5PM: YOUTH NIGHT - Cambodia is a young country with over two thirds of its population under the age of thirty. And having grown up in the age of new technologies and globalization, Cambodia's youth has developed their very own vision for what they want their country to be. THE YOUTH NIGHT gives an opportunity to these engaged groups and individuals to raise their voice. Tonight’s hot topic is “Arranged Marriages in Cambodia”.

7PM: CAMBODIAN FEATURE FILM PREMIERE - A DAY IN THE COUNTRY (2015, 60 min) tells the story of two young Cambodians whose parents attempt to fix their ‘Arranged Marriage’. The movie spotlights a modern-day Cambodian dilemma – should young Khmers, looking to marry, bow to their parents’ wishes in the centuries-old tradition? Or should they resist and seek to make their own choices? Two talented young actors, Sambath Yim and Sophaniki Chan, brilliantly portray ‘Sovann’ and ‘Chantha’ on the day that they first meet - a few hours of togetherness on which their future happiness hangs. Through the portrayal of the couple’s inner feelings and conflicts, the movie poses many questions while allowing audiences to come to their own conclusions about this vital social issue. ‘A Day In The Country’ is produced by KMF (Khmer Mekong Films), a leading Phnom Penh production company. Writer-director Matthew Robinson will hold a Q&A session following the screening.
