Des empreintes digitales pour débarrasser le Cambodge de la corruption
Dans son dernier rapport, l’organisation Transparency International classe le Cambodge à la 151e place dans son échelle des pays les moins corrompus aux plus corrompus, ce qui range le royaume parmi les derniers de la classe, sur 163 pays listés. Le projet de loi anticorruption, qui fait parler de lui depuis 1994, n’a toujours pas été examiné par les députés cambodgiens, bloqué au Conseil des ministres. La Ligue de la société civile cambodgienne de lutte contre la corruption, un collectif d’une cinquantaine d’ONG locales, a lancé dans le pays une pétition pour pousser à l’adoption au plus vite de ce texte, également réclamé par la communauté internationale.

In Development: ‘Freedom Deal’
Friday, April 25th, 2008FREEDOM DEAL is a new dramatic feature film by award winning
writer-director J Rosette of Camerado (BOOKWARS 2000, SUSAN HERO
2007), in association with High Def Productions of Phnom Penh,
Cambodia, managed by local Cambodian producer Chea Teang.
FREEDOM DEAL revolves around the Cambodian wartime experiences of two
refugees during the US/Vietnam conflict, which spilled over into
neighboring Cambodia following escalation of that war.

Quick Facts & Attachments
• J Rosette, attached to direct FREEDOM DEAL, is the director and
co-producer of two successful features already (BOOKWARS 2000; SUSAN
HERO 2007) and is a graduate of New York University [Film & TV 91'].
Mr. Rosette has been living and working in Cambodia since 2005,
speaks Khmer, and has been researching the project extensively via
both archival material and field trips to the provinces and
Cambodian-Vietnam border areas– including a trip to the infamous
COSVN (NVA’s “Jungle Pentagon”) location in Northeastern
Cambodia.
• The original script is being co-written and developed along with
local Cambodian production colleagues, including High Def
Production’s Chea Teang, attached as co-producer, and other staff in
Phnom Penh.
• Bob Lewis, founding member of seminal alternative rock band
DEVO—which formed at Kent State University following the student
protests against the US military incursion into Cambodia—is attached
as a music and story consultant.
• Relationships with key production service companies in
neighboring Thailand have been established in anticipation of
potential heavy production service requirements.
• Film production in Cambodia is still fairly new, and few of the
locations or stories intended for FREEDOM DEAL have yet been explored
on film, guaranteeing a unique movie experience.
=================================================================================
FREEDOM DEAL: the story of two simple people–an Uncle and a young
girl from the countryside of Cambodia–haplessly caught in the larger,
swirling conflict of the neighboring Vietnam War.
While the USA tears itself apart, two refugees ply their way on foot
through the torn landscapes of Cambodia, towards the distant capital
of Phnom Penh, where lies their hope for freedom.
Along the way, they encounter others who are passing through this
strange and secret war: a US soldier who’s drifted from his mission;
enemy armies battling each other on foreign soil; the country witch
with her secret charms; an old prophetic one-legged soldier; and the
bizarre and psychedelic ghosts of the night, the “Arbs”–intent on
quenching their bloodlust as they prey on the victims of modern war.

FLEA MARKET @ FRIENDS
Thursday, April 24th, 2008[courtesy Tim Rann]
FLEA MARKET @ FRIENDS – INFORMATION
Mith Samlanh (Friends in Khmer), a leading organization working with Street Children in Cambodia, will be starting a Flea Market within its compound on St 13 (behind the restaurant) to be held every second Saturday (with the exception of major Khmer holidays), starting on 29th March 2008.
The purpose of the Flea Market is to generate funds to go toward the purchase of the site and all its facilities. Mith Samlanh has a debt of USD$2.2million to repay to secure this site and keep its vital work close to the children who most need it.
The Flea Market is an activity that is intended to become a well known, regular event in Phnom Penh, and should capitalize on the growing tourism to Cambodia generally as well as providing a ‘family friendly’ activity for the resident population of Phnom Penh. Numerous children’s activities are planned for the event and should attract and entertain a range of ages, from toddlers to teenagers as well as catering to more adult interests.
The ‘feel’ of the Market is intended to be one of a venue for a ‘bargain’ and prices are aimed to keep it economically accessible to everyone. The starting price for all stalls for the first month is USD$20 per stall, per day, these proceeds will go directly toward Mith Samlanh. The event will be advertised widely and expect considerable community support for this continued event.
Mith Samlanh is inviting selected producers, artists and NGO’s who may have no usual retail venue to sell or market their products to participate in this event and purchase a stall to sell their products to make this an exciting event for the whole community. We will also be strongly encouraging Phnom Penh’s population of expats to use this as a venue to sell their household goods prior to departure rather than having garage sales.
There will be 25 stalls available. All stalls measure 80cm x 180cm and stand at 75cm height. Friends is working to provide awnings and power outlets to stallholders for the event and would be grateful for vendor feedback to improving this event. Promotional material relevant to the product or organization may be displayed/hung.
Mith Samlanh will be offering a 1 month USD$20 fee (per day) for stalls and will reclassify prices on long-term leases after this time. We will be advising of these new rates in 1 month. Friends reserves the right to accept/refuse vendors.
If you are interested in securing a stall please indicate on the attached application form you are requiring either power or shade. All stalls are to be paid by cash in advance to the Accountant at Mith Samlanh, Miss Phy, at #215, St.13, Ph: 023 426 748 or mb: 011 855 727.
If you have any further queries, please contact Penny Tynan, Fundraiser, Land Campaign, by email or phone at the following:

Eastern Germany in 1990, to protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma; a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared. (In English, 2003, 121 min)
THU, 24/04: GERMAN CINEMA: MUXMAEUSCHENSTILL
Dieser pseudo-dokumentarischer Film von Marcus Mittermeier, der sich mit dem Widerspruch zwischen gut gemeinten moralischen Ansprüchen und deren exzessiver Durchsetzung durch Selbstjustiz befasst. Eine intelligente rabenschwarze Komödie, die das moralische Empfinden brüskiert und kontroverse Diskussionen herausfordert. (In German/ in Deutsch, 2004, 89min)
FRI, 25/04: PHNOM PENH DOCFEST: FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HANOI
This is the first American film shot in Vietnam by Vietnamese-American filmmaker Tiana.

SAT, 26/04: FOCUS CAMBODIA: CAMBODIA, KAMPUCHEA
James Gerrand documentary draws on unique propaganda film and archival material from the Khmer Rouge, Vietnam and other sources. This is set against the grim realities of the Kampuchean tragedy. As a continuing theme, the film features exclusive interviews with Prince Sihanouk, who offers explanations for and insights into the role he has played (and still plays) in the fate of his luckless country. (In English, 1986, 78 min)
SUN, 27/04 SET IN ASIA: AT FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON
One of the first post-Taliban films made in Afghanistan, this film by an Iranian director won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2004. The film follows Noqreh as she struggles to redefine her role as a woman despite the protestations of her cranky, conservative father. As Noqreh’s father drags her and her sister across the bombed out dustbowl of Kabul in search of her missing brother, it becomes clear that international intervention has done little to solve the country’s problems. By Samira Makhmalbaf (2003)
