From the organizer:
This February 25th, Ô Cách Ciné is officially open at Á Space and will welcome its first visitors!
Three people catch sight of themselves in the scene of an encounter. Senses of a crystal-clear friendship and consolations bind themselves to a promise to reunite on an unfixed date before hitting the roads with their itinerary.
This February 2023, they are to meet again at Ô Cách Ciné in a film titled ‘A chance encounter’. For this encounter, each of them incorporates the stories they want to tell into a shared structure: events associated with the life of the monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, Từ Phúc’s search for immortality, and fragmented, layered splinters of different landscapes.
Four years gone by with undetermined crossroads, plans, and calculations of lives, only the promise is still there, nested by the longings for meeting and seeing-finding each other again.
