Unfamiliar stories from across Vietnam are brought to the screen in Esther Johnson's evocative Dust & Metal.
Through a vibrant montage of archive film and newly shot footage, all set to an original score by Vietnamese electronic artist Xo Xinh, the film presents stories of ‘freedom’ in Vietnam, past and present.
Stepping away from Hollywood’s portrayals of the American/Vietnam War, Dust & Metal offers an unorthodox perspective of Vietnam told through the lens of the country’s ubiquitous mode of transport: the motorbike.
