Elysium vô bờ

Elysium Without Shores

Arlette Quynh-Anh Tran | Vietnam, South Korea | 2024 | 10' |

| IFFR 2025

Elysium vô bờ portrays a múa bóng rỗi ritual on an island in the Mekong Delta. As dancers raise their voices in prayer, their collective performance ultimately culminates in the destruction of a hydroelectric dam system, and the inhabitants take on a new role within the island’s ecosystem. A singular animation that merges our human world with that of celestial beings.
