We Are Fully Backed Up

Phnom Penh’s community cinema is reopening in a familiar neighborhood soon. We were looking for a few people to lend us the money to make it happen — and get it back. We got fully funded this way!

For years, The Flicks was where Phnom Penh went to watch films that played nowhere else. You watched in air conditioned uber comfort, with great sound, a crisp clear big screen, and enjoyed marvelous popcorn and cold drinks.

Then it closed. Blame Covid. Blame a landlord who suddenly wanted $2500 per month in rent. Anyway. We’re opening it again at a new location, and we have found a small group of people to help us do it.

What we're building

A small, independent cinema lounge — one properly soundproofed and air conditioned movie room with a minimum of 28 comfy seats with a professional HDPC Projector, a DCI-compliant digital cinema media server, a unique Dolby Atmos Surround System and a voltage-isolating UPS, and a little concession bar with our amazing popcorn maker.

Nothing about it is large, and that is the point. It will be built to run quietly and to pay its own way from the first month it opens.
