History

Introduction

Five Star Production was one of the first Thai film production companies to present films in international festivals^{[citation needed]} since 1976 with The War Lord. Tears of the Black Tiger, by Wisit Sasanathieng, was the first Thai film to compete in Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001, followed by Monrak Transistor by Pen-ek Ratanaruang, which was selected at Director's Fortnight of the Cannes Film Festival in 2002. Last Life in the Universe by Pen-ek Ratanaruang, Five Star's biggest co-production at the time, collected many awards, including the best leading actor award at the Venice Film Festival in 2003.^{[citation needed]}

Production House

An example of collaboration with other international artists is the 2006 production Black Night, an omnibus film of stories from Hong Kong (Patrick Leung's Next Door), Japan (Takahiko Akiyama's Dark Hole) and Thailand (Thanit Jitnukul's The Lost Memory).

Five Star Production was represented at Cannes in 2007 for Quinzaine des Realisateurs (Directors’ Fortnight) with the film Ploy, directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang in a co-production with Fortissimo Films. It was the director's second time chosen for the category at Cannes. Not only at Cannes was the film a success, but also in India for the Fipresci 9th Asian's Cinefan Fest of Asian and Arab Cinema 2007.

Muay Thai Chaiya was released immediately after Ploy and was a film honoring the roots of Thai martial arts. Selected as the closing film for the 2007 Bangkok International Film Festival, the film continued to Miami, Italy, and other places.^{[citation needed]}
