None will have English subtitles. The only actual film unspooling will be Chatrichalerm's If You Still Love Me, which has been issued on English-subbed DVD by Mangpong and can probably still found by digging around in the bargain bins or scouring the lower shelves. The other movies being shown at House are on digital media of some form, probably VCD.

House was to have continued the Week of Siam series for one more month, wrapping up at the end of August with "A Tribute to Sinjai Plengpanich", but those plans fell through because of problems with the film distributors. However, House still plans to show The Love of Siam sometime in September.
