CULTURE AND ARTS IN CAMBODIA
Cambodian culture is based in India and Buddhism and has incorporated elements from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China and Java. One of the main centers for the arts in Cambodia, particularly dance, is the Royal University of Fine Arts. There was a rebirth of the arts in the 1950s and 60s during a period of Cambodian nationalism.
The Royal University of Fine Arts of Cambodia was established in 1964. The idea was that the ethnic traditions should first be studied in their authentic surroundings by academically trained researchers and students and then reshaped to suit modern stages and audiences. The underlying motivation was to strengthen the national identity and teach people to appreciate the cultural expressions of ethnic minorities.
The censors in Cambodia are known for being very strict. Matt Dillon, who made a film in Cambodia, told Time, “I was afraid of censorship, but they seemed more concerned that the movie was truthful even if it didn’t say the most flattering things about the country.” In recent years, pop singers and actresses have been the targets of what seems to be politically-motivated murders.
