The Flicks Community Movie Theater, is the first independent movie house in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Its venue offer big screen movies in air conditioned movie rooms to the expatriate community.
The Flicks is a member of the Motion Picture Association of Cambodia (MPAC) and registers all its screening titles to the Cambodian Department of Cinema & Cultural Difussion - as the only movie house in Cambodia doing so.
The Flicks is praised locally for its no-cell-phone policy. Whoever uses a phone of any kind for any reason during the screening of a movie, is requested to leave the venue immediately.
History
Martin and Jeanette Robinson founded The Flicks Festival Movie House in 2009. They renovated a pre-Khmer Rouge villa into one with an air conditioned movie room with a bar. In March 2011 Dutch serial entrepreneur Ramon Stoppelenburg took over the business, after an online fund-raising to save the movie theater.[1]
The Flicks 2
Because of the high popularity of the initial first movie theater, the demand rose for a second location in the city center. A brand new movie venue was constructed on #89, Street 136, inside the 11 Happy Backpackers Hotel. The Killing Fields (film) screens daily at The Flicks 2 and is sold out very day. The Flicks 2 can seat 20 people. The Flicks 2 closed in December 2017.
The Flicks 3
The Flicks 3 on #8, Street 258, between Wat Botum Park and the Hotel Cambodiana, opened its doors in August 2014 and is the first venue that is also a restaurant, cocktail bar and guesthouse. The Flicks 3 can seat 30 people. The Flicks 3 closed in December 2017.
