Cambodian Short Film Nights
Discover the beauty, humour and absurdity of Cambodian story telling with this collection of short films. We will meet cantankerous grandparents, ambitious adults and be haunted by well intentioned ghosts.
There is a preoccupation here with social changes and how they affect our lives and those of our families. All told with bright humour and resourceful practicality.
