Production has begun on the three segments in Camellia, a.k.a. the Busan Project, which was announced at the Pusan International Film Festival last October.Wisit Sasanatieng (Tears of the Black Tiger, Citizen Dog) joins Japan's Isao Yukisada (Go!) and South Korea's Jang Joon-hwan Save the Green Planet) for the short-film omnibus about romance in Busan.
Wisit's "karaoke musical" segment, as reported by Twitch in October, will revive Iron Pussy, the transvestite secret agent character created by artist Michael Shaowanasai. She's been in a series of short films and a 2004 feature co-directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Seeing how Iron Pussy's persona is inspired by 1960s screen siren Petchara Chaowarat -- the era of Thai film that most influences Wisit -- it seems like a match made in a very strange and wonderful slice of heaven.
According to Asia Media Wiki, production began on January 15 and is set to conclude in March. Producers hope to get the film shown at the Cannes Film Festival or maybe Venice.
Wisit will then get back to work on Red Eagle, which is due for release later in the year.
