If there is one film that could indict the genocide-killers of the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, who are currently being 'tried' under an International Tribunal ,which has already taken several years and cost nearly $ 150 million, it is this one.
What's astonishing is that it has not been seen or used by the Tribunal as evidence, judging by the statements of some of the members of the Tribunal, who addressed the media ,at the FCCT in Bangkok recently.
The film is especially import...
This is writer-director Jason Rosette with Camerado SE Asia, I hope you are all well!
Our 3rd feature, FREEDOM DEAL, is a drama withsupernatural and horror elements taking place in Cambodia during the 1970 civil war, as the US and North Vietnam slugged it out along the Cambodia-Vietnam border.

Over a period of fifteen years through 1975, known as the golden age of the Khmer cinema, Cambodia produced almost 400 films. Under the four year terror regime of the Khmer Rouge the Cambodian film industry and most of its worker were terminated with only 30 films left intact. Laboratories, films, and theatres were destroyed; actors and directors slaughtered. Very few were able to leave the country. Others lived underground, like the noted Mao Ayuth, disguising their professional background fo...

CAMBOFEST: Film and Video Festival of Cambodia is the first international, independent movie festival in Cambodia (and currently the only annual international movie event in Cambodia)
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.

‘CAMBODIA DREAMS’, DIRECTED BY STANLEY HARPER
LEKHA J. SHANKAR, Bangkok
As the world watches the historic trials of the atrocious Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, this is a good time to watch a ‘life-affirming’ film on the country, by a New Zealand director, who spent two decades of his life, to make it. Stanley Harper’s 18-year-old cinematic odyssey ‘Cambodia Dreams’ is an amazing film in more ways than one. Apart from being made against all odds in a political...
