Golden Age of Khmer Cinema in 1960s Era Documented

Chou Davy, 27, hopes later this year to release his documentary about Cambodian cinema in the 1960s and 1970s, creating a record of a culture the Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot helped to destroy. Chou Davy lives in Paris and is the grandson of Vann Chan, a well-known filmmaker in Phnom Penh in the 1960s. 'Golden Slumber' will be shown in Cambodia, France, the U.S. and other countries, Chou Davy said during a recent interview in Washington.

Cambodian Cinema from 1960s Highlighted at Smithsonian's Freer Gallery

A grandson of the late Cambodian film maker, Vann Chan, screened on Sunday a trailer for a documentary about Cambodian cinema in the 1960s and 70s at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institute, in Washington DC.
Davy Chou, maker of the new film "Golden Slumbers,'' showed film clips and told the audience about the history of Cambodia's golden age of cinema and of the success of his grandfather's work at Vann Chan Film Production. He spoke about an array of Cambodian screen stars and filmmakers. Davy Chou, whose parents are Cambodian and who grew up in France, hopes to complete the documentary before the end of the year.
Chou says he was shocked when he realized how his grandfather's legacy is being forgotten. Nearly all of the film stars from that era were killed by the Khmer Rouge. Many cinemas become karaoke parlors, hotels or were taken over by squatters. And a lady occupying his grandparent's home said to him and his mother "Oh I saw those films but we threw them away!"
