Cinema of Thailand

The cinema of Thailand dates back to the early days of filmmaking, when King Chulalongkorn's 1897 visit to Bern, Switzerland was recorded by Francois-Henri Lavancy-Clarke. The film was then brought to Bangkok, where it was exhibited. This sparked more interest in film by the Thai Royal Family and local businessmen, who brought in filmmaking equipment and started to exhibit foreign films. By the 1920s, a local film industry was started and in the 1930s, the Thai film industry had its first "golden age", with a number of studios producing films. Like some Southeast Asian film industries, the Thai film industry once had a decline, with the number of films made during the 1990s dropped from 113 in 1990 to only 32 in 1996. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Thai: ลุงบุญมีระลึกชาติ, translit. Lung Boonmee raluek chat), directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, won the Palme d'Or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
