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.
Upcoming
Nakba Day
Palestinian Film Programme
In commemoration of Nakba Day, FRAME is organizing a special Palestinian Film Programme. This event seeks to honour the memory of the 1948 Nakba and shed light on the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people — a struggle marked by displacement, statelessness, and the continuous denial of basic rights.
Despite decades of injustice, Palestinian narratives remain underrepresented or distorted in mainstream media. We believe it is essential to provide a direct platform for Palestinian voices: filmmakers, artists, and storytellers who bear witness to their own history, culture, and resilience. Amplifying these voices is not only an act of solidarity but a necessary step toward truth, justice, and the acknowledgment of a lived reality that the world too often ignores.

Cinemata — Anthropocinema
A film programme depicting the intertwining nature of Capitalism and the Anthropocene
Curated by Maitreya Penkar — a collection of films exploring how the current geological epoch referred to by some as the Anthropocene is shaping socio-cultural structures and how its political and ecological repercussions are interconnected. Moving beyond traditional environmental messaging to explore climate change, species extinction, extractivism, manufactured landscapes, labour patterns, economic migration, and displacement in South and South-East Asia.
The programme is divided in 2 chapters:
i. The Human Epoch: A mix of documentaries and animations about water bodies: massive dam projects disrupting and displacing indigenous populations, dying rivers, collapsing ecosystems and the resulting socio-cultural changes in coastal communities.
ii. Posthuman and Beyond: A collection of experimental films and conceptual video art works. It takes the audience on a journey — starting from the beginnings of civilization to modern day industrialization, extraction and exploitation; personification of natural elements and supernatural elements from indigenous beliefs in relation to capitalist systems. Concluding with post-anthropocene — what’s next?
