Ikon are hosting a Vietnamese Film Festival, When Love Doesn’t Come Back, on 22 & 23 January. The festival also coincides with the first UK screening of Vietnamese artist Dinh Q. Lê’s animation South China Sea Pishkun, at the CBSO Centre.

Inspired by events of 30 April 1975 at the end of America’s war in Vietnam, the film is based on the desperate escape by the South Vietnamese and Americans in the face of the advancing Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army.

The weekend will host screenings of classics such as Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket and Rescue Dawn plus little-seen arthouse titles The Scent of Green Papaya and When the Tenth Month Comes.

Entrance to the festival is free, with screenings being held in Ikon Gallery’s Events Room and CBSO Centre. For a full rundown of the programme, take a look at Ikon’s website.
