History of the Thai Film Industry
In the year 1970, Mr. Boonchana Attakorn,
Minister of Commerce appointed a committee to study problems of local
film industry, the importation of foreign movies and related issues. The
Cabinet then appointed the Thai Film Industry Promotion Committee for
the first time, with the Minister of Commerce as the chairman.
In 1976, the Ministry of Industry proposed that the composition of the
Thai Film Industry Promotion Committee be amended, with the Ministry of
Industry, Mr. Banharn Silpa-Archa as chairman, and the Director-General
of the Public Relations Department as a member. In the following year,
the committee appointed a sub-committee to study the problems of local
film industry, chaired by Director-General of the Public Relations
Department. A seminar was organized at the Government House from 29
April to 1 May 1977. Proposals were made to the Ministry of Finance on
tax measures to help local film industry.
In 1981, the Thai Film Industry Promotion Committee was amended again,
with the Director-General of the Public Relations Department as member
and secretary, assisted by the Director of the Audio-Visual Production
Division. The Secretariat was set up as part of the Division, as the
first permanent office of the committee, with responsibilities over the
organizing of the Thailand Film Festival, and participation of Thai film
industry in international film festivals. The Secretariat also became
part in the foreign film censoring panel in operation by virtue of the
1930 Act on Film Industry.
In 1982, a sub-committee was appointed to be in charge of foreign film
shooting in Thailand, as there were 72 documentaries and 3 feature films
with locations in Thailand. Also, the promotion of local film industry
was made vigorously. The Public Relations Department gave frequent free
shows of Thai films in its auditorium.
Subsequent administrations carry on the promotion of film industry, with
the Public Relations Department as the core agency. The local film
industry has also developed steadily. The shooting of foreign films in
Thailand also increase with time, bringing in a large amount of income
to localities and related businesses. As the coordinating agency, the
Public Relations Department uses its network of public relations offices
and broadcasting stations to support the operations effectively.
During the time of Dr. Piyasvasti Amaranand as Director-General during
2000-2001, a study group to restructure the Public Relations Department
for efficiency, recommended that the film promotion works be transferred
to other organizations, or maintained as a division outside the National
Policy and Planning Office. At the same time, ministerial regulations of
the Prime Minister’s Office concerning the shooting of foreign films
were amended to further facilitate the operations. The Film Promotion
Division also successfully applied for membership of the Association of
Film Commissioners International, AFEI.
With the restructuring of the government bureaucracy by the Thaksin
Shinawatra administration in 2003, the Film Promotion Division was
transferred to the newly set up Ministry of Tourism and Sports in
January 2003.
