Film Screening “Volver” by Pedro Almodóvar at TPD
Fri 19 Jun 2015, 7.30 pm
Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents
51 Tran Hung Dao Str (4th floor), Hanoi
Not as famous as “All About My Mother”, not as popular as “Talk to Her”, but “Volver” is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding works of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Following the green color (“Amelie”), blue (“Blue”), dark orange (“Her”), this week, let’s enjoy the special red color of “Volver”.
About the film:
VOLVER is a 2006 Spanish drama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Headed by actress Penélope Cruz, the film features an ensemble cast also starring Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas, Blanca Portillo, Yohana Cobo, and Chus Lampreave.
Revolving around an eccentric family of women from a wind-swept region south of Madrid, Cruz plays Raimunda, a working-class woman forced to go to great lengths to protect her 14-year-old daughter Paula. To top off the family crisis, her mother Irene comes back from the dead to tie up loose ends.
VOLVER was one of the films competing for the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It eventually won two awards: Best Actress (shared by the six main actresses) and Best Screenplay. The film’s premiere was held on March 10, 2006, in Puertollano, Spain, where the filming had taken place. Penélope Cruz was nominated for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first Spanish woman ever to be nominated in that category.

Film Screening “Exit Through the Gift Shop” by Banksy
Sat 20 Jun 2015, 6 pm
Nha San Collective
2nd floor, 24 Ly Quoc Su, Hanoi
Nha San Collective presents “Exit Through the Gift Shop” by street artist Banksy.
“Exit Through the Gift Shop” is one of the most provocative films about art ever made – a fascinating study of the value of authenticity, financially and aesthetically; about what it means to be a superstar in a subculture built on shunning the mainstream; about how sensibly that culture judges, and monetizes, talent.
Banksy is a pseudonymous English graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
Banksy’s works have dealt with various political and social themes, including anti-war, anti-consumerism, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, anti-authoritarianism, anarchism, nihilism, and existentialism. Banksy once characterised graffiti as a form of underclass “revenge”, or guerilla warfare that allows an individual to snatch away power, territory and glory from a bigger and better equipped enemy. Banksy’s work has also shown a desire to mock centralised power, hoping that his work will show the public that although power does exist and works against you, that power is not terribly efficient and it can and should be deceive.
The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and won numerous other awards.

The spirited, headstrong and horny Belle enters the Beast’s castle, bringing rice alcohol from the Vietnamese countryside… She begins to draw the cold-hearted Beast out of his isolation. They get drunk, they start to make creepy noises which they decide to call music. Pubs after bars, they ride to share their spicycrunchyfloppycosyrock music around the world!

They are joined recently by Jonjie A. Narciso, an independent drummer and percussionist from the Philippine Islands.

Film Screening “Lighter than Orange – The Legacy of Dioxin in Vietnam”
Thu 18 Jun 2015, 7.30 pm
Hanoi Cinematheque
22A Hai Bà Trưng, Hà Nội
Friends of Vietnam Heritage (FVH) would like to present to its members the Vietnam premier showing of the documentary: “Lighter than Orange – The legacy of Dioxin in Vietnam”.
This documentary reveals a political failure through individual biographies. It depicts the fates of a few of the 4 million Vietnamese veterans who have been victims of Agent Orange, a dioxin-based herbicide which was used to clear foliage from trees.
These veterans speak about their exposure to the dioxin-based herbicide during the war and their lives afterwards. They each brought home changes in their DNA from exposure to the herbicide which would later be shown to mutate a person‘s genetic code. This change was passed down through generations and now children and grandchildren are suffering from incurable illnesses and debilitating deformity.
Ligher Than Orange was selected for screening at the KuaLa Lumpur EcoFilm Festival (Oct 2014) and the Docpoint Helsinki Documentary Film Festival (Feb 2015). It was an Offical Selection for the Socially Relevant Film Festival in New York (March 16 – 2) and came away with the Grand Prize Documentary Feature Award. It was also a Gold Award winner in the Film makers World Festival in Jakarta (March 18 – 27).
Runtime: 72 minutes Vietnamese with English subtitles.
There will be a Question and Answer session afterwards with some of the films veterans and children from the Friendship Village.

Film Screening “Y/Our Music” – Screening Program by The Onion Cellar at ASEAN Music Festival 2015

ATK
73a Mai Hac De, Hanoi
The Onion Cellar presents a screening of Y/OUR MUSIC (official Vietnam premiere)
Part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST 1 @ ASEAN Music Festival 2015
Y/OUR MUSIC (82 min / Thailand / 2014)
Directed by David Reeve & Waraluck Hiransrettawat Every
Y/OUR MUSIC immerses itself in the world of Thai musical expressions, from traditional music to labor songs and classical pop to urban indie music, spanning different locales and generations.
As nine musicians display their musical expression, the rural or urban environments that influenced their sound are also explored. The hands that play traditional instruments amid the red dust clouds, the work songs being hummed in front of grains awaiting harvest, and the indie music born out of concrete basements – all create a melodious ecosystem, captured in a sensory journey from the noisy polluted streets of Bangkok to the calm, arid fields of Isan (the country’s northeastern region bordering Laos and Cambodia).
While inhabiting different worlds, the musicians are linked by the same passion to bring their artistic aspirations to the fore and survive outside the pop mainstream.
Y/OUR MUSIC is part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST (SXSE) 1
SXSE is a series of Southeast Asian music documentaries curated by The Onion Cellar and Vanity Production Vietnam. Consisting of 3 feature films and a special showcase of shorts, SXSE’s first installment celebrates musicians operating on the fringe of society.

8 Nguyen Van Trang, Dist 1, HCMC
In the first part of a two-part special series within the European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival, new films by young filmmakers from Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam will be presented on Sunday, June 14. Moreover, two Docfilm Networks will be presented in the afternoon: Lumière du Monde – EurasiaDoc and DocNet SEA “Dare to Dream”.
The afternoon program will be followed in the evening by the award-winning music documentary Sound of Heimat by German director Arne Birkenstock, who will personally present his film. He describes in a humorous way the turbulent journey of the New Zealand saxophonist Hayden Chisholm through the German music landscape. Far removed from clichés, Chisholm explores both traditional and modern paths of German music and invites the viewer to join him on a unique journey of discovery.
The films in the special series display a dazzling range of topics; the tone alternates between humorous and serious. The various locations and characters lead the audience to places outside of the public eye and tell the stories of those who often have no voice.
The audience is invited, for example, to cheer on the superwomen of the Laotian Women’s National Team, who demonstrate with untiring zeal and passionate devotion that rugby is a sport for everyone, while the contribution from Thailand portrays the lives of villagers in northern Thailand who live far from highways and without running water and electricity.

Part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST 1 @ ASEAN Music Festival 2015
YANGON CALLING (61 min / Myanmar/Germany / 2013)
Directed by Alexander Dluzak and Carsten Piefke
In the 90’s, sailors brought the first punk rock cassettes into Myanmar. Since then a scene with several hundred followers has emerged in Yangon.
The film YANGON CALLING introduces the main protagonists of the punk rock scene and shows their life in Myanmar’s underground. During six weeks, the filmmakers Alexander Dluzak and Carsten Piefke filmed secretly and without authorization in Yangon, using small cameras. They accompanied the punks to their homes and met their friends and families. They went along with them to work in the tailor shop and tattoo studio, to rehearsal rooms and secret illegal concerts. They spoke with punks who had sat in jail during the military dictatorship and saw them fight their frustration with heroin.
YANGON CALLING is a film about life in an authoritarian state, about personal tragedy and the struggle for freedom in a country where punk is still true rebellion.
YANGON CALLING – PUNK IN MYANMAR is part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST (SXSE) 1

Documentary Screening “Manufactured Landscape” by Edward Burtynsky and Jennifer Baichwal
Sun 14 Jun 2015, 6 – 8 pm
Nha San Collective
2nd floor, 24 Ly Quoc Su, Hanoi
This June, Nha San Collective together with Doclab, would like to introduce to you a documentary film “Manufactured Landscape” by Jennifer Baichwal and Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky – who uses large format field camera (super-16mm film) to capture ecological disasters caused by man.
Footage from “Manufactured Landscape” was mainly shot in China, where the economy is rising strongly and rapidly accompanied by the demand for energy, exploiting, deforestation and waste.
Three Gorges Dam – the largest dam and artificial lake ever created by man. To create this construction, they has uprooted more than one million people and flooded 13 cities. An amount of compensation was given to the people for the deconstruction of their own place where they were living in.
Shanghai – the world’s fastest growing city where the skyscrapers are springing up to replace the old neighborhoods and small houses.
Chinese leaders have a powerful visualization of a society where 70% is urban and 30% is rural. To do this, one needs a large amount of oil and coal to provide energy. But after all this, where is China headed? What would the environment and even this planet become?
Through Edward Burtynsky’s lens, the metaphorical images about the dilemma of modern life, the pursuit of progress, a dialogue between gravity (an enchanting beauty) and thrust (the horror) created an uncomfortable contradiction.
We act accordingly to our wishes – “a better life” but we also realize that the world is devastated and heartbroken by our success. We exploit and depend on nature to provide the materials produced for consumption – and we are also interested in the health of the planet.
“Manufactured Landscape” could be considered as a reflection of the generation we’re living in.

Contemporary Exhibition “Mien Meo Mieng” by 14 Vietnamese Artists in Sweden
Exhibition: 14 Jun – 01 Nov 2015
Bildmuseet, part of the Arts Campus at Umeå University
Umeå, Sweden
From the organizer:
Mien Meo Mieng means ‘Land of Distortions’. Caution, consideration and contortion are required in order to express one’s opinion in Vietnamese society, a reality with origins in the country’s history. A serious and critical message is often hidden behind a seemingly innocent and sometimes humorous statement.
Mien Meo Mieng exhibition includes video, painting, sculpture and installations by Vietnamese artists active in their homeland. The works deal with the topics of the aftermath of war, migration, economic conditions and the vulnerability of Vietnamese society.
The participating artists are Bang Nhat Linh, Nguyen Huy An, Nguyen Manh Hung, Nguyen Tran Nam, Nguyen Trinh Thi, Nguyen Phuong Linh, Nguyen The Son, Pham Tran Viet Nam, Tran Kim Ngoc, Tran Tuan, Trieu Minh Hai, Truong Cong Tung, UuDam Nguyen, Vu Duc Toan and Vu Hong Ninh.
Mien Meo Mieng has been produced by Bildmuseet and curated by Tran Luong. Assistant curator: Le Thuan Uyen.
Bildmuseet is a centre for contemporary art and visual culture as well as a place for experiences, reflection and discussion. It is a part of the Arts Campus at Umeå University. The city Umeå of Sweden in 2014 was named the European Capital of Culture together with Riga (Latvia).Rural Operetta Performance “The Young ladies Sings Rural Operetta”
Sat 13 Jun 2015, 8 pm
L’Espace
24 Tràng Tiền, Hà Nội
Hát chèo is a form of Vietnamese light opera, born in the 10th century and developed in the rural areas of the Red River’s delta. With a woman as the main character, this operetta focuses on the symbolic gesture that is characteristic of the Asian theatre, with songs, lullabies and rhythms where lyrism and pamphlet are combined.
In counterpoint to this special lyric art, L’Espace proposes an exhibition of pictures made for the piece Vân Dại (Vân the Mad) on rice paper, by painter Ly Truc Son, who also drew the scenery of this light opera.
Tickets
Ticket price: 160,000 VND

European – Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival 2015
Hanoi: 10 – 19 Jun 2015
National Studio for Documentary and Scientific Film
–
HCMC: 11 – 20 Jun 2015
Hoa Sen University
EUNIC and the National Studio for Documentary and Science Films once again invite audiences to immerse themselves in visual worlds of experience from a variety of cultures at the 7th European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival.
A stimulating dialogue between European and Vietnamese documentaries will be created by the format of the festival. Each evening a film from Vietnam will be followed by a film from Denmark, Germany, France, Israel, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Spain or Sweden.
In addition, young filmmakers from various Southeast Asian countries offer a look at their reality. A special film series will screen contributions from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
The genre of the documentary has in recent years enjoyed ever increasing popularity worldwide. The open and genuine view of the world offers viewers an opportunity to gain an understanding of diverse realities and cultures through images.
The themes of the films reflect discourses in contemporary society and provide a basis for discussion and exchange. This year, for example, two European films (from Israel and Denmark) address the issue of gender and identity, each portraying the lives of two young people outside normative gender boundaries. Several of the Vietnamese contributions have won awards at festivals, and many focus, among other things, on the experiences and the horrors of the war, the end of which recently marked its 40th anniversary.
All entries will be screened from 10 – 19 June in Hanoi and from 11 – 20 June in Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, two workshops will be held: one in Hanoi with the German filmmaker Arne Birkenstock on script development and one in HCMC with the Israeli filmmaker Shirley Berkovitz.

Opening of the 7th European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival in Hanoi
Sat 13 Jun 2015, 2 – 9 pm
National Studio for Documentary and Scientific Film
465 Hoang Hoa Tham, Hanoi
The 7th European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival opens in Hanoi with the film “Lasting with the time” by Lê Hồng Chương. He deals with the fate of those Vietnamese soldiers who fought in South Vietnam during the war and died there, leaving only their letters and diaries behind. Based on these documents, “Lasting with the time” traces the lives of the soldiers, their fears and wishes.
This is followed by the award-winning music documentary “Sound of Heimat” by German director Arne Birkenstock, who will personally present his film. He describes in a humorous way the turbulent journey of the New Zealand saxophonist Hayden Chisholm through the German music landscape. Far removed from clichés, Chisholm explores both traditional and modern paths of German music and invites the viewer to join him on a unique journey of discovery.
Sound of Heimat
Arne Birkenstock was born in 1967 and lives in Cologne as writer, director and film producer. He studied economics, politics, history and Romance languages in Cologne, Buenos Aires and Córdoba. His films have won numerous awards, including the 2011 German Film Award for Best Children’s Film as well as the 2010 Award for Best Documentary at the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival for “Chandani and her Elephant”, and the 2014 German Film Award in the category Best Feature-length Documentary for “Beltracchi – The Art of Forgery”. Arne Birkenstock is a member of the German Film Academy, the European Film Academy and the European Documentary Network (EDN), and is active in the Documentary Film Working Group (AG DOK).
Free admission.
New Films from Southeast Asia at European – Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival 2015
A special series within the European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival will present new films by young filmmakers from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam on Saturday, June 13.
The films display a dazzling range of topics; the tone alternates between humorous and serious. The various locations and characters lead the audience to places outside of the public eye and tell the stories of those who often have no voice.
The audience is invited, for example, to cheer on the superwomen of the Laotian Women’s National Team, who demonstrate with untiring zeal and passionate devotion that rugby is a sport for everyone, while the contribution from Malaysia is more serious: the venue is Kuala Lumpur’s red light district where 17-year-old Ida and her family must struggle to get by.
Moreover two Docfilm Networks will be presented in the afternoon: Lumière du Monde – EurasiaDoc and DocNet SEA “Dare to Dream”.

Photo Exhibition “Vietnam: The Real War”
Opening: Fri 12 Jun 2015, 9 am
Exhibition: 12 – 26 Jun 2015
The Exhibition Hall, 45 Trang Tien Str, Hanoi
To cover the war in Vietnam, The Associated Press gathered a group of extraordinary photojournalists in its Saigon bureau, creating one of the greatest photographic legacies of the 20th century. Forty years later, a collection of 50 gripping AP images will be on display in Vietnam to tell the human story behind the conflict.
The exhibit will open June 12 at The Exhibition Hall, 45 Trang Tien St., Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. It will feature images drawn from AP’s much-acclaimed photo history, “Vietnam: The Real War.” From Malcolm Browne’s horrific photograph of an elderly Buddhist monk, voluntarily set ablaze during a protest against the South Vietnamese government, to Nick Ut’s famous picture of a 9-year-old girl running scorched and naked from a napalm attack, the selected images capture the drama and tragedy of people caught in war. Other AP photographers represented in the exhibit include Horst Faas and Henri Huet.
A few days before the exhibit opens, Ut will revisit the site near Trang Bang, outside of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), where he took his iconic photo on June 8, 1972. In addition, Ut will chronicle his journey back via AP Images’ Instagram account, providing an intimate view of what he saw and felt in those moments and his perspective more than 40 years later. AP won six Pulitzer Prizes for its coverage in Vietnam, four of them for photography, including Ut’s award in 1973.
The exhibit will run through June 26, 2015. Admission is free. Other exhibits drawn from “Vietnam: The Real War” were previously presented at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York and the headquarters of the Guardian in London.

‘Philadelphia, Here I Come’ centers around the character Gar on his last night in the small Irish town of Ballybeg. In the morning he leaves for Philadelphia, America. At it’s core, the play is about communication – or more specifically, the lack of it.
Gar is portrayed by two characters – Public (the man that is seen, heard and talked about) and Private (the unseen man, the alter ego, the secret thoughts). Throughout the course of the play Public and Private battle with Gar’s failed relationships, his imminent departure for America and the memory of his dead mother.
