The Missing Picture Poster
Description:
An intimate, formally inventive documentary that reconstructs the Khmer Rouge era through hand-made clay figures and stark, archival imagery. Rithy Panh interweaves childhood memories with testimonies of survivors, using meticulously sculpted dioramas to replace erased bodies and places. The film blends fragility and gravity as it explores memory, guilt, and loss, challenging the viewer to witness a genocide from a personal, maker's perspective rather than through conventional footage.
