Truong Minh Quy: Into the Forest
(In dialogue with Jennifer Teo)
A prominent voice from South Vietnam, Truong Minh Quy has made a
series of short films and is now completing his first feature film, The City
of Mirrors. Constantly dealing with his country’s and his own personal
histories, and the disjuncture between urban and rural space, Truong’s films
display an intimate relationship with landscapes outside the city, from
mountains to dense forests, the space where he invests his desire and
rumination of things past and future. Joined by Jennifer Teo from Post-Museum
who has mounted a series of community and art projects in Bukit Brown, both
guests will discuss what it means and what we could find when we enter a
forest. Short Film Screening: Someone is Going to Forest (Dir: Truong
