Ferryman of Memories: The Films of Rithy Panh is an unconventional book about an unconventional filmmaker. Rithy Panh survived the Cambodian genocide and found refuge in France where he discovered film, the language that would allow him to tell what happened to the two million souls who died of hunger, overwork, disease, and neglect at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. He has made over 20 award-winning films and revolutionized the documentary form. His cinema is made with people, not about them, even those guilty of crimes against humanity. Whether he is directing Isabel Huppert in The Sea Wall, following laborers digging trenches or interrogating the infamous director of S-21 prison, aesthetics and ethics inform all he does. With unparalleled access to the director as well as a trove of archival materials, Ferryman of Memories introduces readers to what lies behind Panh’s incomparable films, including: The Rice People, The Land of Wandering Souls, S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, and The Missing Picture.
