In celebration of the Vietnamese Arts and Letters Assocaition's (VAALA) 30th anniversary, Viet Film Fest is proud to present this year's virtual summer screening series, "Finding Place, Finding Self". The films of this year's series are united by physical and metaphorical journeys where the subjects find belonging or a deeper understanding of themselves. These journeys address displacement, loss, self-expression, and the harrowing experiences of first-generation Vietnamese refugees.Chronologically, "Finding Place, Finding Self" includes past VFF entries from its 2005 iteration to 2015. This year's short film slate are all previous winners of the Grand Jury Trống Đồng Award for Best Short Film or VFF's Audience Choice Award for Best Short. The shorts are joined, for the first time, by a feature film. Minh Nguyễn-Võ's The Buffalo Boy (Mùa Len Trâu) (2004), a deliberate, stunningly-filmed coming-of-age tale set in far southern Vietnam in the 1940s.
