About the Director:
Dương Diệu Linh (1990) is a Vietnamese filmmaker who takes special interest in the unconventional depiction of sad, angsty and naggy middle-aged women. Her series of shorts, which seamlessly blend hyper-realistic, slice-of-life subject matters with magical realism elements deeply rooted in Southeast Asian mythology and superstitions, have been competing and winning awards at prestigious film festivals around the world. Linh previously attended Berlinale Talents in 2020, Asian Film Academy in 2016, Locarno Summer Academy and Bucheon Fantastic Film School in 2015. Her debut feature, Don’t Cry, Butterfly, participated in Full Circle Lab, Less Is More, Locarno Open Doors Hub, Attagirl, and most recently the Hong Kong-Asia Financing Forum (HAF) where it won both the Udine Focus Asia and Wouter Barendrecht awards. The film is also supported by the Singapore Film Commision, Purin Pictures and Visions Sud Est.
