The documentary film, directed by Bibonne, follows a young French music reporter’s journey to Vietnam as he explores the country’s classical music scene after the passing of his Vietnamese grandmother. With stunning natural imagery, traditional dances and costumes, and the captivating blend of a symphony orchestra with unique ethnic instruments, the film offers a unique perspective on Vietnam’s cultural richness.
For Director Bibonne, the film screening at the festival is a chance to connect with a global audience and showcase Vietnam’s beauty through the universal language of music, uniting people beyond their cultural backgrounds.
This is Bibonne’s first documentary about Vietnam, and he plans to return to the country in October to continue his cultural projects, with a focus on Vietnamese football for his next musical film.
