Tenement
Directed by Inrasothythep Neth, Sokyou Chea
Produced by Kongchak Pictures
A haunting folk-horror meditation on inherited trauma and historical violence, where a woman becomes a vessel for the unquiet ghosts of Cambodia's past.
Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.
