UNAFF a resounding success!

I wanted to report back that the First Traveling UNAFF Festival Phnom Penh was a grand success. The first night, even with torrential downpours, filled the house with about 45 people, many of whom were truly inspired by the films, including one person who wants to translate Digital Dump into Khmer. The second night, with a film about UN leader Sergio, attracted over 65 people, including 10 people who stood for the entire film. The film stirred a range of emotions, from sadness among those who knew him, to resentment among those who felt the film over-glorified his life.
