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.

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.

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,
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.
