Kampung Film Festival

Kampung Film Festival is born of the need to remedy the lack of cinema and cultural activities on remote Cambodian islands and villages. It aims to introduce people who have not had opportunities to experience cinema to see them on a large screen, with the belief that it is important to have a space like a film festival to promote cinema culture for Cambodian people in a nonurban context. In the new internet era, it is true that locals could access movies and shows, however, the imbalance of only consuming foreign-based media indicates a disruption to Cambodian film industry development. This mission is to help balance the time locals spend watching foreign shows or movies with historical and contemporary Cambodian cinema.
