From the organizer:
Set in a small village in Quảng Trị—a region once scarred by the fires of war — The Future Cries Beneath Our Soil follows four men living amidst the remnants of bomb craters that never cease to hold sand. In a space that feels almost outside of time, they gather in a doorless house: drinking, smoking, singing, and talking about love, life, and war, in rhythms that repeat into the infinite.
Eschewing a dramatic or linear structure, the film operates on sensation, rhythm, and silence—where waiting and dissipation become its core materials. Phạm Thu Hằng crafts the work as an exploration of post-war spaces, collective memory, and the mechanisms of survival in communities suspended in delayed memories.
Phạm Thu Hằng is a filmmaker currently living and teaching in Saigon. The Future Cries Beneath Our Soil has been screened at the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival (South Korea) and the Singapore International Film Festival, where she received the Best Director award. The film exemplifies contemporary documentary filmmaking, pushing the boundaries between reality and expression through a restrained, precise, and deeply contemplative visual language.
