Ly Bun Yim

Ly Bun Yim was one of the great directors of Cambodian cinema before 1975, a period in which he produced more than twenty films. His 1968 film based on the legend of the twelve sisters, one of the first shot in Cambodia in 35 mm, made him famous for its bold special effects: a winged horse, an earthquake, bloody scenes. He married the actress Virak Dara, who acted only under his direction. Trapped under the Khmer Rouge, the couple reached France in 1977 and divorced in 1986. Only three of his films have survived in a viewable state.
