Fifth Cinema Premiere by Nguyen Trinh Thi
Artist Nguyen Trinh Thi from Nha San Collective will premiere her most recent essay film “Fifth Cinema” at the Elevations Laos | Exhibition, "Depths" and museum premiere at Asia Pacific Triennale of Contemporary Art (APT9), Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (24 NOV 2018 – 28 APR 2019).
With text by Maori filmmaker Barry Barclay (“Celebrating the Fourth Cinema, 2003), Nguyen's film is a hybrid moving on multiple cinematic and topical terrains. The film takes viewer through a narrative of colonialism, indigeneity and cinematic limitations in representation.
