The Missing Picture

Rithy Panh Cambodia, Frankrijk 2013 90 min.

In the album of history one page has been erased: that of the murderous regime of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, estimated to be fatal for between one and three million Cambodians. In The Missing Picture, which was nominated for an Oscar, Cambodian director Rithy Panh searches for a worthy photographic testimony of this censored genocide. Because he always encounters the same propaganda films , he reconstructs his deprived childhood himself using modeled miniatures . But how do you make the invisible visible again ?
