Film Program, School of Digital Media and Cinematic Arts, presents the students' thesis exhibition, or BUFM THESIS EXHIBITION, under the title "Movie Season 10" This event showcases the work of 4th year students through thesis film screenings, while providing 3rd year students with opportunities to learn and practice organizing film festivals and exhibitions. The program emphasizes cross-year knowledge integration and enables students to apply their expertise effectively. The event is held at House Samyan, Samyan Mitrtown.
This event reflects Bangkok University's Practical University philosophy, with 3rd year students assigned responsibility for all aspects of the event, covering management, programming, public relations, events, and technical departments. Students have the freedom to choose work according to their strengths, develop the event concept independently, invite speakers, and design creative event formats under the guidance of faculty advisors acting as coaches. This process cultivates 21st century skills, including both Professional Skills and Soft Skills essential for working in the real world.
Beyond the Practical University approach, this project fully embodies Bangkok University's core identity (C+E+I). Students demonstrate Creativity throughout the event organization process to ensure the concept is innovative. They develop Entrepreneurial Spirits by learning event management as if launching a product to market—analyzing target audiences, creating new marketing channels, and dedicating themselves to managing the event with love and responsibility. The initiative also promotes Internationalization, with the event meeting international standards from the outset, aiming to showcase work on the global stage, welcoming international audiences, and practicing professional communication at an international level.
The Movie Season 10 Short Film Thesis Festival serves as a crucial bridge between the university and the professional world. Entrepreneurs and professionals from the film and digital media industries regularly attend to discover quality "content" and promising "new-wave talent." Additionally, students meet expert speakers and build strong networks among students, faculty, and industry professionals, opening pathways to career opportunities in their field with promising future income.
The BUFM THESIS EXHIBITION project for students from the Faculty of Digital Media and Cinematic Arts, Film Program, creates valuable experiences for students that extend beyond traditional classroom learning. It aligns with the Practical University direction, strengthening 21st Century Skills to prepare students with both life skills and professional competencies beneficial for future careers. Moreover, it creates a space that promotes the exchange of knowledge, perspectives, and ideas among film students. Most importantly, it creates opportunities for students to present themselves through their creativity to the general public in a tangible way.
