FREE SCREENING
BILLY WILDER THEATER AT THE HAMMER MUSEUM
Set in the aftermath of the 1975 fall of Saigon, Journey From the Fall weaves together stories of a family separated and struggling for freedom. Director
Hàm Trần’s award-winning drama, inspired by true stories of refugees, artfully defies common narratives about the Vietnamese experience,
examining the role of memory and family in communities—and a country—built out of resilience.
The screening, which will be followed by a Q&A with Director Hàm Trần and composer Christopher Wong, is part of Hear + Việt + Film, a Symposium on Music in Trans-Vietnamese Film presented by The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.
Journey From the Fall is presented by UCLA Film & Television Archive, The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities, and the Sundance Insititute, with special thanks to community partner UCLA Asian American Studies Center.
