"Happy New Year (คืนข้ามวัน)" received an Honorable Mention in the Ratana Pestonji Award category at the 28th Thai Short Film & Video Festival. The award announcement took place on December 22, 2024, at the Thai Film Archive (Public Organization).
The award was accepted by Chaweng Chaiyawan, a visiting lecturer and the film’s director, while Asst. Prof. Kringkarn Jaroenkul, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Educational Quality Assurance, attended as the film’s producer to congratulate the team.
The jury panel praised the film, stating:
"All three jurors were impressed by this film, which portrays a slice of ordinary life—moments from the lives of a small, seemingly insignificant group of people—with a gentle and empathetic perspective. The director employs a simple yet direct cinematic language, allowing the audience to genuinely feel the characters' real-life experiences, making the film feel truly alive."
Congratulations to the team from the Faculty of Information and Communication!
