From the organizer:
For ProjectBlack 8th documentary we are showing a revamped version of an old Vietnamese folk tale “The Toad who Dared to Challenge Heaven” This features the artist Pham Trung Kien whose paintings began to be mysteriously invaded by a large frog like creature. Eventually he realizes that this is his alter ego to help him challenge the problems of modern urban Vietnam. We follow him as he internalizes that old folk tale and finds within it some kind of hope that we see revealed in his art.
