Golden Slumbers
Over three million Cambodians died in the genocide between 1975 and 1979. The Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror also decimated a homegrown film industry that had flourished since 1960: movie theaters were bombed, film prints were destroyed and artists were executed. In Golden Slumbers, French-Cambodian filmmaker Davy Chou mourns this loss of lives and culture, but balances the somber material with a playfulness that honors the lush melodramas and mythic adventures of the glory years.
Redlight
A powerful feature documentary about child sexploitation, an epidemic happening in every country around the world. Filmed over a four year period, REDLIGHT focuses on the personal stories of young Cambodian victims and two remarkable advocates for change: grass-roots activist Somaly Mam and politician Mu Sochua. Using gritty footage smuggled out of brothels and harrowing testimonials, REDLIGHT follows the plight of several current and former child sex slaves. Some are trying to regain entry into Cambodian society to find some semblance of normality after their horrific experiences. Other stories highlight the plight of victims who are attempting to bring the perpetrators to justice. Their torturous yet ultimately heroic battles to find witnesses and take brothel owners to court are dramatically brought to life in this topical and moving feature documentary.

La imagen perdida
Durante muchos años el director Rithy Panh ha buscado una fotografía que le faltaba: Una instantánea tomada entre 1975 y 1979 de Khmers Rouges cuando se encontraba en Camboya. Por supuesto, por sí misma una imagen no puede probar el genocidio, pero nos anima a pensar, a meditar, escribe la historia. La buscó en vano en los archivos, en documentos antiguos, en el campo camboyano. Para suplir esta ausencia, ha creado este largometraje que no es una imagen, ni la búsqueda de una imagen única, sino la imagen de una búsqueda: una búsqueda que sólo el cine permite llevar a cabo. El filme se presentó a competición en el Festival de Cannes de 2013 en la sección de "Un certain Regard".
