ABOUT CAMBOFEST:

CAMBOFEST is Cambodia's first international movie event since the end of the Khmer Rouge era, and is Cambodia's only independent film festival (now entering our 4th year edition)

Our goal is to help restore a viable cinema industry in Cambodia by showcasing the new independent work of international and Cambodian filmmakers.

Without many functional cinemas remaining in Cambodia, CamboFest strives to seek out and restore to a working order vintage Cambodian cinema houses as venues for our event

(see pix from our previous event at http://cambofest.blogspot.com/2009/12/initial-pix-content-from-cambofest-2009.html )

This year, CamboFest teams up with the Cambodia-based youth group, Youth Association for Human Resource Development (YAHRD), in order to train Cambodian youth to participate in many of the festival's operations - this helps ensure CamboFest's ongoing future sustainability.
