9PM: FEATURE FILM - A sickly young woman experiences visions of her dead mother. She struggles to determine if the apparition is simply a side effect of her daily medication, or her mother actually reaching out to her from beyond the grave. Mattie Do’s CHANTHALY (2013, 98 min) is a different sort of ghost story. It represents the first feature film ever directed by a woman in Laos, and also the first ever horror picture in the history of a nation that is still under Communist rule and therefore officially disavows the presence of ghosts or, indeed, anything supernatural at all. The tension between past and present, between parents and children, science and tradition all factor in large here with the limitations of all building to a tragic conclusion.
