Biography

Nguyen Le Trung Hai, a film director who grew up amidst the constant transformations of his hometown. These changes sparked a passion for exploring how people adapt to contemporary society, with cinema becoming the chosen medium to tell these stories.

Graduated in Media Technology Management from the Faculty of Design and Arts, Hoa Sen University, Ho Chi Minh City. In 2018, attended the directing course at Autumn Meeting, under the guidance of director Trần Anh Hùng - an experience that reshaped the perception and approach to filmmaking.

Short film PAPERLAND (ĐẤT TRÊN GIẤY) was selected for S-Express 2020, screening across nine Southeast Asian countries.

From the Judges, on MEETING BY MISTAKE (2025)

From the Judges, on MEETING BY MISTAKE

Framing, composition and lighting drew genuine admiration here, guided by a sensitive directorial hand that lets the camera hold larger environments and trust the quiet moments. The central performances carry a great deal in what goes unsaid, and the panel found the relationship at the film's heart entirely believable. Heart, emotional depth and a touch of tasteful humour make this a beautiful piece of work.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
