One way of thinking about Cambodian director Rithy Panh is that he is his country's Claude Lanzmann. Panh's films explore the 1970s Khmer Rouge genocide, which he witnessed first-hand as a young teen before fleeing to Thailand and then his adoptive France.
His 12th and newest feature, The Missing Picture, took the Un Certain Regard prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It stars clay figurines reenacting Panh and his family’s ordeal, blended with previous...

Now entering our 4th Edition, CAMBOFEST sets a standard for the region by screening all movies only with the permission of filmmakers/copyright holders. Our aim is to contribute to the return of a viable movie industry in Cambodia by showcasing movies by both international and local Cambodian filmmakers - and in the process, entertaining and 'edutaining' a whole new moviegoing audience.
Our most recent, 3rd edition took place in a vintage pre-Khmer Rouge cinema house which CamboFest staff discovered in Kampot, on Cambodia's South CamboFest brought that movie house, the Royal, back to life especially for the event - and truem pioneering movie magic was experienced by all festgoers and participating filmmakers.
