The event, held by the Hanoi-based Center for Assistance and Development of Movie, will include a movie screening together with a talk, hosted by local director Phan Dang Di, on Terrence Malick’s life, career and his work.

Born in 1943 in Texas, Terrence Malick is also a screenwriter and producer. In his career spanning over four decades, Malick has directed five feature films.

Though his movies do not succeed at the box office, they have been well received by the industry’s experts. Malick was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Director for “The Thin Red Line” and “The Tree of Life” as well as Best Adapted Screenplay for “The Thin Red Line.”

He also won the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival for “The Thin Red Line” and the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival for “The Tree of Life” last year.

Starred by Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain, “The Tree of life” tells the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, of a family in Texas in 1950s through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father.

In January 2012, the film received three Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography.

Phan Dang Di, director of Vietnamese award-wining movie “Bi, Don’t be afraid” was nominated for Best Writer at the Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong for the movie “Adrift” directed by Bui Thac Chuyen in 2010.

The event will take place in the afternoon of March 4 at the center at 22A Hai Ba Trung Street.
