French film festival to feature Hanoi inner-city life
(VOV) - Once again, Vietnamese culture will be shared through film, as Dap Canh Giua Khong Trung (Flapping from the Middle of Nowhere) is set to screen November 25 to December 2 at a festival in Nantes city, France.
The full-length film zeroes in on the mundane realities of inner-city life in Hanoi for a pregnant teenager, by young and upcoming director Nguyen Hoang Diep, and provides a candid representation of sexuality and adolescence in Vietnam.
The film, scheduled for six screenings, will compete against nine others including those from Singapore, Argentina, the Republic of Korea and the Philippines.
The Festival of the three continents is an annual film festival held since 1979 in Nantes, France and is devoted to the cinemas of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
