From Manzi:
Manzi gladly invites you to the premiere of the short film by young filmmakers from the UK:
‘LOOKING FOR YOU | TÌM HIỂU’
A short film by Anna Nguyen & Kristine Landon-Smith
Produced by: Tuyet Van Huynh
Language: English & Vietnamese (with subtitles)
The screening will be followed by Q&A session with the film crew
‘Looking For You | Tìm Hiểu’ is a bilingual poignant and insightful film that weaves a rich tapestry of intergenerational stories through unfiltered conversations that examine the mother-daughter relationship in Vietnamese culture. Set in a cinematic metaphorical setting of “home”, the film evokes this sacred space where the discussion ranges from survival, shame, sacrifice, and the language of love: food.
The film invites the audience to engage with these stories through the unique technique of headphone verbatim which gathers testimonies from living people. Anna Nguyen & Kristine Landon Smith worked with Vietnamese researchers in Hanoi, London, Manchester and Sydney to conduct interviews that lay the foundations of the content of the film. Universal themes emerge through the specific stories of each mother-daughter relationship, and all expose the common need to understand the past.
