There are films that don’t just tell a story, but are, by their very existence, a story. Launching a crowdfunding campaign starting March 14, 2026, Kaun Trei (Skinny Fish) is not only Cambodia’s first original animated feature film: it is the miraculous fruit of a resilience project begun forty years ago, in the hell of Khmer Rouge refugee camps.

From November 27 to 30, 2025, Phnom Penh will host an unprecedented cultural event with the first edition of the mini-festival Regards d’Asie du Sud-Est. Organized at the French Institute of Cambodia, Phnom Penh Factory, and Fable Cinema, this festival will highlight the richness, diversity, and creativity of the cinematographies from Cambodia, the Philippines, Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
