AMAZING STONERMovie Festival / Bangkok

Our spirit / Cinema Oasis

Reality is only
the beginning.

A festival for films that change the angle, open the door, or take us somewhere we weren’t expecting to go.

What makes a stoner movie?

It starts with
a different
way of seeing.

For programmer Dr Alice Skinhead, the idea reaches beyond familiar characters or psychedelic imagery. It is about a film’s relationship with reality: its distance, its perspective, its freedom to see things differently.

The festival welcomes that freedom in many forms—fiction, documentary, shorts, features and video art.

Bring curiosity. Leave room for surprise.

A shared cinema

All we weed is love.

01

Freedom to imagine.

Make room for images and ideas that fall outside the familiar.

02

Joy in discovery.

Find a film you didn’t know you needed to see.

03

Watching together.

Share the dark, the laughter, the surprise and the conversation afterward.

Foundation Cinema Oasis

A home for
creative freedom.

Cinema Oasis is a nonprofit cinema and art space in Bangkok. Its foundation supports freedom of expression and films and filmmakers who struggle to find a screen.

The Amazing Stoner Movie Festival is part of that wider commitment to the pleasure and possibility of cinema.
