THE LOVE MARKET SCREENER - DISTRIBUTED BY GALLOPING FILMS
1 year ago | vimeopro.com
In the highlands of North Vietnam lies the remote town of Sapa, home to a mosaic of colorful hill tribes. Sapa opened to tourism in the late 1990s and now roughly 200 hill tribe girls aged 7 18 years live independently on the streets of Sapa to sell embroidery. A few years ago Australian film maker Shalom Almond visited Sapa as a tourist and became friends with four Hmong girls. The girls are savvy, street smart and dream of life beyond selling souvenirs. But how will these young girls survive the leap from remote tribal culture to 21st century Asia? Over the next three years Shalom returns to Vietnam with her camera to find out. Official selection, St Kilda Film Festival 2007. For further information about this film please contact carlos@gallopingfilms.com or visit gallopingfilms.com
