2004 - Horror - Vietnam

As an aspiring writer, LOC (Tuan Cuong) seeks solitude in an abandoned piece of property to complete his latest piece of writing. Loc is only able to work at night, which also happens to be the time when the house reveals its terribly dark secret. With the success of his writing, Loc purchases the property and makes it his home. Consumed by his obsessions, Loc falls into a temporary state of insanity. A blooming companionship develops between Loc and a young nurse named LINH (Kathleen Luong). Inspiring him to write again, she ultimately becomes his wife. All seems well, until one day, Linh's disturbing past comes back to haunt her. Loc rents out a portion of the house in his elder years. His tenant is a traveling fortune-teller, LAN (Catherine Thuy Ai). Through her perspective, the story comes full circle when she uncovers the summation of the troubled history contained within the house.

Three Seasons

(108 min)

1999 - Drama - Vietnam

In the early hours of the New Vietnam, four strangers in Saigon find themselves suddenly expatriates in their own country, passed over by "improvements" of Western progress. As the hauntingly beautiful old city of Saigon fades into the shadows of neon lights, Coca Cola signs, plastic lotus flowers and other symbols of Western invasion, these character's paths begin to cross. Stories merge to paint a portrait of a country in transition, the last moments of a culture which, through a second invasion by its former enemy, will never be the same again: Kien An (Ngoc Hiep Nguyen) is a living memory of the old ways living life seemingly unchanged by the passage of time; Lan (Diep Bui) has reinvented herself as someone who can survive in the cold-hearted capitalist world; Hai (Don Doung) bridges the two worlds on his cyclo; James Hager (Harvey Keitel) is a reminder of the country's ravaged past; and young Woody is a symbol of its future.
