Beware the cute goose

Best of luck to Linda who is ‘defending’ her PhD in Paris.

(Above: art stuff she does for fun when in Cambodia.) Hit ‘em hard! La meilleure défense est une bonne offense !

Voice

Jun 28th, 2007 by


Stop press! Greg Cahill will be screening ‘The Golden Voice‘ at the Nou Hach Literary Awards Conference this Saturday*. You’ll also get the chance to hear some new voices of contemporary poets, writers and singers.

In a short film clip, Jason Rosette of Cambofest awards the ‘Golden Water Buffalo’ to Greg [interview] and animator Puy Chhunly [interview] for their respective films. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwKfwWwuq7Q

Interested in more about classic songs? I stumbled onto this work in progress: interviews of the families of Sin Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea.

How Long Have You Been Here?

Jun 28th, 2007 by

Talk at Popil Thursday 28th 7pm

Hello,

As many of you know, I am leaving Cambodia in July and will be closing the
Popil PhotoGallery. Before I pack up completely, I would like to invite you
to join me for a Final Talk and Closing Party at the gallery on Thursday
June 28th at 7pm.

I will be featuring my photographic work and my relationship with Cambodia
over the last 17 years, including what brought me here in the first place
and what kept me coming back for more! I will also be presenting the work of
my photography students, my work with pinhole cameras, and sharing with you
how I came to create the Popil PhotoGallery. I hope you will be able to join
me and help me celebrate all these years!

I look forward to seeing you then,
Stéphane
Stephane Janin
Photographer and Director of the Popil PhotoGallery.
