About The Future Cries Beneath Our Soil (2018)
Surrounded by the surreal landscape of Quang Tri province, four men live their lives inseparably from each other. The rhythm of their everyday lives is defined by moments of togetherness in a house with no doors where they all come to drink, smoke, play guitar, and sing songs about love and the revolution of the past. Feelings of hatred interweave with compassion, swelling amidst the stagnation of time and space, seemingly awaiting an unknown. One day, the unknown comes and takes one of them away, leaving the others to go on slipping through an undesired life. Meanwhile, the landscape, located on the border between North and South Vietnam, is what lives on, revealing traces of a war that has outlived its conclusion.

About the director Phạm Thu Hằng
Phạm Thu Hằng has worked as a researcher at the Vietnam Institute of Culture and Art since 2004. She later joined HanoiDoclab, a documentary and video art center in Hanoi where she made several short documentary films. She has since decided to add her voice to the young independent documentary filmmakers community in Vietnam. She recently obtained her Master’s in Documentary Directing in Europe under the DocNomads Joint Masters program.
Her concern in filmmaking opens to many themes but mainly draws attention to rediscovering Vietnamese culture and the connection between the internal world in Vietnam and the world outside, especially in the context of contemporary globalization. For her, documentaries are the most efficient way to express her ideas about life.
Her works include “The Future Cries Beneath Our Soil” (2018), “Hải Lý” (2010), and “Hard Rails Across a Gentle River” (2010).
