Twelve years of movies, one long intermission

From 2009 to 2021, The Flicks was Phnom Penh's only independent, licensed art house cinema — three venues across the city where expats, travelers and film lovers watched foreign films, festival winners, documentaries and classics from rattan sofas and lounge beds, cold drink in hand. The pandemic brought the curtain down on August 8, 2021, and the community never stopped asking when it would come back.

That intermission ends this September. Read more about our new home here
