7PM: FEATURE FILM - The Lao film industry has experienced rapid growth as more young people are making movies while the equipment has become more accessible and affordable. The International Film Festival in Vientiane – the so-called Vientinale – presents the screening of Anysay Keola’s feature film AT THE HORIZON (2011, 101 min) about two different worlds colliding: the wealthy influential people on the one hand and the poor and honest on the other hand. Sin, a wealthy boy had been spoiled by his parents and has never realized the importance of self-dependence and how to become a responsible man. The boy lives his life relying on his parents wealth and power, making him even more arrogant and pompous. Lud, a mute middle-aged man came from a rural area to be a motorcycle mechanic in Vientiane. His wife worked as a market woman and they had a six-year-old daughter. Though Lud’s life was simple, his family was warm and loving. One day Lud unexpectedly faces the greatest loss of his life caused by Sin.
