PHNOM PENH, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — Cambodia will launch its first international film festival this year to promote the country’s fledgling film industry, local media reported on Friday.
That was the message from government and industry officials on Thursday while announcing the launch of Cambodia’s first government-sponsored international film festival.
The festival will be held on the third week of October, the Chinese language newspaper Jian Hua Daily quoted Som Sokun, secretary of state for the Ministry of Culture, as saying.
or all have been converted to Casino or Night Club?
if you ask few people this question: how long haven’t you been to cinema? i believed you hardly get the answer.
it’s sad to live in a city where there’s no cinema. it’s hard to live in a city where there’s no art activity. it’s hard to live without dream.
Phnom Penh is one of await cities for the magic boxes to light up the dream and creativity. this city is waiting for art performance to identity itself from the great and long-time culture. we should organize more activities, to reunite people, to communicate and get more understanding about each other.
life is not only to be lived for making money.
anyway there are few activities organized by CCF and few other organizations, few small cinemas we could find if we really want to. i myself never go to cinema these days. i heard recently there’s a new cinema room The Flickr but i never been there yet.
i probably go to cinema at Sorya this weekend. there’s a new film made by Khmer Mekong Film, which i joined the screen test a year ago. i still want to see the final version of the film.
Vanished is 2nd film by KMF, in form of Thriller about some beautiful girls that started to disappear one by one and we don’t really who is the murder.
the movie plot is fresh, capture the new image of the Phnom penh city and for sure you will scream out of yourself. the production crew did a lot of good work on this one. the film was directed by Tom Som (Cambodian), written by Matthew Baylis (British) and produced by Matthew Robinson (KMF’s founder).
watch out the post production activities of the movie and here after that enjoy the fabulous trailer of Vanished.
