Event Details

Phnom Penh’s legendary live act Electric Universe returns with a brand-new chapter: The Next Universe. For 15 years, the project (founded by Berlin producer Nick Meta alongside US musicians Tim Sirois and James Speck) has fused live synthesizers, strings, grooveboxes, and DJ culture into hypnotic, psychedelic jam sessions. From stages across Cambodia to virtual performances in Second Life, the band has built a cult following.

Now evolving once again, The Next Universe unites original members Tim Sirois (synthesizer) and Nick Meta (grooveboxes, FX) with French musicians Anthony Armenti (bass, percussion), Fabrice Marion (guitar), Cambodian DJ Sam TR8 (drum machines), poetic interventions by Antonio Pineda, and a final mix by DJ Tommy Schultz.

Expect electronic beats colliding with acoustic and electric instruments, layered with spoken word and immersive, trippy visuals.

Free entrance.

Event Details

We are pleased to invite you to the exhibition opening of CAMBODIAN SOJOURN by Hersh Gutwilik.

Originally unplanned, the artist’s extended stay in Cambodia emerged through circumstance. Over the course of more than a year, the country became a place of sustained observation and reflection.

Traveling primarily by bicycle, Gutwilik approaches photography as an intuitive, exploratory process. His work moves beyond documentation, seeking painterly qualities within everyday environments. Urban structures and natural landscapes are rendered through color, rhythm, and compositional balance.

Light and atmosphere transform familiar scenes into contemplative visual studies. Ancient forms and contemporary life intersect, revealing a landscape in transition. Informed by a background in painting and cinematic color grading, his images emphasize emotional tonality. The resulting works offer a nuanced visual translation of Cambodia’s evolving cultural and spatial identity.

Live Music by Habana Vieja

Event Details

Marcel Camus’ BIRD OF PARADISE (1962, 95 min) – a spiritual journey into culture, myth, Buddhism, death, and reincarnation – was the first European feature film production in Cambodia.

Sok, a young and imaginative boy, leaves the Buddhist monkhood to seek a more adventurous life. Tith, a friendly fortune-teller, gives him a bird of paradise, which leads him to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh.

The screen is constantly filled with moments of wonder and beauty whether it is the dragon boat races, Buddhist monks chanting, festivals, children playing, a kickboxing match, rickshaws on the quiet streets, a theatrical reenactment of the legend of Rama, Sita, Ravana, and Hanuman and finally a visit to the grandeur of Angkor Wat.

Event Details

Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever-turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. “Samsara” (2011, 102 min) reunites director Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson, whose award-winning films Baraka and Chronos were acclaimed for combining visual and musical artistry.

Filmed over a period of almost five years and in 25 countries, Samsara transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.

Free Entrance.
