A bleakly humorous fable on greed and exploitation, "Soul River" (Cambodia, di­ rected by Kulikar Sotho) is dotted with shots of uprooted trees and turbulent wa­ ters created by the construction of dams. The displaced Klang lives in the ruins of his village after repeated floods have driven neighbors downstream.

"The Unseen River," by Vietnamese film­ maker Phm Ngc Lân, is a romantic meditation on the cyclical nature of his­ tory. It follows a middle­aged woman searching upstream for her long­lost lover, while a young couple travels goes down­ stream seeking treatment for a strange ailment.

  • The Missing Picture1
    THE MISSING PICTURE1 WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY RITHY PANH Texte Christophe Bataille Produced by Catherine Dussart (CDP) and Bophana Production Rithy Panh Publisher Editions Grasset In Cambodia’s first Oscar-nominated film, Rithy Panh uses clay figures, archival footage and voice- over narration to tell a deeply personal story: “For many years, I have been looking for the missing picture: a photograph taken between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge when they ruled over Cambodia...On its own, of course, an image cannot prove mass murder, but it gives us cause for thought, prompts us to meditate, to record History. I searched for it vainly in the archives, in old papers, in the country villages of Cambodia. Today I know: this image must be missing. I was not really looking for it; would it not be obscene and insignificant? So I created it. What I give you today is neither the picture nor the search for a unique image, but the picture of a quest: the quest that cinema allows.” ENGLISH COMMENTARY/VOICE OVER21 In the middle of life, childhood returns. The water is sweet, and bitter. 1 Courtesy of Editions Grasset and Catherine Dussart (CDP). The Missing Picture won the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2013 Cannes International Film Festival, the Grand Jury Award at the Cinemanila International Film Festival, and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy awards (2014). In 2013 Rithy Panh was awarded Asian Filmmaker of the Year at the Busan International Film Festival. 2 English translation Letitia Farris Toussaint with the voice of Jean-Baptiste Phou.

  • Reception to Korean Cinema and Korean Cultural Troupes in Chennai
    Draft only Not to be quoted Reception to Korean Cinema and Korean Cultural Troupes in Chennai Dr G.Koteswara Prasad Professor Department of Politics and Public Administration University of Madras, Chennai 600 005, Tamil Nadu An upsurge of interest in the Korean society and Korean culture has coincided with full fledged participation of Korean cinema in the principal World film festivals during the last few years. The reception to Korean films in various film festivals like Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema 2002, Sanfrancisco Asian Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, Montreal Film Festival, Pusan International Film Festival, to name some of the festivals, seem to be fairly appreciative and the richness and the breadth of the films is being acclaimed by many discerning viewers. It is being suggested that Korean cinema is one of the most productive and successful film industries outside USA. Reviewing Korean cinema, Boris Trbic believed that the quality films produced in East Asia in 2000 indicate that “this region will in the foreseeable future remain at the helm of new and exciting tendencies in the world cinema.” Korean films are more internationalized among the Asian nations. Korean cinema addresses the questions of national identity, historical memory, gender and contemporary cultural issues in a critical manner and provide much scope for serious interrogation. A glimpse of contemporary mores and attitudes of Korean society is available through this media. Korean cinema both reflects and is reflected through the country’s political, economic social and cultural features. India is easily one of the largest producer of films for a long time and the Indian films are produced at least in 11 languages, though in some languages the number is not very large.

Not just for now, but for the future too. As ever, that Hamish Young Programme Coordinator is a work in progress.

    Gender and the Nation in Popular Cambodian Heritage Cinema A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES MAY 2014 by: Jessica Austin Thesis Committee: Miriam Sharma, Chairperson Barbara Watson-Andaya Jonathan Padwe Jonna Eagle Keywords: Cambodia, Cinema, Gender, Nation, Popular Culture, Sihanouk ii Dedicated to: My families, both near and far. iii Acknowledgements In researching this project for two years, I have been incredibly fortunate to receive the help, guidance, and friendship of a vast network of people living and working in Cambodia, Hawai'i, and the United States. None of this would have been possible without the support of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa, and generous grants from the Moscotti Foundation. I am also indebted to Severine Wemaerae, Gilles Duval, Rithy Panh, and Davy Chou for allowing me to naively interrupt many proceedings of the Memory! International Film Heritage Festival 1st Edition so that I could dive head first into the world of film archives, preservation, and filmmaking in Cambodia. The employees of the Bophana Audio-Visual Archive in Phnom Penh were extremely patient with me while I watched films and asked them incessant questions about film heritage, for which I am so very grateful. The youth organizations I worked with, Kon Khmer Koun Khmer and Preah Soriya student group at RUPP, were extremely generous with their time, and I extend my gratitude to all of the members of those groups.
