About Pascal Adant
ผู้กำกับภาพยนตร์ และ Script Doctor ในกรุงเทพฯ
Born in Belgium into a family of painters, musicians, and photographers, Pascal Adant’s work is rooted in a diverse artistic upbringing. Now based in Bangkok, he integrates this multidisciplinary background into a cinematic practice that spans live action and animation. His films have been selected and awarded at prestigious international competitions, including Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival (receiving the Rail d'Or Award), the Hollywood Film Festival & Awards, the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, The Giffoni Film Festival, and many more, reflecting a consistent engagement with global audiences.
Visual Aesthetic and Technical Versatility
His transition from 2D animation to live-action fiction has shaped a directorial style defined by a strong graphic sensibility. This background allows for a highly aesthetic approach to digital and film cinematography, complemented by a focused dedication to actor direction. Furthermore, his experience as a script doctor and editor provides a practical advantage on set; this technical foresight allows for fluid improvisation and the ability to resolve complex narrative or production hurdles while maintaining the film's structural integrity.
The Medium and Preservation
The use of 16mm and 35mm film is a central element of Pascal Adant's work, valued for both its organic texture and its practical longevity. Beyond the immediate visual results, the choice of analog film addresses the long-term challenges of archival preservation. As a physical medium, film offers a level of durability that digital formats often lack, ensuring that cinema remains accessible and preserved as a tangible work of art for the future.
Producer & founder of Siam Sunset Pictures
Expanding his creative reach in Southeast Asia, Pascal Adant founded Siam Sunset Pictures, a Bangkok-based production house dedicated to storytelling with high international potential. The studio is currently developing two major feature films. Pascal Adant is a regular participant in the industry's most strategic gatherings, including the Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes and the International Animation Film Market (Mifa) in Annecy. His consistent presence at MIA Rome and MIPCOM allows him to effectively bridge his Bangkok-based projects with the global film ecosystem.
