CamboFest was held for its 3rd (2009) edition, in the vintage 'Royal' cinema house in Cambodia, a pre-Khmer Rouge era Cambodian cinema hall which CamboFest brought back to life with a custom screen installation, generator, and all digital projection system. Before CamboFest 3.0, not even longtime local expats living in the area realized that the 'Royal' had once been a cinema house (of course local Cambodians remembered it well).

CAMBOFEST Grabay Meas ('Golden Buffalo') award winners  for the 3rd Edition are listed below -  CF2009 Stills in the series below by top Phnom Penh photographer, Simon Toffanello of Monsoon Pictures To cross-reference movie stills against schedule and description, pls see the PDF of schedule and lineup ...
