Festival PhotoPhnomPenh

Art-lovers bound to the capital need not feel neglected – from November 26 to December 2, the fourth edition of the Festival PhotoPhnomPenh will be held at the Institut Francais.

The exhibition features eight Cambodian photographers and 16 from overseas. The festival includes five thematic exhibitions based around “current and historic aspects of Cambodian culture.”

Some exhibitions will be accompanied by music, with Louis Sclavis ready to pick up his clarinet, and images will also be screened on six boats floating down the Tonle Sap, showcasing the photos to people sitting on the riverfront.

For the first time, the exhibition will show the work of Cambodian children, some of whom hail from provincial villages and small neighbourhoods in Phnom Penh.
