Discussion: The film "Tunnels" and the re-enactment of war memories in contemporary cinema

War, with all its tragic echoes, has become an indelible part of the nation's history. War cinema, or any cinema about collective memories, has never been an easy experience for both viewers and filmmakers.
Because cinema is not only a way to record events, but also continuously reflect on the experiences of war. At each moment, war cinema has a different attitude. Not only carrying epic echoes, contemporary Vietnamese cinema exploits war from many perspectives, delving into ontological experiences, dialogue with collective memories and painful post-war thoughts. It is this change in approach that has created a special depth for the re-presentation of war memories in contemporary cinema.
With the narrative style and aesthetics of humility, director Bui Thac Chuyen has created a calm, undramatic, unprovocative film about sacrifice, about the cruelty of war, about a world of underground tunnels that cannot see the sun, but the people inside, lying there, find for themselves small suns, to hope for and remember, to never forget in their memories and those of future generations.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country on April 30, 1975 and the release of the film "Tunnels", the Department of Art Studies (Faculty of Literature) and the Union of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities organized a discussion and exchange event on the film "Tunnels" and the re-enactment of war memories in contemporary cinema. The event aims to create conditions for lecturers, trainees and students of the Faculty (especially students of K69 Cinema and Popular Arts) to learn about cinema with the theme of war and to exchange and talk with one of the most creative directors of contemporary Vietnamese cinema.
