FilmWALK follows, in long shots, the journey of a man who grew old on the rice fields. He visits acquaintances, talks with them, prepares his meal, prays, rests. He embodies all the simple, elementary, and most important things in life. This portrait of rural Thailand was made without any script and while working with the locals. The camera is in such harmony with the situations it films that it evokes a sense of immediate witness. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
