^ Just don't set your heart on a particular movie.

Thailand's film festivals are notorious for movies not actually getting shown.

Either because of intervention by the censors or a 'couldn't organise a gang bang in a brothel' approach by organisers.

Wrong timings, films in polish with no subtitles, films that were never booked in the first place but looked good on the flyers. Films advertised at one venue but being shown at another.

I've seen it all (or rather, I haven't)

Show up and view seeing the films as a bonus and you'll be fine.
