Combining archive film, newly shot footage and contemporary music,Dust & Metalis a cinematic voyage through Vietnam’s enduring love affair with motorbikes, bringing unfamiliar stories of Vietnam’s past and present to the screen for the first time. Stepping away from Hollywood’s portrayals of the American/Vietnam War, this documentary offers an unorthodox perspective of Vietnam told through the lens of the country’s ubiquitous mode of transport.

This screening is accompanied by a live score performance by Xo Xinh, and a Q&A with director Esther Johnson after the film.
