Reamker, dance with the gods
Directed by Stéphane Lebon, 1993, 52 minutes, Khmer version
This documentary describes the history of Khmer classical dance, the Royal Ballet, from the sculptures on the temples of Angkor to the dance practice at the University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. After the influx of television, the traditional dance of the Cambodian people seemed to diminish, while the elders tried to keep it.
