The 11th Cambodia International Film Festival (CIFF) kicked off yesterday at Chaktomuk Conference Hall in Phnom Penh after a gap of two years. As many as 144 movies from 26 countries will be screened at the six-day long festival that will end on July 3. Phoeurng Sackona, Minister of Culture and Fine Arts, said in the event that the ministry considers the film industry as an essential part of its strategy of cultural and economic development.

 

She added that ‘after the pandemic years, the Royal Government of Cambodia wishes to welcome filmmakers to CIFF, an event which promotes Cambodian film as well as the country as an attractive film destination for filmmakers from across the world.’ Dy Saveth, 78-year-old Cambodian actress and the first Miss Cambodia , often referred to as the “actress of tears”, was the major attraction at the gala opening of the festival.

 

While expressing her joy with Khmer Times, one of the most beloved actresses from the 1960s, Dy Saveth said yesterday that she was so happy to see the crowd and it shows the growth of film industry in the country.
