DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Series  on the 30th anniversary of the liberation of 
 Vietnam—two documentaries by Cuban filmmaker, Santiago Álvarez  Hanoi 
 Tuesday the 13th  Filmed in Hanoi on December 13, 1966, this documentary 
 records the lives of people in the Vietnam capital and surrounding 
 countryside at the height of U.S. bombing. Their daily activities are 
 presented in a collage of images: building irrigation ditches, planting 
 rice , fishing, weaving...life continued despite the shower of U.S. bombs. 
 During these air raids, the people formed armed self-defense units so 
 efficient that the life of the nation was not interrupted. 40min. 1967.  79 
 Springtimes of Ho Chi Minh  This film memorializes the leader of Vietnam, 
 Ho Chi Minh, on the occasion of his death. It narrates the story of a life 
 which is also the story of a nation – recounting his important 
 accomplishments in the struggle against colonialism and imperialism.The 
 simplicity of his ascetic life of study, work, and struggle is contrasted 
 to the pomp of his official funeral, where the film documents the immense 
 outpouring of grief by the Vietnamese people on the death of their leader. 
 The film’s most impacting sequence is its outcry against the Vietnam War, 
 with scenes of anti-war protests in the U.S. and battle scenes give way to 
 disturbing images of mutilated Vietnamese children. 24min. 1969.  $5
