Film week celebrates War Invalids and Martyrs Day
On August 24, FVH Film Night organized by Friends of Vietnam Heritage will present Nha Tien Tri (The Prophecy), a film directed by director Vuong Duc.
Produced in 2015, The Prophecy is one of Duc’s most successful films. Duc is also director of the Viet Nam Feature Films Studio (VFS). He made this film in collaboration with screenwriter and poet, Hoang Nhuan Cam.
The film recounts President Ho Chi Minh’s time at the Viet Bac Resistance War Base in Northern Viet Nam during the revolutionary struggle against French colonists from 1947 to 1950.
Despite the context of war, the film does not use fierce fighting scenes, exploding landmines and so on to describe the horrors of the battlefield. Instead, the war unfolds with particularly humanistic and open perspectives.
The movie, with English subtitles, will be screened at 7.30pm. Venue: VFS, 4 Thuy Khue Street, Tay Ho District. Donation: VND150,000. Limit: 50 people.

Photo Exhibition “Rudel 2” by Sven Marquardt
Exhibition “Rudel 2” showcases photo portraits of musicians at Ostgut Booking – an artist residence for DJs in Berlin – taken by photographer Sven Marquardt from 2007 to 2017.
Sven Marquardt’s work combines formal severity and clear imagery with bleak impermanence. His photos impress us through interaction of ease, severity and the dramatic art of monochrome contrasting.
The ever-changing metropolis of Berlin has shaped Marquardt’s sensibility for striking characters, his sense for the unusual in humanity and his artistic subject.
Opening: Tue 22 Aug 2017, 6 pm
Exhibition: 23 Aug – 31 Oct 2017
