Star Nhà Ease Film Posters

Commission work
I created 3 posters for Star Nhà Ease film festival (2025) as part of the festival’s exhibition “Rewind and Reframe” which is on display at Rich Mix Cinema (London) from July 3rd - August 13th, 2025. 

  1. Short program “Tides of Change” poster. (rejected)
  2. Short program “Tides of Change” poster (accepted) Reflecting Vietnam’s cultural crossroads where tradition and transformation exist in dynamic tension. In this poster, I visualize the push and pull between generational values and evolving economies. A sweeping wave bisects the composition, embodying the “tide”, with each half representating a distinct path: continuty and change. On one side, a tour boat surges forward, carrying with the promise if renewal and on the other side, a solitary man sits idly beyond a burning roof signaling a sign of acceptance and defiance. I want to create this juxtaposition to invite the viewers to consider not only what changes but what endured, the complexity of choice in a shifting lanscape.
  3. Re-Imagined poster of “The Bitter Taste of Love” (1990).
    4. My interpretation of this film centres on the qutie resiliebce if a post-war generation daring to dream again. I pair the image of the protagonist Phuong standing at the door of her family’s house looking out to the rain drops that encapsulate the flowers that was given to her by an admirer to symbolize hope. This poster is a tribute to a generation navigating tenderness against the backdrop of trauma and posing the question: “What now?”.
