EVENT:
Oscar Nominee Director Rithy Panh along with the French-language narrator (Randall Douc), the producer (Catherine Dussart) and possibly the composer (Mark Marder) will be here LIVE and IN PERSON to do a special Q&A session after our 3:00pm Screening of Cambodia's FIRST (1st) Academy Awards Nominee for Best Foreign Language Feature.
SYNOPSIS:
THE MISSING PICTURE recounts Director Rithy Panh's firsthand experience of how his family and friends suffered at the hands of the Pol Pot's communist regime. It tells of how citizens were rounded up and taken to labor camps and how personal effects were destroyed. Since most of the existing recorded artifacts of that time are are propaganda footage, Panh utilizes beautifully-sculpted clay figurines and elaborately detailed dioramas to recreate the missing images from his memory. His recollections of his family and friends before and after the regime's rule are poignantly told through narrator's poetic voice as written by Panh. THE MISSING PICTURE is a unique documentary that manages to recreate a historical moment that would never be told if not for the sheer creative mind of Panh's innovative storytelling method.
DIRECTOR:
Rithy Panh is an internationally and critically acclaimed Cambodian documentary film director and screenwriter. The French-schooled director's films focus on the aftermath of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia
