FRI, 19/12, 8PM THE POST
One of Southeast Asia's legendary publications, the "Phnom Penh Post" was founded by editor Michael Hayes in 1992 as a bi-weekly newspaper. Tonite we screen a documentary from 1999: 9 years before the PHNOM PENH POST moved from our neighbourhood to the Phnom Penh Center and went daily - with a very young, very appealing Michael Hayes in the middle of the film. Don't miss - it's cult!
SAT, 20/12, 8PM NICE HAT!
David Brisbin is best known as a feature film production designer, having designed movies for such directors as Jane Campion and Gus Van Sant. Brisbin's first extensive encounter with Cambodians was as a reporter covering Cambodian refugees inside the Thai border in 1987 when Cambodia was still a closed country. NICE HAT is his first feature length doc film: A history of Cambodia seen entirely through hats and headgear. (with Rithy Panh, Ly Daravuth amm.)
SUN, 21/12, 8PM SET IN ASIA: "DRIVING WITH MY WIFE'S LOVER"
By Kim Tai-sik (In Korean with English subtitles, 92 min.)
A man living in the seaside town of Naksan discovers that his wife has taken a lover, who drives a taxi in Seoul. Tae-han sets out to confront him and seek vicious revenge. He has no difficulty convincing the gregarious and unknowing Joon-sik to drive him back to Naksan. During the journey, a comedy of errors ensues as director Kim shifts tones from ominous, to sad, to funny by creating a delightful off-centered atmosphere with anything-can-happen suspense. The two men are brought together in a tenuous but authentic camaraderie. Color-rich cinematography and an urbane banjo-driven music score.
