Abstract

This issue of AEMS News and Reviews covers three documentary films on the interactions of art, politics, history, and people's daily lives in Turkey, Cambodia, and the Philippines. The Play documents how women living in a village in southern Turkey express themselves by creating and staging their own theatrical play. In this play, the women enact their own life stories, giving voice to how individual experiences influence their daily lives, families, and communities. Don't Think I've Forgotten explores the history, politics, and contemporary traces of how Cambodian musicians incorporated Western rock and roll music styles with Cambodian traditional music during the 1960s and ’70s, a period after Cambodia gained independence from French colonial rule in 1953. Jeepney visualizes the richly diverse cultural heritage of the Philippines through its boldly decorated and ultimately iconic mass transport vehicle.
