CAMBOFEST Fee Waivers Available -- read more

In consideration of the global aspects of our aims with CamboFest, we're now offering **fee waivers** to filmmakers who can locate an additional film submission from a filmmaker from a lesser developed nation (see the UNDP development index here: http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/)

SO: filmmakers from "highly developed nations" (US, UK, etc)

1) find a "buddy" filmmaker from one of the UNDP's list from Medium Development [Dominica through Gambia] on down to Low Development [Senegal through Sierra Leone] who wants to submit their movie to CamboFest

2) wrangle your entries and print out this announcement and include it with both submissions--

3) both movies will be waivered!*

IMPORTANT: Please understand that this wouldn't apply to foreign filmmakers who have emigrated to a developed host country and have made their movie there (ie, a filmmaker from Laos who has already moved to LA and has made her/his movie there with the support of the LA production environment wouldn't qualify)

The whole idea is to find and "reward" those filmmakers from lesser developed countries who have slugged it out in a (presumably) less robust media production sector in their home country, along with the "buddy" filmmakers from the more advanced nations who have gone to the trouble to locate and invite those films...

Hope this makes sense, if in doubt, email us at info@cambofest.com

Angkor Thom Magazione article from CamboFest 2007

Finally found a copy of Ankor Thom Magazine, feauturing coverage of CamboFest they'd done for last year's CamboFest--my friend Houy told me she'd "see a picture of me in a magazine" (along with a Golden Waterbuffalo) so I know this had to be it.

Herewith, please find scans of the article...

By the waqy, the WAB listing problem wasn't actually a problem at all; our liason had suspended the listing to provide us time to conduct the anticipatd dates change for CamboFest, since the last day of regular submissions was nigh-had she not locked the listing (de-listed it) we would have been compelled to continue with the original dates, since the new month would have begun already.

Anyway the short of it is, we were delistd for benign and legitimate reasons, basically to allow us a couple days to settle our new dates.

(((More later)))
