Two ballet dancers Cao Chi Thanh and Pham Ngoc Thanh will attend the Burgundy International Video Dance Festival at Le Breuil, France, to feature the movie Dream in Hanoi.
The movie was directed by Gerald Herman who is founder of the Hanoi Cinematheque.
The artists attend the festival to take part in a Q&A session about the film, ballet in Vietnam and more.
Dream in Hanoi tells a story about how a young boy’s dream of dancing ballet comes true in a most unexpected way.
Thanh is already known to European audiences for his guest appearances in Sweden and at the Prague International Dance Festival.
In Helsinki he was awarded the Kirsti Pakkaanen prize at the International Ballet Competition. Despite a range of international invitations, Thanh prefers to dance in his hometown of Hanoi.
He has played a diverse selection of roles in ballets such as Don Quixote, Giselle and La Sylphide, but he also works with choreorgraphers in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam. During the festival screening of Dream in Hanoi, Thanh and his colleague will be on hand to discuss dance in Vietnam, the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet and its school.
The movie has also been shown at the Miami Short Film Festival, Lahore International Children’s Film Festival, Los Angeles Family Film Festival (nomination for Best Foreign Short Film). Sacramento International Film Festival, and Singapore International Film Festival.
It will be screened at the Medaitheque of Le Creusot, Bourgogne, at 10 am on Saturday./.
