Produced by Khmer Mekong Films, 2009, 98min, Khmer version with English subtitles

Radio show presenter Maly deals with the personal problems of young Cambodians on a controversial nightly phone-in show. In quick succession, her co-host and producer are found dead. Maly is terrified her own life is in danger, even under police protection. As the threats mount and she feels increasingly at her wits’ end, the question for her and the audience is – will she crack before the murderer is caught?

Khmer People in the Hard Time

By Senee Mongkol, photographer

From October 24 until November 23

By Senee Mongkol, photographer
Organized by Photo Phnom Penh 2019

Unknown photographs of a Khmer Rouge camp and of the refugee’s camp of Khmer people in Thailand, around 1980, by Thai photographer Senee Mongkol show a deep interest and commitment to the people. The photographer, who died at the age of 33 in 1986 did those photos for himself, by interest and dedication. They have been modified with time, due to the bad conditions of conservation but it gives a new aesthetic to those historical images shown for the first time.

  • Archives


    The Bophana Center’s archives are both our pillar and our purpose. Our core mission is to give new life to any Cambodian-related film or audiovisual heritage by collecting and preserving movies, photographs and any sound records from Cambodia or from abroad.

  • Production


    Production is the second pillar of the Bophana Center. Because production and audiovisual archives are closely associated in one single location, the center has become a unique place that combines culture and development, heritage and modern audiovisual creation, filmmaking and multimedia.

Services

Since the launch of the Bophana Center, we have developed a wide range of services targeting various audiences, including individuals, civil society organizations, enterprises, and institutions.

“ What a great project! What a challenge! The Bophana Center questions memories, discloses and discovers them. And suddenly the whole collection helps illuminate the present. While spending some time there, I could feel that a dream was taking shape. And the sights and sounds were becoming weapons of massive construction. Thank you, Rithy, and congratulations to all.
