Documentary film about handicrafts airs Saturday
A documentary film on Vietnam’s different handicrafts directed by Frenchman Patrick Moreau will be presented to the public in Hanoi this Saturday.
"I want to show in my film, different life aspects of people in the North of Vietnam: its artists, artisans and handicrafts. I chose the lacquer as the central theme of the film, which allows audiences to discover the materials that an artist needs to create lacquer works, including lacquer resin, gold leaves and do paper," said Patrick.
The 42-minute film, entitled L’Or du Dragon (Gold of the Dragon) will be presented at 6.30pm, at Cafe des Arts, located at 11B Bao Khanh Lane. The film is also expected to be presented at l’Espace in September or October. It will also be shown to the public in various locations including France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Quebec through the conference’s association, "Connaissances du Monde" (World Knowledge).
