Lost In The Water 2026

Directed by Allison Chhorn

Fragments of recreated archival footage depicts daily life along the Mekong River in the countryside of Cambodia. Cooking, planting rice, children at school and crossing the river is captured on Super 8, yet the fictional time period is unknown. An imagined flash flood submerges everything. “Where is the old house? Do you go through here?” A voice repeats over and over again. All is not lost as water drops ripple open portals of memories that reemerge from the depths of the river.
