Q&A Screening Event with Bob Nguyen ACS of his Milli award-winning film “Ky Nam Inn”. Wednesday August 26th, 6:30pm at Piccadilly cinema.

Set in 1980s Saigon, a city still reeling from war while inching toward renewal, the film introduces us to Khang (Lien Binh Phat). A young translator working for the new regime, Khang moves into a crowded collective housing block, it’s there that he encounters Ky Nam (Do Thi Hai Yen), a reserved widow whose grief seems to seep into every gesture.

Shot on 35mm, the film is a visual treat, sumptuous and everlasting. Watch the film and then ask the Cinematographer in person how he created such work.
