Pol Pot DancingDOK.fest München
This event is in the past.
There were only few dancers left able to pass on the precious tradition of classical dance after the dictatorship in Cambodia. The dictator Pol Pot had a complex relationship to the art form during his reign of terror. With impressive dance sequences, the film shines a light on national and family histories and stresses the importance of dance for cultural memory and as a powerful medium of renewal. Guest: director Enrique Sanchez Lansch
