E09: Filmmaker Quang Nong on Vietnam's new wave of cinema
Manage episode 359476404 series 3426149
Quang moved from Vietnam's northern mountains to Hanoi to follow his dream in documentary filmmaking. He created a film about Grindr that was shortlisted for awards - and also banned. Since then, he's produced multiple shorts about Vietnam's queer scene and is now working on a documentary about his sister's journey from mental health challenges to motherhood, which has recently won a grant from Bangkok-based film fund Purin Pictures. In this episode, he talks about why the Oscar-shortlisted documentary "Children of the Mist" is so important for Vietnam (and well worth watching!) and recommends other Vietnamese documentaries to look out for.
