ABOUT US
F.R.A.M.E.
Join the Fellowship of Revolutionary Art & Media Expression — or FRAME — a global network of artists and fans inspired by independent filmmakers and artists worldwide. Located in Chiang Mai, a city that has a rich cultural existence, FRAME is an active community dedicated to finding, appreciating, and celebrating film, art, and media of all forms.
From underground film and mainstream cinema to visual arts, experimental media, and cross-disciplinary productions, FRAME is a site for visionary thinking and impassioned dialogue. We offer ongoing screenings, performances, creative salons, and debates — often swapped while snacking and laughing — in which story, technique, culture, and imagination converge on and off screen.
Join us and become part of a dynamic, multi-platform community where everybody has a voice, every point of view matters, and every frame — in every medium — is an opportunity to connect and tell.
