The Missing Picture (2013) Dir: Rithy Panh ; 'Oscar nominated for Best Foreign Language film, Rithy Panh's latest adapts his memoir The Elimination, which tells of his childhood when he and his family were expelled from Phnom Penh and deported to camps in the country by the Khmer Rouge who took over Cambodia in 1975. Millions died from starvation, over-work or pure brutality. Rithy Panh was the only member of his family to survive. With a brilliant visual coup, Panh recreates and re-imagines life under the Khmer Rouge using tiny, hand-painted figurines. This allows him to visualize, in a profoundly affecting way, these otherwise unfathomable traumas.'
