Academy Award passes over Cambodian entry
Phnom Penh Post | 3 March 2014
Cambodia's Oscar hopes ended this morning as director Rithy Panh's The Missing Picture was edged out by Italy's The Great Beauty.
Panh's autobiographical film, which used clay figures and sets to
look at life under the Khmer Rouge regime, was one of five films
competing for the best foreign-language picture at the Academy Awards in
Los Angeles.
Some 50 people gathered to watch a live broadcast of the event at Phnom
Penh's Bophana Audiovisual Resource Centre, the film preservation
institute founded by Panh.
