Screening ‘Artist Film International 2013’
In collaboration with 14 other international institutions, Hanoi Doclab presents Artists’ Film International (AFI) 2013, a touring program of video art organized by the Whitechapel Gallery in London. Every year, each program partner selects one video work by an artist from their country in order to create an international pool of videos that aims to offer an overview of contemporary video art and its diverse formats.
Past AFI editions have presented works by Vietnamese video artists Phu Nam Thuc Ha, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Dinh Q Le, and Nguyen Trinh Thi. For this edition, San Art nominated “The City & the City” by Hong-An Truong (in collaboration with Dwayne Dixon).
This Súp Video Soup screening presents a selection of 8 works by Neha Choksi, Alix Pearstein, Nasan Tur, Ana Gallardo, Rahraw Omarzad, Morgan Wong, Hong-An Truong và Dwayne Dixon.
Screening ‘5 Emerging Experimental Filmmakers of Hanoi’
To close our 10-day eventful Súp Video Soup Vol.1, Hanoi Doclab is presenting an exciting screening of films by 5 emerging experimental filmmakers of Hanoi, who belong to what might come to be described as the first generation of the Vietnamese experimental film.
What are they seeing? How are they seeing it? Why do they make films they way they do?
Perhaps it is, to these young filmmakers, the old models no longer satisfy the ways in which they must interact visually with the world evolving around them. When the social landscape is shifting – as it must – then the ways of seeing, ‘how’ something is looked at, must change too. This is the reinvention, the experimental creation of a new way of telling. Here is an invitation to reconsider the patterns that blur before us everyday. These selected filmmakers are, through their repeated experiments in films, beginning to create a non-narrative, personal and intuitive approach to describing their own experiences and ours as well.
Our 5 filmmakers are: Nguyễn Thuỷ Tiên, Khổng Việt Bách, Chu Kim Đức, Nguyễn Hoàng Giang, and Đỗ Hà Thu.
Đỗ Hà Thu was born in 1987. She has joined many filmmaking workshops at Doclab since 2011. She likes creative and community works.
Nguyễn Hoàng Giang was born in 1989. He participated in TPD’s ‘We are Filmmakers’ program, and studied documentary filmmaking with Doclab in 2012. Currently he’s a freelance filmmaker and also pursues art projects from installation to photography.
Chu Kim Đức was born in 1980. She graduated from Hanoi Architecture College, and received her Master’s in Architecture in France. She has joined different film workshops at Doclab since 2012, and is determined to pursue the career of an independent filmmaker.
Khổng Việt Bách was born in 1983. He graduated from Hanoi Architecture College. He learned filmmaking at Doclab since 2012, and has been experimenting with both video and photography.
Nguyễn Thuỷ Tiên was born in 1993. She’s studying Photography at Hanoi Cinema College. 2013 was a year full of new experiences for her: She joined Doclab’s Photography workshop with Jamie Maxtone-Graham, had a group show, ‘Autopsy of Days’, with her series of family members; ‘Open Studio’ at Nha San Collective; and participated in Angkor Photo Festival workshop.
