a film by Didier Fassio
A joint production by Cinétévé, Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient and C. TOUT COM ! International
Fabienne Servan Schreiber andLucie Pastor
With the participation of France Télévisions and Planète
Concealed in the tropical forest for hundreds of years, the Baphuon is one of the first monuments of the great city of Angkor to have been uncovered at the beginning of the twentieth century. It would take a century of restoration before the Baphuon "temple-mount" fully revealed the extraordinary technical ability and aesthetic sophistication of the Khmer civilization. A century of on-site work, punctuated by the often dramatic turns of Cambodian history. A century of uncertainties, but also unremitting dedication, on the part of a small handful of researchers and workers.

The Secrétaire perpétuel Michel Zink "underlined the extent of the debt owed by the Cambodians and the French, and more broadly by the international community, to the École française d'Extrême-Orient, whose work in Angkor has been supported by the Académie since its beginnings".
