Where Can I See the Film?

Surviving Bokator has premiered at many festivals, including the prestigious Austin Film Festival, the Philadelphia Asian American Festival, Hamilton Film Festival, the Refugees Film Festival in Berlin and most recently at the world’s largest competitive film festival, the Jaipur International Film Festival. And more to come…

We’re also partnering with local organizations and theatres to bring the film to YOUR community for theatrical and educational screenings including engaging discussions with community leaders, issue experts and the filmmakers. 

We are honored to be part of CATCH International, whose mission it is to bring high-quality films, discussion forums, and workshops offering various perspectives on the Cambodian experience, to a wide audience.

Community Screenings

We’re partnering with Khmer Diaspora communities, local organizations and independent theatres to bring the film to YOU.

Any format works, small or large, from independent screenings you “host” yourselves, to special events we organize for you, featuring live Bokator demonstrations, Khmer musical and dance performances, and engaging discussions with or without Filmmakers and protagonists.
