DirectRooms.com – Rooftop Cinema in Phnom Penh

The programme changes each month and the event gives organisers the opportunity to showcase a wide range of films from both well-known and unknown film makers.

July’s showings begin on the 1st of the month and are shown regularly until the last film is screened on the 31st of the month.

Meta House was opened in 2007, working with the free University of Berlin. Its aim is to work with and promote contemporary artists. Meta House is located on street 264, close to Wat Botum Pagoda and just a few minutes walk from the Royal Palace.

Tourists and other visitors to Phnom Penh can easily make their way around the city using the excellent public transport links. There is a regular bus service which covers the city and many tourists make use of the motorcycle taxis.

When it comes to finding a hotel Phnom Penh offers a wide choice of comfortable accommodation at reasonable prices. There are a number of hotels in the area close to Meta House, which are popular with visitors due to their proximity to many tourist attractions. However, Cambodia is not yet on the main tourist trail and there are bargains to be found when it comes to booking a hotel.

Lek Boonlert, Head of Marketing at DirectRooms, says, “Booking accommodation as far in advance as possible is the best option, when you are visiting an area as popular as this district of the city.”
