about a documentary film of making LGBT exhibition


I am not the filmmaker or camera person in this film. I am one of the characters. I did not even know anything about filmmaking at that time. The camera person is a Swedish woman whose son is Vietnamese. She took a vacation to Vietnam with her son and decided to volunteer while we were making the LGBT exhibition- a community-based exhibition with the participant of people from 3 local NGOs in Vietnam who had been working with LGBT communities, staff from several museums in Vietnam, and few people from Sweden including the main players from the Unstraight Museum and sponsored by the Swedish Institute, It was 2015, a turning point in my career. I have left the NGO and came back to volunteer as a curator. I did not even know the term but I was chosen because I collected almost all the materials used in this exhibition. This participation also led me to collaborate with the Unstraight Museum more and travel to Serbia, Saint Petersburg, Sweden, Cambodia, and Myanmar. The two latter countries were the ones I spent more time collecting materials and being involved in making the exhibitions.

The footage and interviews were conducted by an amateur who passed the materials to Hung, an editor who did not know us in person. He edited it and wanted to give it to me so I could show the film anywhere it might be helpful. it is also a document of what had been done not so long ago but it felt like so long time has passed.
