1 Site 2: Style and Encounter in Rithy Panh’s Cinéma-monde

Abstract
Through an analysis of Rithy Panh’s Site 2, this chapter argues for the importance of film style in theoretical discussions of world cinema and the French-language specific cinéma-monde. Panh’s film is an eye-opening view of the Site 2 refugee camp, ten years after the filmmaker himself spent several months there himself at the end of the Khmer rouge regime in Cambodia. One of the benefits of world cinema is that it brings a viewer into the daily experiences of people with very different lives. But attentiveness to particularities of style (framing, focus, lighting, music, editing, and point of view) shows how this cinema provides a rich and tactile experience of the camp while challenging the limits of the human rights ideology that Panh’s viewer is likely to hold.
