On its third year, the Tingin ASEAN Film Festival shines a light on the lives of indigenous people, who continue to be marginalized in society.

“Many of these films also celebrate indigenous peoples’ languages, which are in danger of becoming extinct. Language, which is a carrier of culture, must be safeguarded,” said Annie Luis, head of the International Affairs Section of the NCCA, in a statement.

The Karen indigenous people of the Southern Klity Village of Kanchanaburi, and their struggle against a mineral processing company, are the subject of Thai director Nontawat Numbenchapol’s “By The River.” She is a recipient of the Young Filmmaker award from the Bangkok Critics Assembly. There will be lectures on the art of watching movies, indigenous peoples, and indigenous representations in Philippine cinema.
