The Premier screening of “The Cursed Land” – a selected Thai horror film in the 18th edition of MOTELX  

On 13 September 2027, the Royal Thai Embassy joined hands with the Committee of MOTELX (Festival Internacional de Cinema de Terror de Lisboa) in organizing the premier screening of a Thai horror film “The Cursed Land” in MOTELX Festival. The Cursed Land is directed by Directors Panu Aree and Kong Rithdee and cast by Ananda Everingham, Jennis Oprasert, Bront Palarae and was screened on 13 and 16 September 2024 at Cinema São Jorge. The film was well received by the audience and the MOTELX organizer viewed that the MOTELX Committee has decided to bring the Cursed Land to Portuguese audience this year as the film portrayed distinctive culture and different spiritual faith from most of Thai horror films.

The Embassy also took this opportunity to offer the audience a glimpse of Thailand. The audience enjoyed tasting Thai finger foods and beverage while those who wish to seek their next travel destination could obtain information on several fabulous provinces of Thailand as their option to decide for far away vacation.
