CAMBODIAN PREMIERE SCREENING AT META: "PHANTOM PAIN"
7PM: Inspired by the true story of passionate Canadian cyclist Steven Sumner who lost one leg in a traffic accident, the German feature film PHANTOM PAIN (2009, 97 mins, German with English subs) monitors one man's struggle to turn his life around. The fims shows German actor Til Schweiger at the top of his game - virile, passionate and nuanced in his portrayal of a man fighting back from disaster - and fresh off his notoriety from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds". First-time director Matthias Emcke has forcefully delivered a comrade's tribute to his personal friend Steven Sumner, who will present this Cambodian premiere screening and hold a Q&A.
