A War in Pictures

a war in pictures

A WAR IN PICTURES is a series of private discussion sessions based on themes about the 2nd Indochina War. By introducing feature films, short films and series about the War from multiple international filmmakers, which take place in various eras during and after the War, we hope to provide different lenses for the audience to approach the diverse perspectives, and to facilitate dialogue while encouraging further multidisciplinary research about the War.
