From TPD:
From April 2018, TPD will jump start its Cinema Weekend – where we organize screenings of Vietnamese films. Cinema Weekend is a part of Cinema to Audience project by TPD with the support from CDEF – Embassy of Denmark.
The screenings take place once a month on Saturday evenings, with the aim to show to the audience classic and/or independent Vietnamese films with high artistic value, receiving awards locally and internationally but are not well-known with the grand public. After each screening, there will be a Q&A with directors and actors of the movie.
In Cinema Weekend #01, we invite you to the screening of The Guava House (2000) and the discussion afterwards with the film’s director: People’s Artist Dang Nhat Minh.
The Guava House (2000) traces the changing values of society in Vietnam through the eyes of a gentle and kindhearted man, Hoa (Bui Bai Binh). After a childhood accident left him mentally impaired, his sister (Lan Huong) has looked after him for 30 years. Living as much in his beautiful memories as in the present, Hoa is drawn to return to his father’s house, now occupied by a businessman’s young daughter. They build a quiet friendship together, but are challenged by the misunderstandings of others.
Language: Vietnamese
Non-profit screening, free of charge
