IMPORTANT TICKETING INFORMATION BELOW

Tran Anh Hung reached international acclaim with his debut feature, The Scent of Green Papaya, in 1993. The film, which won the Camera d’Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival, went on to garner an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film that same year, making it the first Vietnamese film ever to be nominated for an Academy Award. Considered to be at the forefront in contemporary Vietnamese cinema, his later works continued to impress critics and festival audiences worldwide. With his abstract storytelling and dreamy visual style, Tran Anh Hung’s diverse filmography continues to evolve, challenging his audiences with its nuanced sensuality in its depictions of human relationships. Discover Tran Anh Hung’s influences, the inspiration behind his imageries and impressions, and hopes for Vietnamese cinema.

Tran Anh Hung was born in Central Vietnam in 1962. He migrated to France with his family at the age of 12 during the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. In France, Tran studied at the prestigious film school, Louis Lumière College, where he made two well-received short films. Backed by French production company, Lazennec Productions, he hit his big break with his first film, The Scent of Green Papaya. Following its success, Tran’s second film Cyclo, won him the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1995, making him one of the youngest filmmakers to be honored at the festival at the age of 33. His most recent work, the romantic historical drama, Eternity, is his first feature in French.
