In an interview with Cambodia Express News (CEN), an affiliate of The Cambodia Herald, Dy Saveth recalled that local films were very popular in Cambodia between 1960 and 1975. Although there are few cinemas today, she noted that technology enables movies to reach both domestic and international audiences.
The new generation of actors are skilled and look good, she says, noting that those from her generation who are still alive now live in France, the United States and Germany.
In addition to starring in hundreds of movies, Dy Saveth has worked for the Department of Cinema and Culture and has also been a judge in Freshie contests.
