Home and homelessness have become an obsession in Trương Minh Quý’s filmmaking. Through his films, we can see and perhaps live in different homes. Making each film is like building and rebuilding a house where memories are as much preserved as they are lost.

Born in Buôn Ma Thuột, a city in Vietnam’s central highlands, Trương Minh Quý often sets and finds inspiration for his films in his hometown. His filmography includes The City of Mirrors: A Fictional Biography (2016), The Tree House (2019). In 2024, his film Việt and Nam was selected in Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2025, his film, Hair, Paper, Water,…, co-directed with Nicolas Graux, won the Golden Leopard (Filmmakers of the Present) at the Locarno Film Festival.

This event will take place in Reid Hall’s Grande Salle Ginsberg-LeClerc, built in 1912 and extensively renovated in 2023 thanks to the generous support of Judith Ginsberg and Paul LeClerc.

The Rendez-Vous de l’Institut Series is generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

This event will be recorded and may be broadcast as part of our SNF Rendez-vous de l’Institut podcast series. By participating and asking questions, you consent to the use of your voice in this context.
