Star Nhà Ease: Dust & Metal + Q&A – Showroom Workstation, Friday 26 July

Still from Dust & Metal by Esther Johnson

Dust & Metal is a creative documentary feature film combining archive film, newly shot footage and contemporary music, bringing unfamiliar stories of Vietnam past and present to the screen for the first time. Stepping away from Hollywood’s portrayals of the American/Vietnam War, Dust & Metal offers an unorthodox perspective of Vietnam told through the lens of the country’s ubiquitous mode of transport: the motorbike.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Esther Johnson, Professor in Film and Media Arts at Sheffield Hallam University.

Screening as part of Star Nhà Ease: Vietnamese Cinema mini-season. With the support of the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery & supported by Longdan LTD. Curated by Cường Minh Bá Phạm, Esther Johnson, and Tuyết Vân Huỳnh.
