A series of short documentaries produced by young Cambodian film makers trained at Bophana Center which was founded by Mr.Rithy Panh (and also supported by Cambodian Film Committee) They are all on the Internet, so please check them out. There are 14 films so far, and they are working on more.
They are all good and tell us about the struggles of the people who can earn only about one dollar per day. Many of them are desperate and the people in the films complain how difficult their lives are, of course. My favorite one is still the first film that appeared on the web site. "Minister of Papaya" is about the life of a young papaya pickles seller who can earn little money, but there is hope in this film.
If you keep sighing all the time, good fortune escapes you. It is important to show how hard their life is and all sorts of problems in society, but films can also tell the world how Cambodians are full of energy, passion and ideas. I hope there will be more short documentaries with different points of view coming out.
リティ・パン監督が立ち上げたカンボジア・プノンペンにある映像アーカイブセンター、Bophana Centerで学ぶ若手映画製作者によって作られた短編映画集。（カンボジア映画委員会のサポートも受けている）全ての作品がインターネットで配信されているので、ぜひ観ていただきたい。現在のところ14作品が公開されていて、現在も政策が続けられている。
これらの作品は1日約１ドルくらいの収入で生きる人々の辛い生活の様子を知らせてくれる。言うまでもなく、絶望的な生活の中、作品の多くの登場人物たちはいかに自分たちの生活が苦しいかを訴える。私の一番好きな作品は、いまだに一番最初に配信された第1作目だ。「パパイア大臣」は若いパパイアの漬物売りの話で、彼もわずかの収入しか得られないが、この作品には希望を感じることができる。
All films are on "One Dollar" project official web site
