Screenings
Returning to her ancestral village in Vietnam, Duong collaborates with her father, relatives and the local community to bring buried memories into the present through participatory re-creations. Moving between reconstructed scenes and the intimate process of their making, the film explores the emotional complexities of revisiting the past, and gently dissolves the boundaries between lived experience and memory.
