Sonja The Squeamer spoke to Mattie Do, the very first female director from Lao, Do … ‘is the first female director of a Lao feature film. Her directorial debut Chanthaly is the first horror film written and directed entirely in Laos, as well as the first to be screened at major film festivals outside of Southeast Asia. Chanthaly succeeds as a ghost story that refuses to conform to the rules of neighbouring industries in Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan or anywhere else. It is no small achievement that Chanthaly exists at all, and worthy of genuine praise and attention for proving such an engaging and unsettling piece of work. – James Marsh, Twitchfilm.com Below Image from her film : Chanthaly. Pop singer Amphaiphun Phimmapunya stars in the leading role as Chanthaly, alongside Douangmany Soliphanh and Soukchinda Duangkhamchan Mattie talked about her experiences as a very rare person indeed, the ONLY woman director from Laos, what that is like, the experiences in Lao and how it differs from the ‘West’, how she got the film made, the uniqueness of the Lao movie goer, what Horror films influenced her, being accepted for the Fantastic Film Fest, her next film and what to do after that ?…..World Domination perhaps? ( along with Tasmania .. of course! ) Mattie Do is here in Oz for the awesome Stranger With My Face Horror Film Festival currently on NOW in Tasmania!!
