The first SOS Women Film Fest features documentaries, dramas, and shorts by Cambodian female filmmakers.

“THE LAST REEL” (2014, 106 min) was the bright debut for Kulikar Sotho, the first Cambodian woman to direct a narrative feature since Ung Kanthouk (1970’s “10,000 Regrets”). A lost film buried beneath the Killing Fields reveals different versions of the truth. In an abandoned cinema, rebellious teenager Sophoun discovers an old film starring her mother, offering her the chance to dictate her own destiny at last, but at the cost of uncovering some dark secrets from the past about her parents’ lives during the Khmer Rouge regime. Q&A with Kulikar Sotho after screening.
