Middle-earth poster

Released in 2007, Middle-earth is a fantasy film directed by Thunska Pansittivorakul, running about 8 minutes.

What it’s about. A white dream of a gay film maker. Two naked men on a white sofa. Yet it remains in the imagination. Pansittivorakul is the most outspoken gay filmmaker in Thailand. Or in the whole of Southeast Asia, you could say. The fact that last year he received a Silpathorn Award, an official state prize for artists, was one of the few encouraging events in a country with a military regime and unpredictable censorship. The film is an ode to the male body. Two naked men on a white sofa. And a film maker who restrains himself.

Who’s in it. Middle-earth stars Putthithorn Kammak and Tarueti Sriwatana.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.2/10, Middle-earth has proved divisive with audiences.
