The little-known Cambodia International Film Festival is getting a star-powered boost this year from Angelina Jolie Pitt. The Hollywood star, who is currently in Cambodia filming her latest movie, will serve as president of the festival's honorary committee, organizers said. "Cambodia's rich history, long culture and talented people mean it has a huge amount to offer the region and the world," Jolie Pitt said in a statement issued Tuesday by the festival. Festival adviser Cedric Eloy, head of the Cambodian Film Commission, said Jolie Pitt's role would provide moral support and help "bring attention to the rebirth of the Cambodian film industry."
