Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn’s film The Unburied Sounds of a Troubled Horizon (2022) follows an artist named Nguyêt as she navigates the vestiges of munitions and unexploded ordnance that continue to devastate the landscape and lives of her extended family in Vietnam. As Nguyêt transforms weaponry into magnificent sculpture and prosthetics, Unburied Sounds considers the force of these materials in expressing concepts related to reincarnation, artistic impulse, historical perspective, and reparation.
