The Evolution of Vietnamese Cinema: A Global Premiere at the Venice Film Festival 2024

Written and directed by Duong Dieu Linh, “The Housewife’s Voodoo” takes us on a journey into the life of a Hanoi-based housewife who turns to voodoo in a desperate attempt to rekindle her husband’s love, only to unintentionally invite a mysterious entity into their home.

With a unique blend of magical realism and a quirky sense of humor, the film delves into the universal themes of womanhood, family dynamics, and cultural traditions. It offers a fresh and captivating perspective on the challenges and aspirations of middle-aged women, a theme that Linh has explored in her award-winning short film series, including “A Trip to Heaven,” “Sweet, Salty,” and “Mother, Daughter, Dreams.”

Linh’s feature film debut is set to premiere at the prestigious Venice Film Festival, the world’s oldest and one of the most renowned film festivals, alongside other prestigious events such as the Big Three European Film Festivals, the Toronto Film Festival, and Sundance Film Festival. These festivals are a celebration of cinematic art, providing a platform for creators to express their unique voices and showcase their artistic talents.

The Venice Film Festival, accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) in 1951, has become a staple in the film industry, with this year marking its 81st edition. It continues to be a launchpad for emerging talent and a showcase of diverse and innovative storytelling from around the globe.

According to Le Quoc Minh, a member of the Party Central Committee and editor-in-chief of Nhan Dan, the idea for the MV originated with Kenny G’s “Good Morning Vietnam” concert, which was produced by Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group in November 2023, with all proceeds going to charitable organizations. “The saxophone virtuoso greatly valued the show’s significance and eagerly participated in the MV promoting Hanoi tourism – a medium that we believe will have a greater impact than conventional tourism promotional clips,” Minh stated at a press conference in Hanoi on April 19.
