Documentary
Two programmes that put Thailand on screen for Thai audiences — one every day since 1985, one built for the next generation.
Jodmaihet Krungsri
จดหมายเหตุกรุงศรี
One minute a day on Thai history, culture, craft and place — first broadcast on Channel 7 on 9 December 1985, and on air every day since. Superfine has produced the programme since 2022.
Each episode takes a single subject — a temple mural, a river trade, a craft that survives in one village — and gives it sixty seconds of care. Over four decades the programme has become part of how Thailand sees itself on television.
Superfine took on production in 2022 with a brief to bring the programme up to date while keeping what has made it last.

Years of shooting Thailand for Thai audiences is what makes the feature possible.
The research, the locations, the crews who know which village still makes the thing — it all carries straight into Scent of Silence, our feature developed in Nan for international audiences.
