Lee Chatametikool's Concrete Clouds will compete for the Golden Cyclo at the 20th Festival International des Cinémas d'Asie in Vesoul, France.
The fest also includes a 20th anniversary "carte blanche" program with Aditya Assarat's Wonderful Town, which Lee edited.

A release by the newly formed Mosquito Film Distribution, Concrete Clouds is about a stockbroker (Ananda Everingham) returning to Bangkok after the suicide of his father in the 1997 financial crisis. It previously screened in competition in Busan and is now in Rotterdam. It's the feature debut by Lee, who has long worked as a film editor and post-production hand on many, many films.
