About the film: Rithy Panh is a pre-eminent Cambodian-French filmmaker and chronicler of Cambodia’s genocide. The Missing Picture shifts his focus to his own childhood recollections as his family’s sole survivor of Pol Pot’s reign of terror.

Panh uses hundreds of hand-carved and hand-painted clay figures, representing Panh’s parents and family, along with key perpetrators, to recreate the atrocities Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge committed between 1975 and 1979.

Winner of the Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes, The Missing Picture artfully exposes Panh’s filmic preoccupation with the representation and remembrance of all that’s been lost.
