KAMPUNG FILM FESTIVAL
KAMPUNG FILM FESTIVAL
មហោស្រពភាពយន្តកំពង់
Kampung Film Festival is born of the need to remedy the lack of cinema and cultural activities on remote Cambodian islands and villages.
THE PROGRAM
Kampung [kæmpəŋ] means ‘port’ or ‘boat harbor’ in Khmer language, evidenced by the names of four of our provinces adjacent to the Mekong. The term reflects a deep-rooted sense of origins, arrival and community. Kampung, and its variations, is a term also used by Singaporeans, Malaysians and Indonesians to classify and name villages, towns, and neighborhoods. The English word “compound” is derived from this word.
