CAMBOFEST: Film and Video Festival of Cambodia (www.cambofest.com) wraps its 3rd season, with stills and video now viewable (and being continually updated) on our official blog @ http://cambofest.blogspot.com

This year's Cambofest was held in the Coastal town of Kampot, Cambodia, in a vintage, pre-Khmer Rouge era cinema house, the 'Royal', which CamboFest successfully ressurrected against all odds for this year's event.

The 'Royal' had been built in the 1950s, and was a popular local movie house until the Khmer Rouge regime took power in 1975. The venue came back to life in 1985, showing mainly Cambodian, Chinese, and Indian films, but was shuttered again in  1988 due to lack of political stability and dwindling audience numbers.

The 'Royal' lay dormant since 1988...

...until this year's CAMBOFEST!
