John, great of you to reach out with your film. First, I would need a download link rather than a DVD. Secondly some more info about the film. Is it likely to stir emotions for the Vietnamese in a bad way ? Where was you based during the Vietnam/American war ?
You have such an impressive CV in terms of academia I would sure like to have your name in the program along with a little blurb from yourself about your feelings behind the film. I am based in North Vietnam. This is my first time organizing an event in Vietnam and I have to go through many official avenues and my proposals will be scrutinized... so please do not think I am trying to censor content of the program ... rather it is the case of having to be culturally sensitive. I am working with no budget... basically starting this project up myself from scratch. I am a film studies student basically taking a year out. This is my third time living in Vietnam. I would not be able to pay any screening fees. Jaime On Saturday, 12 October 2013, 23:50, John Knecht <[email protected]> wrote: Jamie, I made a film in 1984 called "Aspects of a Certain History". It is about the history of the American war in Vietnam where I was a soldier with the 9th Infantry Division in 1967-68. It is an experimental art work, 60 minutes, not a straight doc. I have been thinking about showing it again in 2014, the 30th anniversary of its release. I'd love to have it screened in Vietnam. It has a feel of early, politically radical Goddard and a little James Benning. I'll send you a dvd if you like. I have a web site "johnknechtart.com". There is nothing about the film on the site but you can find out more about me there. Send me your surface address if you would like a dvd copy of the film which was originally shot, edited and released in 16mm in 1984.
