I had a leisurely breakfast, chatting with a producer also staying at the college. Then I spent an hour packing my duffel bag to ship back to Cambodia and deciding what to carry with me for the rest of the trip. I decided to pay the $10 Euros for a taxi to the Palais.

‘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...
Director: Guillaume Orignac.
« Khmers islam », a documentary filmed during the Spring of 2008 in Cambodia reveals the merciless repression suffered by muslims under the regime of the Khmer rouge (1975-1979). During those four years, when the entire Cambodian population suffered a ruthless descent into hell, the muslims had been particularly targeted by the Khmer rouge death machine which saw them as « enemy No.1 ».
CAMBOFEST: The world has once again taken an interest in Cambodia as a safe, fun, and unique cultural destination. Our aim is to contribute to the development of moviemaking in Cambodia by showcasing work by both international and regional filmmakers.
"CamboFest brings the magic of movies to the land of Angkor"
