From Goethe Institut:
As part of the Fatih Akin Film Series, the Goethe-Institut Vietnam presents a selection of films by the German director in Hanoi and HCMC on six evenings. The films of Fatih Akin, who has a Turkish background, are more topical and relevant than ever, dealing with issues of migration and identity, culture and homeland. The Goethe-Institut will screen films of various genres, appealing to all of the viewer’s emotions: from a musical portrait of the bustling metropolis Istanbul, which has been built on two continents, to an intercultural comedy to a historical drama.
As every year, the Film Series offers a diverse and entertaining program for the interested public! The films “Solino” and “Kebab Connection” are the first to start on 11th and 12th of March, both of them tackling the issue of intercultural and family problems.
