Director: Carol Morley
Year of production: 2011
Duration: 95’
Would anyone miss you? Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn’t discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life– not even a photograph. Interweaving interviews with imagined scenes from Joyce’s life, Dreams of a Life is an imaginative, powerful, multilayered quest, and is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait of London in the eighties—the City, music, and race. It is a film about urban lives, contemporary life, and how, like Joyce, we are all different things to different people. It is about how little we may ever know each other, but nevertheless, how much we can love.
Free entrance.

Opera “Carmen”
Originated from the novel by Prosper Mérimée, the opera Carmen was completed in the autumn of 1874. It was the last work of Georges Bizet, and also is the most popular opera on the stage in the world until now. Bizet, through his music, told us a tragic story behind brightness, and depicted the optimistic, straightforward but wild personality of a Gipsy girl, Carmen. The opera discloses the bald-faced passions, describes the eternal confrontation between men and women, shows the ruthless but beautiful life, and proves the perpetual co-existence between love and death.
Performers:
Carmen : Vanh Khuyen
Don José: Thanh Binh, Anh Vu
Escamillo: Phan Duc, Manh Dung
Micaela: Thang Long
Zuniga: Huy Duc
Morales: Kieu Tham

Tired of replying open letters in a magazine office, the columnist and his secretary grab the need of a shy guy who wants to find a soul mate, and decide to establish an unusual business: offering the service of a girl who visits households at night to sing a lullaby. The team was charmed by graceful Clémentine and so do people who approach her, including an insomniac serial killer….

Hoa Sen University
93 Cao Thang Str, Ward 3, Dist 3, HCMC
For the sixth time, EUNIC, the network of the European cultural institutes and embassies, and the National Film Studio for Documentary and Science Film Vietnam, will present European and South East Asian films. After each film from Vietnam there will follow a film from Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Poland, Sweden or Spain. Standing in dialogue, the differences in both the cinematic language and the topics become clear, but foremost the common ground: The love of understanding the world through images. The festival takes place in Hanoi from 4 to 12 June and in Ho Chi Minh City from 21 to 29 June.
In the much acclaimed German contribution “Forget me Not” by David Sieveking a widespread disease sets the framework: Alzheimer’s. As the filmmaker’s mother suffers from it, the whole family is challenged. Although the story seems hard, Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother with humour and astonishing candor. During the screening in Hanoi on 4 June, the German cutter Catrin Vogt will be present and talk about the film.
In the context of the documentary film festival the Goethe-Institute furthermore invites to two workshops: One workshop will gather filmmakers from several South East Asian countries with the Finnish director Iikka Vehkalahti. Some of those filmmakers will also present their films during the film festival. The second workshop for young Vietnamese filmmakers from Hanoi takes place at the Hanoi DOCLAB under the direction of Catrin Vogt. The DOCLAB is a documentary film center at the Goethe-Institut. By providing professional equipment and workshops, it aims to promote and support the still young documentary film scene in Hanoi. On 6 June Catrin Vogt will give a talk on ‘Dramaturgical Editing of Documentary Films’ which will be open for all interested professionals.
Free entrance to all screenings.
Screening of “For June” (Dành cho tháng sáu) and Live Set “Ngọt”
Mon 02 Jun 2014, 7.30 pm
Hầm Hành
170 Doi Can Str, Hanoi
THE ONION CELLAR can’t wait to help you exorcise the ghosts of student days (or if you’re still a student this is gonna be a necessary reminder (enjoy it)).
A perfect Onion Cellar-ish combination of cinema and music: a rare screening of Vietnamese independent film DÀNH CHO THÁNG SÁU (FOR JUNE) – featuring a Q&A session with director Nguyễn Hữu Tuấn.
Plus a pre-film live set from NGỌT – one of the most exciting (young) Vietnamese groups these days.
DÀNH CHO THÁNG SÁU (FOR JUNE) (2012)
Director: Nguyễn Hữu Tuấn
81 mins
Languages: Vietnamese, with English subtitles
The first love and the last match.
Close friends Kien, Hoang and Minh’s perfect summer break is threatened when Kien suddenly leaves for his home village, abandoning his high school basketball team days before they face their most challenging game in an important competition. Realising that Kien’s unrequited love for Minh drove him away, Hoang and Minh go search for Kien in an attempt to save their friendship and the game.
NGỌT
Little streams do make big rivers.
NGỌT is an exciting trio of university students who write and perform breezy intimate songs that can sometimes pass for lullabies. Sounding little (if any) similar to their peers in the local rock/folk scene, the band exists in a bedroom of their own – though quite possibly one would find in this room: a copy of Pink Floyd’s Animals, the full Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs box-set, The Microphones’ The Glow Pt. 2, and perhaps a portrait of Lou Reed hanging somewhere on the wall. Or, you know, like that scene in Tran Anh Hung’s At the Height of Summer
Fronted by singer/guitarist Vu Dinh Trong Thang who croons surprisingly charming wisdoms (with just a tiny hint of bittersweet existentialism) over quirky instrumentation partly courtesy of guitarist Tuan Tran and drummer Nam Anh, NGỌT is truly a band you do not come across everyday. It all seems so effortless it feels like the music waltzs itself into existence, and one can hardly wait to see what the immediate future holds for this young promising group. The Onion Cellar is super chuffed to have them perform at Hầm Hành.
Tickets: VND 20,000 at doors.

You are invited to the screening of German Film “Forget me not” at the Opening of European Documentary Film Festival 2014.
For the screening on the opening night of the European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival in Hanoi, the editor Catrin Vogt will be present and talk about “Vergiss mein nicht”.
In Forget me not, David Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother, who, like millions of others, is suffering from Alzheimer’s. David’s parents were active in the student movement of the 1960s and led an “open relationship”, which is now being tested in a dramatic way through his mother’s illness. The changes taking place within her forces the family to face its own conflicts and even teaches them how to deal with these conflicts more tenderly, bringing them all closer together. With humor and astonishing candor, David Sieveking’s family chronicle is characterized by unaffected participation and loving affection, where it is the human at the centre of the story, not the illness.

Screening of Documentary “Born into Brothels”
Sun 01 Jun 2014, 6 pm
DOCLAB
Goethe-Institut Hanoi
56-58 Nguyễn Thái Học
Ba Đình, Hà Nội
Hanoi DOCLAB cordially invites you to the screening of the “Born into Brothels” (2004) by Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman. This film won Oscar 2004 for Best Documentary Feature and Audien Award in Sundance Film Festival.
“Born Into Brothels” is a documentary about the inspiring non-profit foundation Kids With Cameras, which teaches photography skills to children in marginalized communities. In 1998, New York-based photographer Zana Briski started photographing prostitutes in the red-light district of Calcutta. She eventually developed a relationship with their children, who were fascinated by her equipment.
After several years of learning in workshops with Briski, the kids created their own photographs with point-and-shoot 35 mm cameras. Their images capture the intimacy and color of everyday life in the overpopulated sections of Calcu . Proceeds from the sale of the children’s photographs go to fund their future education.
The photography is splendid, rich in color and subject matter, and the video camera following Briski through the squalid red light district, pausing to hear abusive mothers and drugged fathers deny their children passage into a better life, hearing the wisdom of the elders who desire something more for these children, captures a world few know. This is a touching film without being maudlin, beautiful without ignoring reality. Highly Recommended.”
Duration: 85 minutes
Language: The film is in English with Vietnamese subtitle
Free Entrance.

Lucy’s Dream

This ongoing exhibition includes Wearable Art Pieces depicting the Dong-Ho (Đông Hồ) Painting culture of Vietnam, World Fairy Tales, and Surreal Photographic Sceneries.
This is the story of how Lucy’s Dream came to life.
I was just another girl working full-time for a corporation when suddenly it dawned on me that my purpose in life was to create truly original made-in-Vietnam East-meets-West style wearable art.
By Mid-2012, I had gathered a great team, composed of young Vietnamese artists who wanted to make a difference in the fashion & lifestyle scene of Vietnam. Lucy’s Dream was born in December 2012.
We hand-paint, digitally trace and print our own designs on fabrics, and manufacture unique and whimsical lifestyle products out of these self-designed fabrics.
For 2 years of constant effort, we have grown Lucy’s Dream from an online platform at www.lucysdream.net to two (02) brick-and-mortar stores in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Director: Carol Morley
Year of production: 2011
Duration: 95’
Would anyone miss you? Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn’t discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports offered few details of her life– not even a photograph. Interweaving interviews with imagined scenes from Joyce’s life, Dreams of a Life is an imaginative, powerful, multilayered quest, and is not only a portrait of Joyce but a portrait of London in the eighties—the City, music, and race. It is a film about urban lives, contemporary life, and how, like Joyce, we are all different things to different people. It is about how little we may ever know each other, but nevertheless, how much we can love.
Free entrance.

Opera “Carmen”
Originated from the novel by Prosper Mérimée, the opera Carmen was completed in the autumn of 1874. It was the last work of Georges Bizet, and also is the most popular opera on the stage in the world until now. Bizet, through his music, told us a tragic story behind brightness, and depicted the optimistic, straightforward but wild personality of a Gipsy girl, Carmen. The opera discloses the bald-faced passions, describes the eternal confrontation between men and women, shows the ruthless but beautiful life, and proves the perpetual co-existence between love and death.
Performers:
Carmen : Vanh Khuyen
Don José: Thanh Binh, Anh Vu
Escamillo: Phan Duc, Manh Dung
Micaela: Thang Long
Zuniga: Huy Duc
Morales: Kieu Tham

Tired of replying open letters in a magazine office, the columnist and his secretary grab the need of a shy guy who wants to find a soul mate, and decide to establish an unusual business: offering the service of a girl who visits households at night to sing a lullaby. The team was charmed by graceful Clémentine and so do people who approach her, including an insomniac serial killer….

Hoa Sen University
93 Cao Thang Str, Ward 3, Dist 3, HCMC
For the sixth time, EUNIC, the network of the European cultural institutes and embassies, and the National Film Studio for Documentary and Science Film Vietnam, will present European and South East Asian films. After each film from Vietnam there will follow a film from Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Poland, Sweden or Spain. Standing in dialogue, the differences in both the cinematic language and the topics become clear, but foremost the common ground: The love of understanding the world through images. The festival takes place in Hanoi from 4 to 12 June and in Ho Chi Minh City from 21 to 29 June.
In the much acclaimed German contribution “Forget me Not” by David Sieveking a widespread disease sets the framework: Alzheimer’s. As the filmmaker’s mother suffers from it, the whole family is challenged. Although the story seems hard, Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother with humour and astonishing candor. During the screening in Hanoi on 4 June, the German cutter Catrin Vogt will be present and talk about the film.
In the context of the documentary film festival the Goethe-Institute furthermore invites to two workshops: One workshop will gather filmmakers from several South East Asian countries with the Finnish director Iikka Vehkalahti. Some of those filmmakers will also present their films during the film festival. The second workshop for young Vietnamese filmmakers from Hanoi takes place at the Hanoi DOCLAB under the direction of Catrin Vogt. The DOCLAB is a documentary film center at the Goethe-Institut. By providing professional equipment and workshops, it aims to promote and support the still young documentary film scene in Hanoi. On 6 June Catrin Vogt will give a talk on ‘Dramaturgical Editing of Documentary Films’ which will be open for all interested professionals.
Free entrance to all screenings.
Screening of “For June” (Dành cho tháng sáu) and Live Set “Ngọt”
Mon 02 Jun 2014, 7.30 pm
Hầm Hành
170 Doi Can Str, Hanoi
THE ONION CELLAR can’t wait to help you exorcise the ghosts of student days (or if you’re still a student this is gonna be a necessary reminder (enjoy it)).
A perfect Onion Cellar-ish combination of cinema and music: a rare screening of Vietnamese independent film DÀNH CHO THÁNG SÁU (FOR JUNE) – featuring a Q&A session with director Nguyễn Hữu Tuấn.
Plus a pre-film live set from NGỌT – one of the most exciting (young) Vietnamese groups these days.
DÀNH CHO THÁNG SÁU (FOR JUNE) (2012)
Director: Nguyễn Hữu Tuấn
81 mins
Languages: Vietnamese, with English subtitles
The first love and the last match.
Close friends Kien, Hoang and Minh’s perfect summer break is threatened when Kien suddenly leaves for his home village, abandoning his high school basketball team days before they face their most challenging game in an important competition. Realising that Kien’s unrequited love for Minh drove him away, Hoang and Minh go search for Kien in an attempt to save their friendship and the game.
NGỌT
Little streams do make big rivers.
NGỌT is an exciting trio of university students who write and perform breezy intimate songs that can sometimes pass for lullabies. Sounding little (if any) similar to their peers in the local rock/folk scene, the band exists in a bedroom of their own – though quite possibly one would find in this room: a copy of Pink Floyd’s Animals, the full Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs box-set, The Microphones’ The Glow Pt. 2, and perhaps a portrait of Lou Reed hanging somewhere on the wall. Or, you know, like that scene in Tran Anh Hung’s At the Height of Summer
Fronted by singer/guitarist Vu Dinh Trong Thang who croons surprisingly charming wisdoms (with just a tiny hint of bittersweet existentialism) over quirky instrumentation partly courtesy of guitarist Tuan Tran and drummer Nam Anh, NGỌT is truly a band you do not come across everyday. It all seems so effortless it feels like the music waltzs itself into existence, and one can hardly wait to see what the immediate future holds for this young promising group. The Onion Cellar is super chuffed to have them perform at Hầm Hành.
Tickets: VND 20,000 at doors.

You are invited to the screening of German Film “Forget me not” at the Opening of European Documentary Film Festival 2014.
For the screening on the opening night of the European-Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival in Hanoi, the editor Catrin Vogt will be present and talk about “Vergiss mein nicht”.
In Forget me not, David Sieveking portrays the domestic care of his mother, who, like millions of others, is suffering from Alzheimer’s. David’s parents were active in the student movement of the 1960s and led an “open relationship”, which is now being tested in a dramatic way through his mother’s illness. The changes taking place within her forces the family to face its own conflicts and even teaches them how to deal with these conflicts more tenderly, bringing them all closer together. With humor and astonishing candor, David Sieveking’s family chronicle is characterized by unaffected participation and loving affection, where it is the human at the centre of the story, not the illness.

Screening of Documentary “Born into Brothels”
Sun 01 Jun 2014, 6 pm
DOCLAB
Goethe-Institut Hanoi
56-58 Nguyễn Thái Học
Ba Đình, Hà Nội
Hanoi DOCLAB cordially invites you to the screening of the “Born into Brothels” (2004) by Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman. This film won Oscar 2004 for Best Documentary Feature and Audien Award in Sundance Film Festival.
“Born Into Brothels” is a documentary about the inspiring non-profit foundation Kids With Cameras, which teaches photography skills to children in marginalized communities. In 1998, New York-based photographer Zana Briski started photographing prostitutes in the red-light district of Calcutta. She eventually developed a relationship with their children, who were fascinated by her equipment.
After several years of learning in workshops with Briski, the kids created their own photographs with point-and-shoot 35 mm cameras. Their images capture the intimacy and color of everyday life in the overpopulated sections of Calcu . Proceeds from the sale of the children’s photographs go to fund their future education.
The photography is splendid, rich in color and subject matter, and the video camera following Briski through the squalid red light district, pausing to hear abusive mothers and drugged fathers deny their children passage into a better life, hearing the wisdom of the elders who desire something more for these children, captures a world few know. This is a touching film without being maudlin, beautiful without ignoring reality. Highly Recommended.”
Duration: 85 minutes
Language: The film is in English with Vietnamese subtitle
Free Entrance.
