WINNER at Hot Docs 2013 and will be screened at Antenna is Ba Noi. The director Khoa Lê is a guest of the festival. The Screening will be followed by a Q&A. Bà Nôi (Grandma) is director Khoa Lê’s ethereal exploration of his past and unknown future. Lê’s 93 year-old bà nôi is still very much the matriarch. Funny, forgetful and forthright, she is continually telling Lê to “Marry before I die”. Vietnamese-born and Canadian-raised Lê returns to Vietnam, on a quest for identity. This audio-visual treasure, almost dreamlike at times, immerses us into the world of Vietnam’s New Year celebrations. Visualizing the rituals, superstitions and prophecies, this family portrait poetically conjures questions about belonging, cultural identity and the family ties that help to shape us all into who we are and what we become.
