Rattana Pestonji
He died just as he was giving a speech to government officials to call for support of a domestic industry he saw as coming under threat from Hollywood films.He returned to Thailand with an engineering degree, but continued to pursue his interest in photography and found a job as a film salesman.Tang won the Amateur Cine Competition in Glasgow, Scotland and Rattana was given the top award by Alfred Hitckcock, who was president of the jury.The film had a bit of everything – rustic comedy, music (including a full ballad by a Filipina singer), rough-and-tumble action and dark, thrilling drama.[4] The film concerns a wealthy Thai aristocrat who owns a hair treatment business and wants to repay a debt to his dear Indian friend.Finally, at 9 pm, after an address by Economics Minister Bunchana Atthakorn [th] and speeches by numerous other filmmakers and officials, Rattana's time to speak came.Here is an accounting of his speech: When I first started out in the movie business ... Sadet Ong Chai Yai [Prince Bhanu Yugala] had just hired me as a cameraman for a film he wanted to shoot called Phanthaay Norasingh [th].[1] Rattana's death was the first of two tough blows for the burgeoning Thai industry in 1970, for later in the year, it would lose its biggest star, Mitr Chaibancha, in a fatal accident during the filming of a stunt.The 10th Pusan International Film Festival screened Sugar Is Not Sweet, Black Silk, Country Hotel and Dark Heaven.
