The Missing Picture explores filmmaker Rithy Panh’s quest to re-create images lost during the period of the Khmer Rouge’s ruthless reign over Cambodia between 1975 and 1979. Using intricately detailed clay figurines intercut with archival footage, Panh creates the missing pictures of what does not exist in photograph or film. This film was an Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
An introduction and post-screening discussion will be led by Olivier Morel, assistant professor of film, media studies and French literature, and a fellow of the Kroc Institute.
This film is part of the annual ScreenPeace Film Festival, presented by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. The festival features five critically acclaimed films that highlight a range of compelling issues related to peace and justice.
