Amid the pressures of globalisation, nature and minority languages are in steep decline. In rural Vietnam, an elderly woman from the Rục community teaches her great-grandson to value both. Directors Graux and Trương capture this exchange in a tactile, deeply immersive style, evoking a vivid sense of place and a world already slipping from view. A meditative 16mm gem, recalling Samsara (2023).

'Asian Movie Night (AMN) is a diasporic film platform in the Netherlands. Established as a direct response to the systematic lack of Asian representation in the Dutch cultural scene, AMN brings in different narratives and aesthetics to a broad audience through collaboration with various cultural venues. With an interdisciplinary approach that integrates film, visual art, design, and conversations, AMN aims to challenge the notion of 'Asianness' by transcending nation-state borders and resisting fixed identities.
