Việt Vũ (Phạm Quang Trung) has so far completed a series of films, image series and performance projects in various socio-political zones, including Vietnam, Portugal, Hungary and Belgium. His films are shot in long takes with an intimate first-person camera, focusing on accenting repressed voices from different marginalised communities in a globalizing world. His works have been shown at different European and Asian film festivals – including Locarno, Rotterdam, Tampere, and Singapore ones. In 2018, his debut fiction short "Ant-Man" won the top prize – The Most Promising Filmmaker from South East Asia at the 2nd SeaShorts Film Festival in Malaysia. In 2021, his docufiction "The Eternal Springtime" became eligible for the Oscars nomination after winning “Best Documentary Award” at 66th International Cork Film Festival and “Best Director” at Baku International Film Festival. In the same year, his experimental "My Own Room" was granted the prestiged Wildcard Award from Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds (VAF, Belgium). Viet attained a Master Degree in Documentary Film Directing at Doc Nomads in 2021, which is fully funded by Erasmus Scholarship. Since September 2022, Viet has been carrying out his PhD in the Arts (Artistic Research) at University of Antwerp and Sint Lucas Antwerpen School of Arts (KDG), Belgium.
