International Film Heritage Festival in the presence of the King of Cambodia, HM Norodom Sihamoni - ©Bophana Center/Jessica Bordeau The Memory! International Film Heritage Festival that took place on 1-9 June in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, was the first festival in the region with a precise focus on film restoration. It was organised jointly by the Technicolor Foundation for Cinema Heritage based in France and the Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) through its programme film.culture360.org, was one of the supporters of the Festival which was opened on 1 June with the screening of “La Joie de vivre”, a 1969 movie by the late King of Cambodia, Norodom Sihanouk. The opening event was attended by his son, HM King Norodom Sihamoni. Today, over 90% of films around the world made before 1929 are lost forever.

Tamnan Krasue – Constructing a Khmer Ghost for a Thai Film Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia. German scholar, Benjamin Baumann, writes about Phi Krasue, one of the most well-known and most frightening uncanny beings of Thai folklore. Like most uncanny beings classified with the pre-fix Phi, Phi Krasue had no singular origin myth that reached beyond the local discourse, but that changed in 2002 with the release of the Film “Tamnan Krasue” which locates the origin of this uncanny being in 13th century Angkorian Khmer culture.

This article offers interpretations as to why this idiosyncratic origin myth appeared in the aftermath of the Asian Financial Crisis and how it may contribute to our understanding of contemporary Thai-Cambodian relations.
