Films
Tales of love, survival, war, society undergoing change... Come and view the Vietnamese films shown every month at Hanoi Cinemateque, and not only see the film but sometimes get the chance to listen to the director or meet the actors. We show the films that often do not make it to the big cinema - such as the documentary exploring traditions of mediums in Vietnamese religion, or the story of a woman trying to uncover the forgotten story of her father.
May Film - Don't Burn
We have a confirmed digital copy of Don't Burn!
In the spring of 2005, an old mother living in Hanoi receives a diary. The diary carries the notes of a young woman doctor who worked at a national liberation front hospital for two years starting in 1968 until her death. The diary was first discovered by a US military officer, who kept it for 35 years. The diary was then published in Vietnam and caused a sensation. The long moving journey linking Vietnam with the US is depicted through a true story adapted by Đặng Nhật Minh, one of Vietnam's top film directors.
The director, Đặng Nhật Minh, will be available for questions after the film. And yes, we really have a copy and will not change the fim at the last minute. :-)
