Made with the support of NTU CCA Residencies and Asia Culture Center, Gwangju.
Invoking the imagination of water as a conduit to spiritual realms, Lêna Bùi’s film poem contemplates reincarnation in a mesmerising mosaic of sounds, languages, and images taken from different places and time periods. The film opens and ends with water, passing through the underworld where boundaries between nations, species, and eras become porous. In this radically open state, we are free to flow between our own memories and those of the universal.
— Text by Nguyen Dinh Ton Nu, taken from Echoes, Embers a Nhu Trang Trong Dem x Asian Film Archive film program
