| "The world is so packed with images, and we think we have seen them all and thought about them all. For many years, I have been looking for the missing image: a photograph taken between 1975 and 1979 by the Khmer Rouge when they ruled Cambodia. On its own, of course, an image cannot prove mass murder, but it can make us think, make us reflect on things, it allows us to write our history. I searched for it in vain in the archives, in old papers, in the countryside of my country. Today I know: this image must be missing, but if I didn't search for it, would it not be obscene and meaningless? So I created it. What I show you today is neither an image nor the search for a single image, but the image of a quest: a quest that cinema allows to exist. Some images must always remain missing; they will always be replaced by others: in this process, we can see life, struggles, pain, and beauty; the sadness of lost faces, an understanding of what was. Sometimes there is dignity and sometimes courage—but they are never forgotten." 2013 | 95 mins | Documentary | |
