From Manzi:
To kick-start our new series of experimental movie and video art screenings entitled CHIẾU BÓNG (Vietnamese for cinema), we are bringing you THE SOUND WE SEE: A HANOI CITY SYMPHONY, a cinematic exploration of the dynamic urban environment of Vietnam’s capital, made in partnership with Hanoi DocLab & the Echo Park Film Center (EPFC).
For a month, 18 local filmmakers worked together to document the rhythm and movement of daily life in Hanoi from their unique perspectives. Dividing the day into its two-dozen hours, participants shot locations they felt best represented the city at each particular time of day and night with each hour becoming one minute in the final film. The result is a spectacular 24-minute journey through Hanoi as it has never before been experienced, shot on black and white Super 8 motion picture film and hand-processed by the filmmakers on-site at DocLab.
Apart from this film, January’s CHIẾU BÓNG is also bringing you a series of experimental short films by Hanoi Doclab’s film makers entitled ‘Four Windows’. With the concept of looking out the window to see different worlds, the films is part of a kaleidoscope of many-fold observations of every-day Vietnamese life. An experimental approach, a stringent documentary reflection or even a documentary staging – the directors choose themselves.
Free entry – seats limited.
