Ratanakiri on the Big Screen in Phnom Penh
ICSO- Forest Mountain Voices films will be screened in Phnom Penh on the 23rd and 24th
of March at two separate public events.
1.Freedom Day Celebration
Premiere: Away from home
(Save the Children Australia/ ICSO- Forest Mountain Voicesfilm)
Hun Sen Park, Phnom Penh
Friday March 23rd 6pm-8pm
To commemorate Freedom Day, Save the Children Australia, World Vision and the British Embassy are
staging an outdoor multi-media event for the general public in Hun Sen Park, Phnom Penh. The Save the
Children and ICSO- Forest Mountain Voices co-production Away from home will be premiered and Forest
Mountain Voices film-makers Nong Sam Oeung, Om Hongkiry and actor Yourng Dalin, as well as others
from this Ratanakiri media project will be there to launch the film at this event.
Away from home, funded by Save the Children Australia and the Asian Development Bank, is a docudrama
of one woman's experience of trafficking and prostitution, and one young man's experience of
labour exploitation. Told from the perspective of a young Jarai girl, and a young Kreung man, the story is
conveyed through dramatizations and interviews. This is a film has been specifically produced for
indigenous communities in Ratanakiri and is available in Tampeun, Jarai and Kreung.
2.CineMekong Film Festival
Saturday March 24th 10am
French Cultural Centre
For the first time at Cambodia's premiere annual film event, indigenous films, written directed and
produced by indigenous people, will be screened as part of the program.
Screening at the festival
Community Forests
(5'30'' Dir. Yourng Dalin) Tong Krapoo Village is a Kreung indigenous community that has rallied
together to protect their forests. The village's elders explain in their own words their people's strategies
to preserve the precious natural resources essential for the future of their community.
Lady from La Po
(6'00 Dir. Yourng Dalin) A Tampeun woman talks about land, women and livelihoods in her village in
Yeak Loam Commune. Inn, is a renowned weaver in her community producing the traditional Tampeun
cloth that is sold to the tourists who visit the beautiful Yeak Loam Lake. Inn reflects on the many changes
that have occurred in her community, and the challenges faced by Tampeun people to maintain their
culture.
A woman's work in one day
(10' Dir Bech Mom) A Tampeun woman from Loan Village talks us through her everyday life. We see her
work on the land from dawn till dusk to provide basic food, water and shelter for her family. The story of
her daily struggles is an intimate insight into the lives of indigenous women in Ratanakiri.
A lady from Krowla village
(3'05 Dir Kennuth Youen) Deng Sovann, a Kreung woman from Krowla Village, discusses her culture,
livelihood, and her village's reliance on land and forests. Krowla village is a strong community that
values and protects the natural resources and the Kreung traditions which ensure the survival of their
lifestyle for future generations.
Rice field ceremony
(10'00'' Dir. Om Hong Kiry) Every year after harvesting the rice, Tampeun communities celebrate with a
ceremony. The rice field ceremony brings the community together, to make a sacrifice to the spirits of
the rice field for the harvest. Here captured on video for the first time, young indigenous filmmaker Om
Hong Kiry shows his own community preparing and celebrating a ceremony that reflects the uniqueness
of Tampeun culture. It is a document of a traditional belief system for future generations of Tampeun
people.
Forest Mountain Voices is a project developed in 2005 and 2006, as part of Community
Forestry International's indigenous peoples program in Ratanakiri. In January 2007, that
program localized to a new Cambodian NGO, Indigenous Community Support
Organisation (ICSO). ICSO is dedicated to supporting indigenous communities in
protection of their rights and managing their own development.
The Forest Mountain Voices project operates under the guidance of a community advisory
group. The Advisory Group consists of community people from most districts of
Ratanakiri. They guide the FMV indigenous media makers to produce media about
indigenous culture and issues. The current staff of the FMV unit are indigenous Tampuen,
Jarai, Kreung and Phnong.

Spean Rajana
Rajana Society (Artists Reaching Out)
Spean Rajana literally translates to "The bridge to artistic creation." It was conceived last year of 2005-2006 with intentions of promoting and bringing together Khmer artists to address the issues that are pertinent to the Khmer community. This event supports Khmer arts for empowerment. Art in its many forms seeps from our minds into the reality of our daily lives. Art is used to move, inspire and create. Khmer arts is as unique as Angkor Wat and it still holds dear to the many who understands what art is all about.
The beauty of Khmer culture is complex and yet not well understood. It has been diluted or made to become invisible by the dominant society (American Culture). We have been over shadowed in our existence in America due to the socio-political and economic platforms we came from.
Spean Rajana focuses on addressing issues in the Khmer community such as: Khmer genocide, bicultural identity, deportation and to showcase contemporary Khmer artists. Khmer culture has been demarcated and marginalized for a long period of time since we have been a part of the American Culture. When spoken of Asian cultures, one usually associated such cultures towards the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean and rarely includes Southeast Asian cultures. We as a Khmer student organization find that there is a lack of education about our Khmer heritage as it stands today in the US. Our hopes are to make visible and heard our voices so that we are taken into consideration. Our history of genocide and the political destruction caused on our motherland not only affects the people of the past generations, but their blood has also been bleeding from our skin, the people and community living in the US. Most Khmer younger generations that have acculturated to the American culture tend to forget or choose not to remember where their roots came from. Rarely, are there many Khmer kids or youth that take pride in our rich heritage. Most of the Khmer youth that have been accustomed to the American/Western culture soaks themselves in such privilege that they do not want to be a part of their roots. Spean Rajana, is a platform where Khmer students can celebrate our heritage and understand our struggle as a people. It is a cultural arts movement to unite and embrace the Khmer culture & arts. Khmer and Non-Khmer individuals are all welcomed to join us at our 2nd Annual Khmer Arts for Empowerment event @ the OMA Ethnic Cultural Center/Theatre on Sunday the 1st of April, 2007 @ 8pm.
Attached are the event flyer and press release. Please support us in making visible our identity as it rests today as well as provide us the platform for our voices to be heard.

La médecine angkorienne sous Jayavarman VII
Vendredi 16 mars 2007 / Friday, 16th of March, 2007
Vous êtes cordialement invités à la présentation informelle
You are cordially invited to attend the following informal presentation
La médecine angkorienne sous Jayavarman VII
CHHEM Kieth Rethy
Professeur de Radiologie, d'Anthropologie et d'Anatomie
Chaire de Radiologie et Médecine Nucléaire
Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry
University of Western Ontario, Canada
Le règne de Jayavarman VII fut marqué par un développement prodigieux du Bouddhisme Vajrayana. Le but de notre conférence est d'analyser l'impact de la religion sur les théories et pratiques médicales à Angkor. Nous discuterons également les réponses religieuse et médicale élabores par Jayavarman VII pour lutter contre les maladies et les épidémies qui sévissaient son royaume. Cette lutte pour protéger et préserver la santé de la population d'Angkor se traduit par la construction d'un réseau d'hôpitaux dissémines dans tout le royaume, accompagné de l'établissement des plusieurs universités monastiques, dont Ta Prohm et Prah Khan, qui détiennent le quasi monopole de la formation des médecins angkoriens. Le rôle « médical » respectif du Bhaisajyaguru, de la Prajnaparamita et dans une moindre mesure celui d'Avalokitesvara sera également analyse. Enfin le développement phénoménal de la technologie médicale et de la bioarchéologie offre dorénavant un outil de recherche permettant d'analyser les restes osseux humains, dont les résultats pourraient venir compléter l'historiographie médicale déjà très diversifiée. Pourrions nous alors percer les secrets des maladies qui ont affecté l'histoire sociale d'Angkor, comme la lèpre, le cholera ou la malaria ?
(We are sorry for short notice)
La présentation se tiendra à 18 h 30, Vendredi 16 mars 2007, au centre de l'EFEO.
The presentation will take place on Friday, 16th of March, 2007, at 6:30 pm at the EFEO.

Sera: Two Faces
EXHIBITION / RENDEZVOUS
TWO FACES: By SERA
Centre Culturel Français, Phnom Penh
[translated from March/April Programme]
• Wednesday, April 4: Meeting with the author at 18:00
• Opening of Exhibition at 19:00 and author’s dedication at 19:30
• Duration of Exhibition: From April 5 to May 4, 2007
As a comic artist, aficionado of comics, painter, artist and teacher of comics, and a person who is involved with information technology,
“Séra has long been working in diverse areas. In fact, this combination of these is the true nature of Séra’s work. One of Séra’s comics which is ascribed to the artistic experience of his, turns visual narration into information technology in order to learn about multicultural experience. In a dozen books, he already explored numerous narrative and figurative subjects. There is a feeling there are more surprises to come. It is rare that a strip cartoonist becomes a reference. Such is already the case of Sera.“
- Phillipe Morin PLG
Born in Cambodia in 1960, Séra has never ceased producing art with reference to the history of his country. Two years after the publication of Water and Earth by Editions Delcourt, Séra is working on his third graphic novel relating to the Khmer Rouge regime to presented by the same publisher: Following Days of Ashes dates back to the events in 1979 during which the Vietnamese troops moved in and invaded the country, and the end of the Pol Pot era.
As such, not only this dual-purpose exhibition will provide an opportunity to unveil some aspects addressed in the above work, and also other work of Sera in large format.
To present this new work of his in Cambodia, Séra is preparing for three public events in Phnom Penh. An additional event of interest for those who are amateur graphic artists or amateur comic artists is the premiere of the graphic novel Water and Earth (licensed from Editions Delcourt) published in Khmer language by Editions du Mékong.

Wednesday 14th of March, 6 PM Opening of the INTERCITY Solo Exhibition by Thai Painter Songchai Buachum (Bangkok)" REALM OF KNOWLEDGE"
Songchai Buachum's work indicates his concept of "life in a city".
Some of his works express his critical ideas describing that life in a modern city is not the bliss. On the other hand, some of his works provide an encouragement for viewers: in the midst of troubled and dull environments, small living things grow beautifully. Songchai's work is not about taking some realistic scenes in our society to be exposed on a canvas, but his ideal images. He is skillful enough to convey these images with reference to various artistic methods. The methods range from drawing on paper to the use of different materials in his works. With these methods, his artworks are striking and charming to look at.

Founded in 1871, the San Francisco Art Institute has been a leading institution for the advancement of the arts. Join us for two evenings of short, experimental films and videos curated by Cambodian American filmmaker and dancer Prumsodun Ok.
This show, presenting the school's (and maybe America's) most exciting young artists, will surely offer a definition of
cinema -- what it can be and mean in contemporary society. For more information about Prumsodun Ok please visit:

COFFEE, PAST AND PRESENT: By TOR VUTHA
Opening March 7 at 18:30
Like the past, every person in this contemporary world is working so hard to earn their living. It is such a marvelous thing to take a short break with a cup of coffee, I think.
While casting my eyes at the coffee, my mind is filled up with variety of graphical pictures; that's the real images of the past along with the inscriptions (stories, and Buddha's motto) and the strong beliefs held in the religious myths of the past.
My description will be about the movements in each icon along with the yantra paper spelled with Pali for protections, and golden sheets to bring happiness and prosperity.
In reality, Buddha's motto serves as food to support and control of our daily life, more especially, the burned color and torn paper portrays a series of ongoing past events. I finally came up with a decision to invite Buddhist monks to bless and cast a spell into all the icons to make each of them full of spirits and might.
Time keeps passing but the taste and color of coffee always sticks to my mind. Thus, I hope you all will be enjoying the view of these images.
Duration of Exhibition: March 8 - 31

| | | | | | "Café, passé et présent " par Tor Vutha | | | | | | Vernissage : mercredi 7 mars - 18h30 - hall d'exposition du CCF
exposition : du 8 au 31 mars | | | | | | "Le passé est passé et le présent est arrivé au moment où tout le monde s'adonnait au travail, sans relâche, pour gagner sa vie. Pendant une pause où je prenais une tasse de café, j'ai pensé que le moment m'était propice. J'ai regardé mon café tout en pensant aux différentes images, sans me lasser... La réalité d'antan apparaissait : les lettres (histoires, proverbes bouddhiques) ont émergé pêle-mêle en s'associant à l'influence des croyances religieuses d'époque, dotées de pouvoirs magiques. Sur chaque image, j'ai voulu montrer le mouvement du café avec la feuille magique et les formules ésotériques de protection, la fine lamelle d'or -lesquelles avaient toutes apporté la tranquillité et la gloire- les proverbes bouddhiques qui furent des nourritures pour la vie quotidienne et, plus particulièrement, les graves brûlures exprimées par ces couleurs et le déchiquetage des papiers, qui dénotaient que le temps passe sans arrêt. En dernier lieu, j'ai rêvé d'un bonze, dans une cérémonie, donnant ses bénédictions à tous les dessins, dans le but d'imprimer sur chacun d'entre eux, une âme et une puissance déterminante. Le temps est passé ... la saveur et la couleur du café se trouvent toujours dans ma tête. J'espère que vous prendrez plaisir à regarder mes dessins."

KHMER ROUGE TRIBUNAL PUBLIC FORUM
A PEACE AND RECONCILIATION PROJECT
Portland, Oregon, March 1, 2007-On April 27-28, the Cambodian-American
Community of Oregon (CACO) will hold a public forum to raise awareness
about the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. The two-day forum will take place at Immigrant
and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) on Friday, April 27, and Portland
State University's Smith Ballroom on Saturday, April 28. The event will
include panel discussions by Khmer Rouge genocide survivors and scholars of
Cambodian history and culture, as well as presentations and performances by
authors, musicians, and community activists.
The Cambodian government and political system was destabilized during the
early 1970s as a result of U.S. bombing during the Vietnam War and other
complex factors. In 1975, Pol Pot came to power, establishing a reign of
terror that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.7 million people, or a
quarter of the population. Despite widespread acknowledgment that the
leaders of the Khmer Rouge committed crimes against humanity, there has yet
to be an international war crimes tribunal to hold them accountable. The
United Nations and the Cambodian government are scheduled to prosecute
surviving senior Khmer Rouge leaders sometime in 2007. No one knows what
effect this may have on the Cambodian population, though community leaders
hope it will bring a sense of closure and healing to the survivors of the
Khmer Rouge regime, many of whom have suppressed their memories of
starvation, fear, torture, and death for over 25 years.
An estimated 250,000 refugees from Cambodia currently reside in the U.S.,
with approximately 10,000 living in Oregon and SW Washington. CACO
believes it can help community members cope with individual and collective trauma by
openly confronting the past and exploring the effects of the Khmer Rouge
genocide, including post-traumatic stress disorder. CACO plans to utilize
this open public forum to inform and educate the general public about the
long-term effects of genocide. Featured speakers will include Sichan Siv,
former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.; Loung Ung, author of the critically
acclaimed First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers;
Daran Kravanh, internationally renowned musician; Beth Van Schaack, legal
advisor to Documentation Centre of Cambodia; Rath Ben, program manager at
OHSU's Intercultural Psychiatric Program; Alex Hinton, Rutgers University
professor and author of Why Did They Kill? Cambodia in the Shadow of
Genocide; and Leakhena Nou, a sociology professor at California State
University, Long Beach. Local civil rights attorney and author Ronault
(Polo) L.S. Catalani will moderate the event. And Commissioner Sam Adams
will participate in welcoming the forum to Portland.
Opening events for the Khmer Rouge Tribunal Forum will take place
6:00-9:00pm Friday, April 27, 2007, at Immigrant and Refugee Community
Organization (IRCO), 10301 NE Glisan Street, Portland, OR 97220. On
Saturday, April 28, 2007, there will be panels of speakers from 10:00am to
6:00pm at the Smith Memorial Student Union Ballroom (SMSU 355), Portland
State University, 1825 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97297. All programs are
free and open to the public. This event is sponsored in part by a grant
from the McKenzie River Gathering (MRG) Foundation. CACO seeks additional
sponsors, community partners, and volunteers. For more information, or to
get involved, contact Kilong Ung at (503) 267-4631 or
