      [introduction]
      Jakrawal NILTHAMRONG's feature directorial debut “Vanishing Point” begins with a collage of newspaper articles about a car accident in which his parents were seriously injured. Before long, the film goes on to depict the respective lives of two characters, and the ill feelings they carry with them. One is a young journalist investigating a murder in a forest. The other is a middle-aged motel owner in a relationship with a young woman, despite having a family of his own. Their stories intersect exquisitely, working in various subject matter such as religion and folklore, and culminating in unexpected developments. Its unique storytelling style, in which several parallel narratives proceed together, and its astounding cinematographic technique, which is most conspicuous in its forest scenes, are just two of the aspects that mark NILTHAMRONG as a formidable talent.
