She has directed 10 short films between high school and university, discussing, in particular, identity and cultural heritages. In this interview, Nguyen comments on the themes that currently move her productions. Descendant of Vietnamese immigrants, Nguyen uses subtle visual poetics to represents permanence, losses and resignifications of traditional and familiar customs that are constantly intertwined by the fusion of cultural horizons.
