Event Details

After living in Philadelphia, United States, for decades (where she helped raise her grandchildren and sent money back home) Mama Icha returns to her native town of Mompox, Bolívar, Colombia, hoping to spend her final days in the dream house she built.

Óscar Molina is a Colombian documentary filmmaker, producer, and cinematographer. He is most recognized for his sensitive, observational approach to exploring the complex intersection between migration, personal economics, and the concept of “home”.

“La casa de Mama Icha” (2021, 85 mins) serves as his debut feature documentary. Molina shot over 180 hours of footage across 2.5 years using an observational, natural-light cinematography style to intimately document 93-year-old Mama Icha’s reverse-migration journey back to Colombia.

After the screening, Oscar Molina – who is currently based in Keo – will hold a talk. Free Entrance.

Event Details

When the young Ian Woodford arrived in Phnom Penh in the early nineties, it was a forbidding and wild city but it was one that he loved and eventually made his home. At the time, Snow, as he was known on account of his snowy mountain roots, was recovering UN vehicles from Khmer Rouge controlled territories. This perilous work was soon replaced by teaching assignments and finally the setting up of Phnom Penh’s legendary bar “Maxene’s”, that rapidly became an institution.

Tim Corrigan’s “SNOW” (2014, 40 min) shows him as the spirited raconteur that he was, who reveled in the mayhem of modern Cambodia but always with a profound respect for its people. It is colourful account of expatriate life but one tempered by the political violence and instability that he witnessed.

Event Details

For proof of the universality of rock ’n’ roll, look no further than Cambodia in the 1960s and ’70s. Even there, young people picked up electric guitars and studied Mick Jagger’s moves, melding Eastern melodies with Western grooves in ways that are still strikingly fresh.

Yet in one of the 20th century’s most extreme examples of the effects of politics on popular culture, Cambodia’s pop scene — along with virtually every other manifestation of modern society there — was brutally stamped out with the 1975 arrival of the Khmer Rouge, whose nearly four-year reign led to the deaths of 1.7 million people.

Since then, pre-Khmer Rouge pop has survived in fragments, but the history behind it has remained frustratingly incomplete. Now, after a decade of research by an American filmmaker, John Pirozzi, that history has been told thoroughly in “Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll” (2014, 105 min).

Event Details

The past collides with the precarious present as filmmaker Steve McQueen examines the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam, connecting the city’s ordeal with its modern journey through protests and a global pandemic.

Adapting Bianca Stigter’s monumental book of biographies and testimonies, “Occupied City” (2023, 226 min) redefines how stories of the Second World War are told onscreen. An engrossing rumination on how ghosts of the past linger in a modern city, this poetic documentary is both shattering and inspiring.

IRIS: An Exhibition by Kimberley Gottfried Cleland

Opening: November 27, 2026 | 6:00 PM
Meta House, Phnom Penh

Step into IRIS — a vibrant exploration of the human mind through colour, light, line and abstraction.

Named after Iris, the ancient personification of the rainbow, the exhibition celebrates the brilliant spectrum of human thought and the fluid pathways connecting our inner worlds with the world around us.

Presented by contemporary American artist Kimberley Gottfried Cleland, also known as Baroness Kimberley Cleland, IRIS brings together two complementary strands of her artistic practice: luminous, large-scale abstract acrylic paintings and intricate neurographic works inspired by the interconnected pathways of the mind.

At the heart of the exhibition is Synaptic Embrace, a striking large-scale work that opens a window into the artist’s psychological landscape. Interwoven pathways, cosmic geometry, vivid colours and bold lines evoke the complex, beautiful energy of the world as she experiences it. Alongside these detailed compositions, richly layered abstractions offer moments of visual calm through the interplay of texture, colour and light.

With a creative career spanning 35 years, Cleland has exhibited internationally, from Singapore and Paris to Barcelona, Rome and Madrid. Having lived in Southeast Asia on and off since 2006, she established her permanent studio in Phnom Penh in 2022, where the cultural rhythms of Cambodia continue to inspire her work.

As the artist describes her process, her paintings are her “brain, completely dumped onto the canvas” — a visual dialogue between intuition and structure, experience and imagination.

Join us for the opening of IRIS and discover a colourful journey through the pathways of one artist’s mind.
