Khmer cinema

Khmer cinema refers to films produced in Cambodia, reflecting the country's culture, history, and social issues. It has a rich history that includes a golden era in the 1960s, known for talented filmmakers and popular musicals. The industry faced devastation during the Khmer Rouge regime, which led to a tragic loss of artists and film archives. Since the 1990s, Khmer cinema has been rebuilding, with contemporary filmmakers exploring themes like identity, recovery, and tradition. Today, it continues to grow, combining traditional storytelling with modern techniques, offering insight into Cambodia’s evolving society and cultural landscape.
