Synopsis
HEAVEN’S CROSSROAD traces an impressionistic journey through Vietnam exploring the nuances and complexities of “looking” cross-culturally. Structured in a series of observational yet stylized vignettes, this experimental documentary investigates shifting relationships of voyeurism and intimacy, which link the observer with the observed. HEAVEN’S CROSSROAD explores common desires that surface through travel: the desire to be transported to another place; the desire to communicate beyond language; the desire to arrest time and re-possess a moment, a glance, a feeling, an encounter.
