Royal Ballet

Working in collaboration with UNESCO and the Cambodian Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, Navigator Communications produced a short film to support the Royal Ballet of Cambodia's candidature for the Proclamation of Masterpieces or Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This unique status was granted to the Royal Ballet in November 2003 and the film played an integral part of the extensive application process. The film's aim was to illustrate the efforts that have been undertaken by UNESCO and the Royal Cambodian Government to manage, preserve, protect and promote this truly unique example of traditional culture. Using extensive archive footage, as well as newly shot images, the film took the viewer on a journey from the ballet's origins at the court of the ancient Khmer empire, through its ruin at the destructive hands of the Khmer Rouge, to its resurgence as the pre-eminent symbol, and centre-piece, of Cambodian culture. The film received special praise from UNESCO for its clarity of message and for its remarkable imagery.
