'I don't let fear hold me back': Vietnam filmmakers challenge censors


The latest movie to test the waters is "Chi Chi Em Em" -- or "Sister Sister" -- featured at Asia's biggest film festival this week after a strong performance at the Vietnamese box office. "I don't let fear hold me back," she added, before the movie was screened at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea this week. According to government guidelines, Vietnamese films must demonstrate "good ideological content" to pass the censorship board -- and pornography, violence and hostility towards the state are not allowed. "It needs a lot of voices and a lot of films to create a real change," the 30-year-old said. "Chi Chi Em Em" is another example of progress, according to director Uyen.
