Featuring unfamiliar histories of Vietnam and rare archive film from the Vietnam Film Institute, DUST & METAL (C\u00c1T B\u1ee4I & KIM LO\u1ea0I) is a poetic reflection on Vietnam\u2019s love affair with motorbikes. With a population of 97 million, and 45 million registered motorbikes (the highest in SouthEast Asia) that\u2019s almost one bike for every two people. The countries urban roads and \u2018h\u1ebbm\u2019 alleys are only accessible by two-wheels. These roads are awash with the transportation of goods of all types and sizes on the back of motorbikes, including washing machines, entire families, and chickens. The sounds of engines and horns create a symphony of Vietnamese life.<\/p>\n

Through a unique partnership with the Vietnam Film Institute to digitize rare archive film, this British Council funded Vietnamese-British project repositions difficult to access archive film alongside contemporary footage of Vietnam, and a score composed and performed by Vietnamese US-based artist Xo Xinh. The work takes the form of a creative poetic documentary in the vein of director\u00a0Esther Johnson\u2019s live cinema feature film\u00a0ASUNDER.<\/p>\n

Esther says on the screening in Leeds,\u00a0“<\/i>I\u2019m thrilled to be invited to screen \u2018Dust & Metal\u2019 at LIFF, a festival that has supported many of my short films. I\u2019m fascinated with film heritage so it\u2019s additionally fantastic to screen in Leeds, a city where Louis Le Prince shot, arguably, the earliest films in 1888. \u2018Dust & Metal\u2019 has been a labour of love made through the particularly difficult period of covid lockdowns. The film integrates much unseen footage from the Vietnam Film Institute, and it was incredibly gratifying to be able to contribute to the preservation of such works from Vietnam\u2019s film heritage through new 2K scans made of rare films.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
