Lancang-Mekong International Film Week

Film Festivals | Dec 17 - Dec 24, 2024

Cambodia > > Phnom Penh

The 6th annual Lancang-Mekong International Film Week kicked off on December 17, 2024 in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Cambodian Minister of Culture and Fine Arts, Phoeung Sakona, emphasized that this event serves as a platform to promote cultural dialogue and close cooperation among the countries in the Lancang-Mekong subregion.

During the film week, 20 movies from Lancang-Mekong countries are screened, with genres ranging from comedy, action, romance and science fiction. Among them is Rooftop Soccer, which won the Best Children’s Film award at the 37th Golden Rooster Awards in China. The film presents ancient villages and ethnic customs in Yunnan.

The only animated feature of the event, I Am What I Am, introduces viewers to the traditional Chinese lion dance culture and the customs of Lingnan. The Cambodian film When Mom Gets Old focuses on the lives of elderly women and intergenerational conflicts.

Thailand’s Grandma’s Grandchild portrays the emotional dynamics within a traditional three-generation Thai-Chinese family. The film broke multiple Asian box office records upon its release.

Additionally, various activities including cultural tours, discussions and project promotions further enrich the cultural significance of the film week.
