Curated by Sam I-shan for PHOTO PHNOM PENH 2022
Java Creative Café

What is the relationship between film and photography? One seems to be about stillness and composition, and the other about movement and montage. Both deal with time, truth, archive, and materiality in different ways. Taking place during the opening week of Photo Phnom Penh 2022, this two-part programme highlights short films and videos selected by Sam I-shan, that explore different aspects of the photographic image and process. Featuring artists from France, Iran, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore, each of the screening sessions will be followed by a Q&A and audience discussion about the respective films and the artists' practice.
