In today&#8217;s frenetic world, the average shot only lasts for 2 seconds, when the new shots are cut in.<\/p>\n<p>By holding a shot, you can see a scene uncover.<\/p>\n<p>For example in the Undeniable Force of Kh\u00c3\u00b3 Kh\u00c4\u0192n, there is one scene where I am recording Cindy exiting the bedroom, and she pauses, looks the camera, and walks away. But I still linger on the empty bedroom&#8211; which adds a nice punctuation mark, a nice empty space for the viewer&#8217;s eyes to linger on.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Rather, I sought to dwell on the act of translation\u00e2\u20ac\u201c that universal human yearning to understand and be understood. Vietnamese words in the pieces are not always directly translated to English because I wanted to convey the complexity of comprehension\/miscomprehension between different languages, generations, and also through the nostalgic and bittersweet filters of memory. However, I explain the concepts through poetic voice and through visual symbols, actions, and subtle gestures.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I invite the viewer to experience the delicate moments of misreading and translation \u00e2\u20ac\u201c imbue subtle gestures and tones with layers of interpretation. The symbolic actions and conversation between a mother and daughter reveal the secret language of refugee and immigrant survival: hy sinh (sacrifice), kh\u00c3\u00b3 kh\u00c4\u0192n (suffering), perseverance (ch\u00e1\u00bb\u2039u kh\u00c3\u00b3), and success (th\u00c3\u00a0nh c\u00c3\u00b4ng).
