After rejecting the memory of his early years in Cambodia and then in the refugee camps in Thailand, he abandoned his carpentry studies to devote himself to cinema. He graduated from IDHEC in 1988. Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge destroyed the major part of Cambodian cultural productions. During the 1990s, Rithy Panh and Pannakar Leu, former director of the Cambodian Centre cinema envisioned the creation of a center dedicated to the restoration of the Cambodian audiovisual heritage. The Bophana Center took shape during the early 2000s with the support of the National Audiovisual Institute (INA). It was inaugurated in Phnom Penh on December, 4th 2006. Since its launch, the Bophana Center has been fulfilling three goals: archiving, creation and training. It aims to contribute to the duty of remembrance associated with the Khmer Rouge dictatorship by collecting archives (audiovisual and written), organizing cultural events (screenings, exhibitions and conferences) and training the Cambodian youth to be film directors.〔http://www.documentary.org/feature/rithy-panh-film-preservation-and-importance-memory〕 "() role (Bophana Center ) is to give back remembrance to Cambodians. Losing remembrance an affront to history and contributes to a deficit of democracy." Rithy Panh The Bophana Center is named after a young Cambodian woman trapped in the S21 detention camp. During the dictatorship, Bophana would write secret love letters to her husband. That act of resistance resulted in her being tortured for several months. She was executed in 1977 when she was only 25. The movie ''Bophana: A Cambodian Tragedy'', directed by Rithy Panh in 1996, pictures the story of the young woman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bophana Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
