The Burnt Theatre
Directed by Rithy Panh, 83min, 2005, Khmer version with English subtitles 2005 Cannes Film Festival as an official selection in the out-of-competition main programme.
Cambodia is a land of broken dreams. There are no more cinema, no more theatre, no more auditorium. The tradition al and popular arts are disappearing faced with the competition of television. But there are always the artistes. Neither wars nor the massacres or the savagery of the “ultra-liberal” economy can not change their faith.
