Spotlight on Women Filmmakers: Unsewing Image and Sound
March 22, 2009 by vaalastaff · Comments Off

Surname Viet, Given Name Nam, directed by Trinh T. Minh-Ha (USA, 1989)
In 1989, when I first saw Trinh Minh-Ha’s film, Surname Viet, Given Name Nam, it bore a significant imprint upon me because of the ways that this film cinematically articulated a distinctly feminist perspective on history, nationalism, and politics, all of the issues that are conventionally understood to be dominated by men. Since then, there has been a wide array of important films directed by Vietnamese women in the U.S. and Australia, such as From Hollywood to Hanoi (1993) by Tiana Thi Thanh Nga and Xich-Lo (1996) by M. Trinh Nguyen and Traps (1993) by Pauline Chan. In Vietnam, women filmmakers like Việt Linh (Chung Cư and Gánh Xiếc Rong) and Phạm Nhuệ Giang (Thung Lũng Hoang Vắng) have made films that show the different sides of postwar Vietnamese society. Today, instead of just seeing Vietnamese women on screen, then, we are now seeing that more and more Vietnamese women filmmakers are directing a great number of films, breaking new ground for other generations of women filmmakers to come.
This year, as one of ViFF’s festival organizers, I am proud to have helped to spotlight Vietnamese American women filmmakers and their films and to recognize the works of women who have been an integral part of the Vietnamese American filmic landscape. Within this dynamic landscape, women’s roles have been multiple: as actors, directors, screenwriters, editors, and producers. Their films also encompass a variety of filmic techniques, themes, and genres. Against many cultural and socioeconomic factors, the female filmmakers presented here persist in realizing their stories and images into film. In so doing, they work to undo the images of Vietnamese women in film that have rendered us prostitutes and dragon ladies in countless other films that came before. Ultimately this spotlighting of female filmmakers celebrates the ways in which women produce films. Here, at ViFF, we believe it is about time.

Footy Legends

Austrailia / 2006 / 89 minutes / 35mm color
English and Vietnamese with English subtitles
View trailer

Footy Legends takes the feel-good sports movie and turns it on its ear. Co-writer and director Khoa Do’s feature film revolves around Luc Vu (played by co-writer Anh Do) and the world of Australian rugby.
Footy Legends is set in the dead-end west Sydney suburb of Yagoona, a fitting world for Luc and his down-and-out friends, a rag-tag and ethnically diverse group of mates who were former rugby teammates in high school. When Luc, already distraught from being laid off from his job at a warehouse, is faced with social services taking away his little sister Anne (a darling performance by Lisa Saggers), he decides to gather his old team and enter the Holden Cup, an amateur rugby tournament that promises modeling jobs to the winning side.
Per the sports film genre, Footy Legends gotes through its paces: Luc’s team reunites, stumbles, nearly gets blown out in the championship match, and then musters their inner strength to come up victorious. But what separates Footy Legends from other sports films is its historical context and emotional core. Luc and his sister are closely tied to the Vietnam War and the refugee experience. Their mother has recently passed away and their father’s absence, though never mentioned, deftly implies that he died during the war. Their only connection to the past is their grandfather (a film-stealing performance by Dao Minh Sinh) who has war-genre bending secrets of his own.
Footy Legends succeeds because like all good comedy, the story negotiates sorrow without being heavy-handed and its heartfelt acting brings the audience along for the score.

All About Dad
March 13, 2009 by vaalastaff · Comments Off

written & directed by Mark Tran
Mark Tran’s poignant feature debut “All About Dad” begins with a deceptively simple image-that of a Vietnamese father trying to straighten a leaning tree on his immaculate front lawn with his bare hands, but with no success. Instead of giving up and allowing the tree to bend naturally, the father becomes more stubborn and frustrated as he repeatedly tries to fight and undo nature.
And so we are introduced to Mr. Do, the patriarch of the Do family. There is no doubt that Mr. Do loves his wife and four children-Ty, Xuan, Binh, and Linh. It is also painfully apparent that his love constitutes strict roles, responsibilities, and expectations of what each child should act, think, and feel. In Mr. Do’s eyes, the only correct path to success and happiness in life is complete devotion to the Catholic faith, higher education, and the goal of having a stable job. Any digression from these three tenants is a recipe for compromise and failure in the world.
Much to his dismay and disappointment, Mr. Do quickly realizes that every one of his children may not subscribe to his philosophy. Ty, the youngest of the Do clan, is on the verge of dropping his Biology major to devote full-time to being a filmmaker; Xuan, fresh from passing her medical board exam, is most at peace playing her guitar and singing; Binh, the straight A student, is completely enraptured by his secret girlfriend; Linh, already engaged, is afraid to tell her father that her fiancée is not Catholic. These potentially explosive revelations do not stay in the dark for long…And as a result, hilarity, poignancy, and redemption ensue when light is finally shed on them.
Much like a painter working with a vast canvas but still giving each color and shade its due, director Tran gives each character equal screen time, their struggles and triumphs conveyed through small yet poetic moments-a heartbreaking look in a mother’s eyes; an eye-opening reconciliation between two stubborn neighbors; a rooftop connection between sister and brother, aided by a song and the shimmering lights of the city at dusk. All these moments blend seamlessly into a broad portrayal of a very modern Vietnamese American family. Tran’s deft and original handling of a seemingly familiar theme of old world (immigrant parents) vs. new world (kids born and raised in America) is what gives “All About Dad” a healthy and humanistic dose of poignancy and pathos.
By the time of its closing credits, director Tran comes full circle with that seemingly simple opening image of Mr. Do trying to physically straighten that ever-bending tree; it is an image that belies its multi-layered nuances and meanings. To give away any more of “All About Dad” would surely spoil this truly tender and unforgettable tale of getting out of the way and letting “nature” takes its course.

Kim Noonan
March 12, 2009 by vaalastaff · Comments Off


Running Dragon is the third short film Kim Noonan has written and directed. The film closely examines the impact that his Vietnamese heritage had on his adopted American upbringing. It recently won the Best Social Commentary award at the Poppy Jasper Film Festival and was one of three films chosen by the Vancouver Asian Film Festival for a panel discussion regarding Asian stereotypes and racism in the film and TV community. Before undertaking Running Dragon, he took film courses at the cinema department at LACC (Los Angeles Community College) to educate himself about the technical aspects of filmmaking. He is also a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and has been in several plays and short films. However, after years of struggling to distinguish himself for casting directors, he was encouraged by his friend and creative mentor, Deborah Theaker, to write and produce his own projects regarding his unusual but unique American upbringing. As a result of her positive encouragement, he developed Running Dragon. He is currently in the process of developing the feature for Running Dragon. He resides in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
