“Journey of Learning and Practice” is the first program marking the cooperation between Varan Vietnam and White Light Cinéhub. In the future, we hope to widely introduce more documentary films produced by Varan Vietnam, along with films from the workshops organized by Ateliers Varan and Varan Vietnam throughout 20 years of operation in Vietnam.

The selection of three films in this program authentically and polyphonically reflects cuts of contemporary life, works that reveal rare perspectives and contribute to shifting public awareness of the documentary film genre.

In addition, the program on November 23rd will also feature a post-screening Q&A session with people behind The unseen studio.
