Chiếu phim tái chế: Chia Cách (Asunder) @ TPD Centre

ASUNDER tells the story of what happened to an English town during World War One with almost all of its men fighting abroad and its women and children left behind.

ASUNDER
2016, Esther Johnson, 72’
Languages: English, with Vietnamese subtitles
Trailer – https://youtu.be/JXotucIFYZ0

Using footage from 96 separate archive films and contemporary footage and audio, ASUNDER collages the stories of people from Tyneside and Wearside to uncover what life was like on the home front, with bombs falling on Britain for the first time, conscientious objectors sentenced to death, and women working as doctors, tram conductors and footballers.
The narrative moves from an Edwardian golden era, in which sport grew in popularity and aircraft and cars pointed to a bright new future, to a war that horrifically reversed this progress.
The film is narrated by journalist Kate Adie, with actor Alun Armstrong as the voice of the Sunderland Daily Echo & Shipping Gazette, and features a beautiful woodwind-centric soundtrack composed by Sunderland’s Mercury-nominated Field Music and Newcastle’s Warm Digits.

The film uses footage archived at the Vietnam Film Institute.
