What does it mean to “look” cross-culturally? This film follows up on this question by creating a visual journey through Vietnam. Instead of following the established patterns of the classic documentary, Takesue creates an experimental experience that challenges the audience and invites us to reflect on what it means to “truly see another culture”. Within this beautiful visual travelogue, questions of desire, projection, and communication begin to appear, that are embedded in this idea of the cross-cultural encounter.
As part of the DocYard film series, 95 AND 6 TO GO is screening at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts at 7:00 pm on Monday, March 12.
Director Kimi Takesue will be in attendance for a Q&A with the audience after the film.
