 <\/p>\n

Star Nh\u00e0 Ease will present Professor Esther Johnson\u2019s archive essay documentary\u00a0Dust & Metal<\/a><\/i>\u00a0<\/a>(2022), which features extracts from across Vietnamese cinematic history, stemming from her field research in archives of the Vietnamese Film Institute. This will be accompanied by a live score from Xo Xinh, Vietnamese electronic music composer and performer at three dates across London, Birmingham and Liverpool. The \u2018cine-concert\u2019 is a truly international collaborative project, supported by the British Council and co-produced by TPD: The Centre for Movie Talents in Hanoi. The performances are a rare opportunity to see this unique work performed live after world premiering at Sheffield DocFest 2022. and its Vietnamese premiere at Monsoon Music Festival in 2023, as a part of the British Council UK\/Viet Nam Season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among the feature films presented as part of the Season are\u00a0Little Girl of Hanoi\u00a0<\/i>(1974), a poignant portrayal of the 1972 U.S. bombing campaign over Hanoi, infused with a message of hope in H\u1ea3i Ninh\u2019s compelling drama. These screenings will be complemented by an original live musical response from Nammy Wams, a London-based music producer and DJ specialising in grime, UK drill, and the related sounds.<\/p>\n

A NOTE FROM FROM THE CURATORS<\/b><\/p>\n

Star Nh\u00e0 Ease is dedicated to unveiling the rich tapestry of Vietnamese cinema to UK audiences for the first time. This initiative will focus on expanding the understanding of Vietnam’s unique cinematic identity and spotlighting the wealth of its cinematic achievements, which remain largely unrecognised in the West.<\/p>\n

Tracing back to the 1920s, amidst a backdrop of considerable challenges and prolonged conflict, filmmakers have profoundly captured the tumultuous journey of Vietnamese people. Through their art, they have carved out a distinctive cinematic identity, establishing a voice that demands to be heard. As we approach the centenary of Vietnamese cinema in 2024, it presents a fitting moment to introduce UK audiences to a curated selection of rarely seen Vietnamese films.<\/p>\n

Our mission is to kindle a passion for Vietnamese cinema among viewers, celebrate its rich legacy, encourage the exploration of more Vietnamese films, and stimulate discussions on the narratives shaping Vietnam and its diaspora and the intrinsic value of the films we have selected. Star Nh\u00e0 Ease aims to highlight the significance of film heritage and its role in empowering underrepresented communities and voices. By doing so, we envision a scenario where individuals, who rarely see themselves reflected on screen, will be drawn to cinemas in large numbers, feeling a sense of belonging within the broader spectrum of British arts and culture.<\/p>\n

Star Nh\u00e0 Ease: Vietnamese Cinema\u00a0<\/i>Season is supported by the BFI Audience Project Fund, awarding National Lottery funding, the British Council and Longdan Ltd.<\/p>\n

The Project was originally supported by the British Council’s UK\/Viet Nam Season 2023.<\/p>\n
