Luoi Dao (Blade), Ai Xuoi Van Ly (Who goes along Van Ly), Chiec Chia Khoa Vang (The golden key) and Gai Nhay (Bar girls) by Le Hoang will be displayed.
The four films portray Vietnam’s changing society in recent years, according to L’Espace.
Visitors can attend the screenings of these films at the L’Espace auditorium for free, and short French films will be also shown beforehand.
Hoang is a renowned movie maker, scriptwriter, and journalist.
Born in 1956 in Hanoi and graduating from the Hanoi University of Theater and Cinema in 1982, Hoang released his first film Vi Dang Tinh Yeu (the bitter taste of love) in 1991, which received high praise from the public.
In 2005, Hoang set a record in Vietnam when he earned VND100 million (US$6,000) for directing Gai Nhay.
Until then, the highest sum a director could hope for was VND25 million ($1,500).
L’Espace will also present American director John Huston’s “The Dead,” which was adapted from Irish expatriate writer James Joyce’s eponymous story in his collection of short stories titled “Dubliners.”
The film stars Huston’s daughter Anjelica Huston and was released posthumously as the director passed away in the same year.
It was nominated for an Academy Award in the categories of “Writing Adapted Screenplay” and “Costume Design.”
Taking place in early twentieth century Dublin at a party held by two elderly sisters, the film focuses on the academic Gabriel Conroy (Donal McCann) and his discovery of his wife Gretta’s (Anjelica Huston) memory of a deceased lover.
L’Espace is located at 24 Trang Tien Street in Hanoi.
