Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents
51 Tran Hung Dao Str (4th floor), Hanoi
Following the green color in Amélie, this week you are invited to the film screening of “Blue”, directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski and filled with another color – Blue.
About film:
THREE COLORS: BLUE ( French: ‘Trois couleurs: Bleu’ ) is a 1993 French drama film written, produced, and directed by the acclaimed Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski. BLUE is the first of three films that comprise ‘The Three Colors Trilogy’, themed on the French Revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity; it is followed by ‘White’ and ‘Red’. According to Kieślowski, the subject of the film is liberty, specifically emotional liberty, rather than its social or political meaning.
Set in Paris, the film is about a woman whose husband and child are killed in a car accident. Suddenly set free from her familial bonds, she attempts to cut herself off from everything and live in isolation from her former ties, but finds that she cannot free herself from human connections.

Film Screening “Harana” – Screening Program by The Onion Cellar at ASEAN Music Festival 2015
Wed 10 Jun 2015, 8 pm
Cinematheque
From The Onion Cellar:
The Onion Cellar presents a screening of HARANA (official Vietnam premiere), part of SOUNDS BY SOUTHEAST 1 @ ASEAN Music Festival 2015.
HARANA – THE SEARCH FOR THE LOST ART OF SERENADE
(103 phút / Philippines / 2012)
Directed by Benito Bautista
Produced by Floranter Aguilar & Fides Enriquez
“Upon his father’s death, Florante, a classically trained guitarist returns to the Philippines after 12 years of absence. During his stay he rediscovers the music of harana – a long-forgotten tradition of Filipino serenading when men sang under the window at night to fearlessly declare their love for a woman.
Intent on unearthing these unheralded songs, Florante travels to the remote provinces where he discovers three of the last surviving practitioners – a farmer, a fisherman and a tricycle driver.
Astounded by their golden voices, Florante asks them to travel with him to perform and record these unknown songs.
During their travels, the haranistas meet Brian, a shy young man who for years has been secretly in love with a schoolmate. The haranistas, who have not serenaded in the last thirty years, offered their services to serenade Brian’s object of affection, resulting in one of the most tender moments of genuine harana captured on film.
Word soon spread around Manila of leathery faced men whose style of untrained but sincere and expressive singing touch the hearts everywhere they performed, culminating in a series of triumphant live performances – from the small village to prestigious concert halls to recording the first authentic harana album in the last fifty years.
But the question remains – can harana be restored to its former glory or is it doomed to vanish silently into the night forever?”

Program “Village Affairs No 4: Story of Tent” with Tôi xê dịch
Wed 03 Jun 2015, 6 pm
Trung Nguyen Creative Space
52A Hai Ba Trung Str, Hanoi
“Nowadays, whenever hearing the words “leu chong” (literally, “tent and bamboo bed”, implying “the royal Confucian examination”) many people are likely to surprise because those words have said farewell to us for nearly three decades. However, about twenty years ago and further, maybe over one thousand years, “leu chong” was dominent our country of “four thousand years of civilization”.
[…] The “Leu chong”, in Vietnam, was in fact a couple which had produced various types of people, both useful and useless. It was these things that had turned Vietnam into a cultural country. It was also them that had brought Vietnam to its extinction. With them, for a long period of time, Vietnam had experienced many bizarre situations which made people laugh, cry and be terro-stricken.”
The above excerption is taken from writer Ngô Tất Tố’s article published in magazine Thời vụ on March 10, 1939 – nearly 80 years later, we can see the same situation. When we (Tôi xê dịch) are preparing for the event Village Affairs No 4: Story of Tent and Bamboo Bed – Past and Present, some would-be participants make comments: “What a familiar and strange subject!”.
Mentioning the story of “Lều chõng” at a time when the annual exams are coming, Tôi xê dịch partly want to a backwards-looking but fresh view to our concerns: Academic distinctions and titles, the role of diplomas and future opportunities, individual talents and social imposition. Through exploring vivid stories in the past, as retold by journalist Nguyen Xuan Hong, a lover of traditional culture who is compiling sevaral books on Vietnam’s traditional culture, such as “Temples of Literature in Vietnam” and “Pictorial dictionary on traditional Vietnamese culture”, the “Lều chõng” will be an interesting topic of discussion for all of you.
“Village Affairs No 4: The Story of Tent and Bamboo Bed – Past and Present” is to be held on June 3rd 2015 at 18pm at Trung Nguyen Creative Space, 52A Hai Bà Trưng Street, Hà Nội. The event is a cooperation between Project Tôi xê dịch and Project School For Kids Vietnam (Xay Truong Cho Em). Participation fee is VND100,000, aimed to cover the costs of organizing the event, and the entire remaining amount will be donated to build schools in Lao Lung Tung mountainous village, Lung Ho, Yen Minh, Ha Giang, as part of Project School For Kids Vietnam. Detailed costs will be public and transparent on all media pages of this event.
Participants can register to attend here.
“Tôi xê dịch” is a social media project on traditional culture designed for young people, founded in June 2012, with the aim of encouraging young people to “travel more, live more”, understanding more about the nation’s values. Tôi xê dịch inspires and encourages young people to take actions in the conservation, preservation and creative promotion of culture, even in everyday life.
School For Kids Vietnam (Xay Truong Cho Em) is a community fund-raising project aiming to build schools and sub-schools in difficult and remoted areas, especially in mountainous areas. The vision of the project is to support ethnic children in difficult areas with long-time effects, by provide infrastructure and educational opportunities for ethnic which leads to a better future, starting with the basic condition that is a school. In 2013 School For Kids Vietnam successfully raised $13,000 to build a sub-school in Phieng Canh, Moc Chau Province. This year, with the fundraising goal of $20,000, a new school is to be built in Lao Lung Tung village, Lung Ho, Yen Minh in the summer of 2015, and to be opened ahead of the new academic year.

Exhibition “Carne Vale” by Nadège David and Sandrine Llouquet
Opening: Thu 04 Jun 2015, 6 pm
Exhibition: 05 Jun – 04 Jul 2015
Galerie Quynh
Level 2, 151/3 Dong Khoi, Dist 1, HCMC
You are invited to “Carne Vale”, an exhibition of new work by Nadège David and Sandrine Llouquet. The two-person show comprises drawing, sculpture and installation that reveal a poetic dimension to our human condition, through disconcerting yet strangely familiar imagery.
Carne Vale can be literally translated from Latin, according to folk etymology, as ‘farewell to meat’. In the exhibition, the adieu is to the flesh, to our human physicality and materiality. The artists also make reference to Carne Vale as ‘Carnival’, the costume festival of religious origins (where masks are obligatory) occurring before the start of Lent, during which eating meat is prohibited. Providing a visual diary of the tensions between human and nature, and of esoteric and imagined rituals, the exhibition digs into the very core of our existence.
Nadège David addresses the distressing and intense manifestation of the ‘other’ or the ‘elsewhere’ – the ‘unknown’. As during Carnival, when people escape reality by transcending and concealing themselves behind masks and costumes, while impersonating an alternate self, David confronts her drawing process as an evolving, transformative ritual on paper. The ink sinuously flows slowly revealing shapes, and in turn concealing others, developing like an exploration of the unknown and the unimaginable.
Familiar images cross with eluding shadows, as in her series La Communauté des Sentiments (2014) where realistic faces gradually dissipate/recede behind a black veil of Chinese ink, giving way to the formation of organic shapes as if their entrails were becoming visible. The darkness of uncharted and unfamiliar territories seems to envelop all, until it erases any trace of our physical being. David gives shape to the ‘farewell to flesh’, where human flesh is progressively replaced by what is left: the nucleus of its invisible essence and our animalistic, biological nature.
Sandrine Llouquet has created a personal syncretism that results from her in-depth reading and research into ancient Greek philosophy, Foucault, Nietzsche, Deleuze and Jung, and the exploration of Alchemy, through to the study of religion and rituals – and especially paganism and animism. Her work is “a marriage of the uncanny and the familiar” – Freud’s Das Unheimliche – with recognisable images from a variety of different sources combined to create dream-like tableaux.
Llouquet explores ritual transformation and the transmutation of reality, which is composed of archetypal imagery. By juxtaposing recognizable elements with strange and eerie surroundings, Llouquet, much in the same guise as a psychologist, hypnotist or guru, stimulates the deepest recesses of our unconscious and memory. Drawings in the shape of mandalas mounted on plinths stand solitary in the exhibition space, pointing to the sky, as if maps of both the unconscious and the starry void, or visualisations of ceremonial predictions and trances. Recurrent characters populate her scenes, faceless, masked, half-animal. Referencing myriad ritualistic and cultural traditions, the compositions exude an illusory higher knowledge of the world and of our place in the universe.
Although David’s and Llouquet’s processes are essentially opposite – from visualization to intellectualization and from research and conceptualization to visualization respectively – the two artists both engage with notions of transformation, transmutation, and transcendence of our physical being, spawning a skillfully fabricated parallel dimension to our human existence.

Misha Mishenko (Russia) Live in Vietnam
Wed 03 Jun 2015, 8 pm
lAcA Cafe
2nd floor, 24 – 26 Ly Quoc Su, Hanoi
You are invited to a music night with Russian artist Misha Mishenko (ambient/ neoclassical/ piano/ electroacoustic) in Hanoi.
“I’m [merely] a boy who plays with the wind. My music is a tiny reminder of God. It’s a reminder of something that’s much greater than us in this world. It’s a harmonious link between all living things and the stars.”
the vast landmass of russia has, in recent memory, not seemed to produce the most current, modern-sounding batch of world-acclaimed artists, but few beats the russian artists in their so-called submersion and inspiration-drawing from the nature (and occasionally, the society itself that they live in) being an immense supply for their creativity – simply, they do not need to go anywhere else.
gaining his direct and constant inspiration from the far north filled with boundless valleys, crystal streams and ever-dormant volcanoes, as well as the lands of fire and ice of iceland regularly mentioned in his song titles, misha mishenko delivers a sound loosely defined as neo-classical, a term largely ignored amongst the academic circles. misha plays his sounds with a heart and mind of his peer, his generation, of 21st century artists, true to thom-yorkish spirit. fed up with the over-the-top performance exhibitionism, he opts to minimalism approach, in the likes of his contemporaries such as nils frahm, peter broderick, olafu arnalds who are gaining a cross-over audiences, on one hand the restricted classical audiences and the other the more popular. he, however, doesn’t want to detach himself much from russian authenticity – via his musical language and the seemingly oft-repeated piano melodies, he want to think of greater social issues around him.
the achieved sounds, therefore, can be described as melodious, dreamy, enthralling, like the endless journeys to a world unknown, and many a time tinged with sorrows. combining the wide range of musical instrument for desired expressions, including the sounds of violin, glockenspiel, ambient sounds, his signature sounds retain enough space for originality, to be experienced, through multilayers and diverse motifs. needless to say, his favorite artist is sigur ros.
