We cordially invite you to the Goethe-Institut for a doubtlessly remarkable concert by Trio Trinity with Nguyen My Huong (Violin), Nguyen Hong Anh (Violoncello) and Tranh Thai Linh (Piano). During numerous concerts, Trio Trinity has delighted the audiences at Goethe-Institut: brilliant interplay and attractive musical programs, ranging from classical chamber music to 20th century pieces, distinguish the trio.
The compositions of Maurice Ravel and Joaquín Turina, two main representatives of impressionism, might be best described by “Sound and Colour Art”: acoustic patterns that musically evoke a certain atmosphere. In Dmitri Shostakovichs piece by contrast, the listener experiences the plainness and clarity of late 20th century neo-classicism.

Trio for piano, violin and cello
1. Modéré
2. Pantoum : Assez vif

“I understand that each individual is a knot to create links of family, clan, bounding relationships as a network. Together they become the so-called community, the nation, the country. By studying an individual, and establishing a multi-dimensional genealogical tree made of images and stories from time to time, I want to query the history of the formation of community, the way that they developed or changed, and the outlook of this community about itself”.

His body of work is an interlinking mix of woodcut prints and intricate pen and ink illustrations. With the former he entwines images into the grain of the wood, letting the natural patterns inform and dictate the work in progress; with the latter he manipulates form to create labyrinthine illustrations that unravel and reveal the more they are scrutinized.

Da Nang: Sun 19 May 2013, 7.30 pm
Trung Vuong Theatre
35 Phan Chau Trinh, Da Nang
The concert is a part of the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Australia.
Elixir is a trio of friends and musicians — multi-platinum selling songstress Katie Noonan, outstanding saxophonist Zac Hurren and the highly-regarded jazz guitarist Stephen Magnusson, who joined the group in 2005. Each artist brings to the project an individual style and potency. The result is a sublime blend of lyrical, improvised folk and jazz-inspired music.
Elixir’s self-titled first album became a top 20 bestseller upon its release in 2003, and their long-awaited second album “First Seed Ripening” debuted at #1 on the ARIA Jazz charts, then went on to take out the 2011 ARIA Award (Jazz category).
Katie Noonan’s technical mastery and pure voice makes her one of Australia’s most versatile and beloved vocalists. A mother, singer, producer, songwriter, pianist and business woman, this 4 x ARIA Award winning and 6 x platinum selling songstress first received widespread praise as the angel-voiced songstress of indiepop band George and has since taken audiences on sublime excursions through Jazz, Pop and Classical music.

Vietnamese cinema lovers from all walks of life are again offered a unique chance to take a cinematic trip around Europe on screen through a rich line-up of films by European directors at the 14th edition of the European Film Festival (EFF).
Following the great success of the festival in Danang last year, this year for the second time the EFF is brought to the central city’s audiences from17 to 26 May 2013. The festival will be opened in Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi on 15 and 16 May 2013 respectively.
EFF2013 showcases Europe’s cultural diversity, portrayed in 16 films from 14 different EU Member States. Many genres will be represented throughout the festival, including children’s animated films, drama, romance, comedy and documentary. Most films screened in the festival are recent and have gained growing acclaim, notably by being selected in international film festivals and winning awards all over the world. One of the remarkable features of this year’s festival is the presence of the producer of Swedish film “Eat Sleep Die” at its first screening, which will mark the opening of the festival in Hanoi on 16 May.
Held for the first time in 2000, by the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, the Embassies of EU Member States and the European Cultural Institutes, the European Film Festival is recognised as one of the most successful multi-cultural events in Vietnam. It has become an established and credible avenue to bring new and captivating aspects of European culture to the attraction of Vietnamese people, by showcasing films that would otherwise not be shown in Vietnamese commercial cinemas.
“The silver screen world has no borders. No passports or visas are required to take you from one country to another. Nor does it take much, other than setting yourself in a theatre with a box of popcorn, to experience life from the eyes of a child or a traveller. Cinema has successfully shared diverse cultures, people, histories and perspectives to audiences from across the globe for over 100 years. As the birthplace of cinematography and home to a number of prestigious international film festivals, Europe is renowned for its cinema heritage. This year again we are proud to introduce this firework of European cultural diversity and creativity to Vietnamese audiences. The films showcased in this festival may belong to a specific country, but together they are representative of Europe’s common cultural heritage”, said H.E.Dr Franz Jessen, Ambassador – Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam.
This cinematic event is part of a broader series of “Europe Days 2013” events clustered around Europe Day (9 May), a cycle which since its inception in 2004 has gained a high profile in the cultural life of Vietnamese people.
The European Film Festival 2013 will take place at:

The Belgium film “The Fairy” will open the European Film Festival on Thursday evening, 15th of May, in Ho Chi Minh City. This year, European Union member states will be presenting films in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City until 26 th May.
Within the framework of the European Film festival 2013 the Goethe-Institut will show “Vincent Wants to Sea” in German language with Vietnamese and English subtitles. Vincent Wants to Sea was awarded, among other prizes, with the German Film Prizes 2011 for Best Film and Best Actor.
The death of his mother pulls Vincent, who suffers from Tourette-Syndrome, out of his sheltered and isolated world and confronts him with the reality of a nursing home. He later escapes with two fellow patients — an anorexic named Marie and the obsessive-compulsive Alexander. His mission is simple. He wants to bury his mother’s ashes in the seas off Italy, as was her dying wish. But to get there he and his friends have to steal their doctor’s car. If caught, it could all be quite an embarassment for Vincent’s politician father. For the lovable but odd trio the escape becomes the starting point for an independent life. The dynamic story manhandles the balancing act between a touching medical story and an entertaining road movie.
All tickets are free of charge and can be picked up from 9 May 2013 for screenings in Ho Chi Minh city and from 10 May for screenings in Hanoi and Danang at the following addresses:

Le Do Cinema
The European Film Festival “Europe on screen” will present this year feature and animated films from fourteen European Union Member States.
Finland will present Aki Kaurismäki’s film “Le Havre”. The film premiered in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it received the FIPRESCI Prize.
Marcel Marx, a former author and a well-known Bohemian, has retreated into a voluntary exile in the port city of Le Havre, where he feels he has reached a closer rapport with the people serving them in the occupation of the honourable, but not too profitable, of a shoe-shiner. He has buried his dreams of a literary breakthrough and lives happily within the triangle of his favourite bar, his work, and his wife Arletty, when fate suddenly throws in his path an underage immigrant refugee from the darkest Africa.
As Arletty at the same time gets seriously ill and is bedridden, Marcel once more has to rise against the cold wall of human indifference with his only weapon of innate optimism and the unwavering solidarity of the people of his quartier, but against him stands the whole blind machinery of the Western constitutionally governed state, this time represented by the dragnet of the police, moment by moment drawing closer around the refugee boy.
It’s time for Marcel to polish his shoes and reveal his teeth.
All tickets are free of charge and can be picked up from 9 May 2013 for screenings in Ho Chi Minh city and from 10 May for screenings in Hanoi and Danang at the following addresses:

Sound Affect with VNTG
Thu 16 May 2013, 8.30 pm
ATK
73a Mai Hac De, Hanoi
Monthly live music showcase continues, with classical composer and sound artist Vu Nhat Tan being joined by multi-instrumentalist Nguyen Van Thao.
Thao is often referred to as a “one man band” for his ability to improvise across a variety of instruments. He’ll be adding a modern rock-oriented interpretation of the Dan Bau and Dan Nguyet to Tan’s electronic compositions. These two instruments are both classics of traditional Vietnamese music. The Dan Bau, or “Vietnamese Monochord” – perhaps Vietnam’s most famous instrument – needs little introduction, but the Dan Nguyet, or “Moon Lute” is less widely known. Featuring just two relatively slack strings and low frets, the guitar like instrument relies on pushing the strings to achieve bending notes.
Sound Affect is a monthly live music night featuring Vietnamese musicians and hosted by Vu Nhat Tan. Tan is one of the capital’s best known classical composers, noise musicians and sound artists.
Co-organized: The ATK; Hanoi To Go; Hanoi Grapevine
