Filmmaker Mai Hua, 1/2: Transmission & Filming Her Lineage of Women

  • Summary

  • When Mai Hua started documenting her dying grandmother returning from Vietnam, what actually unfolded became a paradigm-shifting movie that has been seen in 82 countries.


    "Les Rivières (The Rivers) is an intimate journey into my matriarchal family story. It took me 6 years to accomplish this family archeology."


    In this first part of our conversation, Mai talks about: how real life takes us beyond the threshold of our imagination, the vulnerability dynamics behind her choice to expose her family, what actually drives her creative process, and more.
