Mao Ayuth, one of the few Cambodian filmmakers to survive the Khmer Rouge era, during which most artists and intellectuals were killed, and who then rose to become secretary of state in the Ministry of Information, died on April 15 in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital. He was 76.
Phos Sovann, a spokesman for the ministry, said the cause was complications of COVID-19.
Mr. Mao Ayuth, who was also a novelist, poet and screenwriter, began his film career in the 1960s and early â70s, in what became known as a golden age of Cambodian cinema. Filmmaking flourished under the countryâs leader at the time, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, an avid cineaste who directed his own films.
