In Tralop Bek, a tight-knit community threatened with forced eviction, 13 year-old Leng Heng is having vivid dreams of his past lives. He and his friends are convinced they are meant to find a buried Buddhist statue to save their homes, and they seek out help from a street-smart girl in the neighbourhood, Srey Leak. Together they follow clues across town and into the past. As Leng Heng\u2019s dreams converge on the present, his very sense of identity begins to unravel. When it becomes clear that the stakes are higher than they imagined, the two friends must decide how far they are willing to go to find their treasure and the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column thisbff-film-sb\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-left:30px;--awb-padding-top-small:30px;--awb-padding-left-small:0px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-border-left:1px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-font-size:80%;\"><h3>Sat 23 Sep | 6.50pm<\/h3>\n<\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-large button-default fusion-button-default button-2 fusion-button-span-yes fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_margin-bottom:15px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sistic.com.sg\/events\/bff0923b\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p><strong>Single Cinema Ticket: $15<\/strong><br \/>\n<small><em>Prices exclude SISTIC booking fees<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p><small>** This film will be screened together with <a href=\"https:\/\/thisfilmfest.com\/2023\/films\/reincarnation-mall\/\">REINCARNATION MALL<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:40px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-sizes-top:1px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:1px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:40px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h3>DIRECTOR\u2019S BIO<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:25px;--awb-max-width:120px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"KARMALINK -

It often seems like things are changing here much faster than in Silicon Valley, where I come from. Fertile, yet perennially overlooked, ground for a sci-fi story.<\/p>\n<p>How is this rapid development affecting the individual, culture, values? For example, how did family structure change when kids began signing up for Facebook, creating personal profiles? The very design of Facebook has a profoundly different effect in a community-oriented place like Cambodia, than it does in the individualist West, where the technology was developed.<\/p>\n<p>I found myself reflecting on these questions continually during my year teaching filmmaking to kids living in Tralop Bek, a neighbourhood built around the railroad tracks that bisect Phnom Penh. Tralop Bek is a special place, in this chaotic and teeming metropolis \u2014 it really has a small community, traditional feel. But Tralop Bek is under threat from displacement from all sides \u2014 the physical kind (see: the 4,000 families \u201crelocated\u201d from nearby Boueng Kak Lake, which was filled in with sand to make space for luxury developments), but also more much more subtle forms.<\/p>\n<p>I rather hate the word \u201cslum\u201d because it carries in the imagination a litany of heinous sufferings. For all intents and purposes, Tralop Bek is a \u201cslum\u201d \u2014 most people there don\u2019t make much money, even by Cambodian standards \u2014 but the typical stories about \u201cslums\u201d are woefully unrepresentative of this place. You know these stories, full of the tropes of \u201cpoverty porn\u201d, encouraging us to root for the protagonist to escape their plight (and by extension, their community) \u2014 the ultimate individualist, capitalist fantasy. I hope KARMALINK, as a celebration of Tralop Bek and its inhabitants, can be an antidote to that narrative, while questioning the trade-offs being made as we hurtle ever faster into a more homogenised, consumerist, and connected future.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as an avid meditator who studied neuroscience, I\u2019m perpetually fascinated by the strange machinations of well-meaning but myopic techno-utopists, so those elements figure into the story as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><h4>PRINT SOURCE<\/h4>\n<p>Jake Wachtel<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valeriesteinberg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valerie Steinberg Productions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container thisbff-dgrey-box nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-background-color:#434551;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><h4>YOU MIGHT ALSO BE INTERESTED IN<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div style=\"text-align:right;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-small button-custom fusion-button-default button-3 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_accent_color:#ffffff;--button_accent_hover_color:var(--awb-color6);--button_border_hover_color:hsla(var(--awb-color6-h),var(--awb-color6-s),calc(var(--awb-color6-l) -

In Tralop Bek, a tight-knit community threatened with forced eviction, 13 year-old Leng Heng is having vivid dreams of his past lives. He and his friends are convinced they are meant to find a buried Buddhist statue to save their homes, and they seek out help from a street-smart girl in the neighbourhood, Srey Leak. Together they follow clues across town and into the past. As Leng Heng\u2019s dreams converge on the present, his very sense of identity begins to unravel. When it becomes clear that the stakes are higher than they imagined, the two friends must decide how far they are willing to go to find their treasure and the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column thisbff-film-sb\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-left:30px;--awb-padding-top-small:30px;--awb-padding-left-small:0px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-border-left:1px;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:5.76%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:5.76%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:5.76%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-font-size:80%;\"><h3>Sat 23 Sep | 6.50pm<\/h3>\n<\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-large button-default fusion-button-default button-2 fusion-button-span-yes fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--button_margin-bottom:15px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sistic.com.sg\/events\/bff0923b\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p><strong>Single Cinema Ticket: $15<\/strong><br \/>\n<small><em>Prices exclude SISTIC booking fees<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p><small>** This film will be screened together with <a href=\"https:\/\/thisfilmfest.com\/2023\/films\/reincarnation-mall\/\">REINCARNATION MALL<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:40px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-sizes-top:1px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:1px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:40px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:40px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h3>DIRECTOR\u2019S BIO<\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:25px;--awb-max-width:120px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"KARMALINK -

It often seems like things are changing here much faster than in Silicon Valley, where I come from. Fertile, yet perennially overlooked, ground for a sci-fi story.<\/p>\n<p>How is this rapid development affecting the individual, culture, values? For example, how did family structure change when kids began signing up for Facebook, creating personal profiles? The very design of Facebook has a profoundly different effect in a community-oriented place like Cambodia, than it does in the individualist West, where the technology was developed.<\/p>\n<p>I found myself reflecting on these questions continually during my year teaching filmmaking to kids living in Tralop Bek, a neighbourhood built around the railroad tracks that bisect Phnom Penh. Tralop Bek is a special place, in this chaotic and teeming metropolis \u2014 it really has a small community, traditional feel. But Tralop Bek is under threat from displacement from all sides \u2014 the physical kind (see: the 4,000 families \u201crelocated\u201d from nearby Boueng Kak Lake, which was filled in with sand to make space for luxury developments), but also more much more subtle forms.<\/p>\n<p>I rather hate the word \u201cslum\u201d because it carries in the imagination a litany of heinous sufferings. For all intents and purposes, Tralop Bek is a \u201cslum\u201d \u2014 most people there don\u2019t make much money, even by Cambodian standards \u2014 but the typical stories about \u201cslums\u201d are woefully unrepresentative of this place. You know these stories, full of the tropes of \u201cpoverty porn\u201d, encouraging us to root for the protagonist to escape their plight (and by extension, their community) \u2014 the ultimate individualist, capitalist fantasy.
