The Future Cries Beneath Our Soil

Synopsis

Four men live their lives without ever being separated and are surrounded by surrealistic landscape of the Quang Tri Province. Living alongside one another and sharing stories while drinking, smoking cigarettes, and playing the guitar in a house with no doors. Until one day, one of them goes and leaves the others to live the lives they do not want. In the meantime, the border of the Northern and Southern Vietnam reveals war trails.

Credits

Director
  • Pham Thu Hang

    She has worked as a reseacher in VietNam Institute of Culture and Art since
    2004. She later joined HanoiDoclab, a breakthrough documentary and video art center in
    Hanoi where she made several short documentary films . She has since decided to add her
    voice in the small but active and growing community of young independent documentary
    filmmakers in Vietnam. Hang recently obtained her Master’s in Documentary Directing in a
    consortium of three universities in Europe under the DocNomads Joint Masters program in
    Lisbon, Budapest and Brussels. Her concern in filmmaking opens to many themes but
    mainly draws attention to rediscovering Vietnamese culture and the connection between
    the internal world in Vietnam and the world outside, especially in the context of
    contemporary globalization.
