Et Cetera<\/h4>\n

In May 2022, Bich-Quan Tran curated “Hymno” by Lav Diaz for Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels -an international performing arts festival dedicated to contemporary theatre, dance, performance and visual arts- in partnership with Galeries Cinema. “Hymno” is both an exhibition made of emblematic excerpts from Lav Diaz’s movies that take the visitors into a unique immersive sensory journey and a live performance that introduces us to mourning rituals as related in Taal<\/em>, which Lav Diaz shot while filming When The Waves Are Gone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In addition, Bich-Quan Tran is also the founder of work-in-progress Europe-based French\/English online magazine asiaetcetera.com<\/a> dedicated to Asian cinema and cultures and occasionally assists small businesses (from the movie industry or not) in change management matters and other out-of-the-blue subjects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_divider_position=”bottom” el_class=”align-center”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9″][vc_column_text]\n
