Screening
Fireball
Dir. Thanakorn Pongsuwan. 2009, 94 mins. Digital projection. In order to learn the identity of his twin brother’s attackers, Tai joins a team that plays “fireball,” an underground, hybrid, kill-or-be-killed sport that joins basketball, cage fighting, and martial arts and is controlled by the heads of organized crime in Thailand. All of the bloodlust takes place on the court, as Tai maneuvers through elegant air kicks, punches, and jabs to get to the truth. This Thai genre film is full of action, energy, and vengeance.
