Influential feminist theorist and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha’s lyrical film essay commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of the war draws inspiration from ancient legend and from water as a force evoked in every aspect of Vietnamese culture. In Forgetting Vietnam images of contemporary life unfold as a dialogue between land and water – the elements that form the term “country.” Fragments of text and song evoke the echoes and traces of a trauma of international proportions. The encounter between the ancient as related to the solid earth, and the new as related to the liquid changes in a time of rapid globalisation, creates a third space of historical and cultural re-memory – what local inhabitants, immigrants and veterans remember of yesterday’s stories to comment on today’s events.

Trinh T Minh-ha |USA/South Korea/Germany | 2015 | 1hr 30m
