Nearly 400 films were made in Cambodia between 1960 and 1975, only 30 of which survive today. The Khmer Rouge burnt them or allowed them to decay along with many of the country’s studios and cinemas. Most of those involved in the film industry became victims of the genocide. Director Davy Chou, the grandson of one of the most important film producers of the ‘Golden Age’ of Cambodian cinema, uses his first documentary feature film, "Golden Slumbers" (2011, 100 min) to reconstruct the country’s cinematographic legacy.
