Screening and VANN NATH Autograph
@ Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center
64 Street 200 (map)

Saturday Nov. 13, 15:00

The Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center in Phnom Penh, led by the filmmaker Rithy Panh, sponsored in 2008 and 2009 workshops for creative production by young Cambodian visual artists, conducted by two artists who are survivors of the genocide, Vann Nath and Séra.
Working with the Center’s archives and entering into dialogue with their elders, these young artists achieved works that express the tragedy whose traces are still borne by their country. Although they did not experience this tragedy themselves, their work constitutes a living memory of it. This book and the DVD accompanying it tell their story.
To celebrate the launch of the book “Cambodia, the Memory of workshop”, the Bophana Center is pleased to organize:
The Screening of Guillaume S. Petit Documentary related to this workshop (38 min, English subtitles)
And to welcome one of the main actors of this project: the Cambodian Painter Vann Nath, who will be present to answer the questions and sign the books, for sale at the Bophana Center.
