App-learning on Khmer Rouge History is an application that allows users to learn the Khmer Rouge through smart devices (mart phones and/or tablets) which has free online access for all.
As a proposed reparation project in front of Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, the objective of the project is to educate the youth on Khmer Rouge History as well as to raise awareness about justice, human rights and peace hosting an exchange between Khmer Rouge survivors and the young people. The information and archived media existing in the app was validated by Cambodian and international experts of Khmer Rouge History.
Bophana Center is the creator of the project and focuses on teaching and understanding Cambodian History and culture which it has done since its foundation, through archives, movies, documentaries… App-learning on Khmer Rouge History is a way to preserve national memory and to reach the younger generations.
This project was Funded by the European Union and REI Foundation Limited.

In the framework of the project “Le Grand Voyage”, a film student exchange program between Switzerland and Cambodia launched by HEAD (Haute école d’art et de design Genève), 7 of Bophana Center’s film students traveled to Switzerland!
They visited HEAD in Geneva with two objectives: first, to finalize the post-production process of the short films that they had co-directed together with Swiss students who came to Cambodia in November 2015. Second, to co-present their newly produced films in International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH) with HEAD’s students. The films were enthusiastically welcomed by an international audience.
After the festival, the Cambodian students were invited to Bern by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) Head office. At the SDC office, in the presence of Ambassador H.E. Manuel Sager, the Bophana Center’s students presented their One Dollar Project short films which were made thanks to the support of SDC.
Bophana Center and its film students would like to extend their sincere gratitude to SDC and HEAD for their kind and generous support and the opportunity for rich intercultural exchange.
Together with the Goethe Institute in Vietnam, the French Institutes in Vietnam and Cambodia and the Bophana Center in Phnom Penh, Docmonde proposes a documentary script-writing residence and a documentary co-production meeting for Southeast Asian authors (Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei).
From February 22nd to March 5th 2016, at the Bophana Center in Phnom Penh, the selected authors will have the opportunity to develop their documentary projects. One trainer from Germany, writer and director himself, will mentor the program.
Together they will analyst the content and the esthetical options of their projects, they will screen films related to their projects, they will define the development possibilities, and finally write a new version of their script.
The training program is free of charge for the selected participants.
Qualification is not required but at least some experience in film-making (professional or non-professional), in link with the image (broadcasting, photography, visual arts…) or writing (theatre, literature…) would be preferable. The trainer will adapt to the development stage of the project and the experience of the participants to provide them with the relevant level of assistance they need to strengthen their projects. Beginners and experienced filmmakers can apply.
The projects should be presented by film writers/makers, whether or not they already have a producer, and good communication skills in English are required.
