Archives of daily life are simultaneously tangible and fleeting. The seven films in our opening program each unfold a memory palace of the familial, familiar and outré. Mysterious communications and missed opportunities. Objects found and objects fleeting. The unknown and the intimate meld through pasts, presents and futures. .

Bóng Xà Bông (Soapy Faggy)

A gay superhero experiments with his first queer memory while navigating rumours that a “halitosis bomb” is making queerness contagious in Vietnam.

Phạm Nguyễn Anh Tú is a visual artist born and raised in Sài Gòn, Việt Nam. He approaches video making through combinations of animated collages and chroma key compositing to recreate scenes of personal memories, fantasy and inner dialogues. He is interested in using art as a site for experimenting and critically reflecting, to grasp the systems of knowledge that structure our world in order to rethink and reimagine our engagement with the physical world. He is the recipient of the Prince Claus Fund's Seed Award, 9th International Biennial of University Visual Art Award, PULSE Award, Dogma Prize and Ignite Creativity Grant from Goethe Institut. His works have been shown internationally at The British Museum, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, 4th Thai Short Film and Video Festival, Stuttgart Film Winter, Kassel Dokfest, New Mexico Experiments in Cinema International Film Festival.
