Vietnamese Movie Wins TAICCA Prize

The competition is part of the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival that is taking place in the Republic of Korea (RoK) from June 29 to July 7.

The film project directed by Oscar Duong and produced by Hang Trinh was the only Vietnamese representative to clinch the prize in the “It Project” category. This category is for film projects that are in the content development stage.

“Sesame Has Its Soul” tells the story of Vietnamese women who immigrate to the RoK and their hidden pain when the beauty standards in the country are a great burden for Vietnamese – Korean women in particular, as well as globally in general.

At the event, film director Oscar Duong shared that he hopes the project will soon be completed and screened in both Vietnam and foreign countries in the near future.

The call from Nam Giang

Image
In his memory, old Zuong Noonh from Pa Rong village, Ta Bhing commune, Nam Giang district 10 years ago was poor. However, everything has changed since the Japanese Foundation for International Development/Relief (FIDR) came to help the Co Tu restore their traditional brocade weaving. It also provided support to the local people by developing community-based tourism under a project funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). About 10 years ago, only eight women in Ta Bhing Commune knew how to weave brocade. Then, a traditional brocade weaving cooperative was set up with 40 members. The products are diverse with many beautiful pieces that are of cultural value to foreign tourists. Young Co Tu girls welcome visitors to Pa Xua village.
