FORGETTING VIETNAM
The newest title from influential feminist theorist and filmmaker
Trinh T. Minh-ha
(SURNAME VIET GIVEN NAME NAM),
FORGETTING VIETNAM
is a
lyrical film essay commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of the war. T
he film draws inspiration from an ancient myth that Vietnam was created by a fight between two dragons whose interwined bodies fell into the South China Sea and formed the country's curving S-shaped coastline. This legend informs every aspect of Vietnamese culture. In
FORGETTING VIETNAM
, images of contemporary life unfold as a dialogue between land and water - two spaces that form the term "country." F
ragments of text and song evoke traces of trauma of international proportions. The third space is one of historical and cultural re-memory in which insight from local inhabitants, immigrants, and veterans from an extremely divisive war remember yesterday's stories, and comment on today's events.
