about the clampdown.

The 2016 production carries a 12A certificate.
