The three screenings at the third Hanoi International Film Festival were a huge success with packed audiences, and the film is expected to create a boost for Vietnamese independent cinema after its release. From January 23, the film will be shown at two screening rooms dedicated to Vietnamese and Korean independent films - CGV Art House, and then at all CGV cinemas nationwide.

The newly released official trailer of the film reveals many scenes as well as bold lines of the main actress Thuy Anh. Right at the beginning of the trailer is a conversation between the teacher and the main character - Huyen. When the teacher asks: "What did you do that I texted and called you but you didn't answer?", Huyen (played by Thuy Anh) replies: "Abortion!" (played by Tung - Huyen's lover) and Tran Bao Son (played by Hoang) are also briefly revealed.

Two of the shocking scenes featuring 19-year-old actress Thuy Anh appear in the film's trailer.

Released independently like the documentary The Last Journey of Ms. Phung, director Nguyen Hoang Diep hopes that Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere can be shown at good times and for a long time so that interested audiences can experience the film to the fullest in theaters.

Nguyen Hoang Diep said: “As a filmmaker who accidentally takes on the role of an independent film distributor for his own film, I think we are doing our best with the simplest and most basic lessons about distribution. Right now, we ask for nothing more than the attention and interest of the audience. If the audience gives Flap Wings a chance, we believe that Flap Wings will achieve good results in theaters. That will be an encouragement not only for the crew but also a door for independent filmmakers, art films, experimental films and I think, not excluding state films either.”

The 98-minute Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere was conceived by Nguyen Hoang Diep for 5 years and produced by an independent film studio specializing in art and experimental films. In addition, the project was also supported by three co-producers from France, Germany, and Norway. The film also received funding from many film funds around the world: World Cinema Fund (Berlin Film Festival, Germany), World Cinema Support (Cannes Film Festival, France), Sorfund (Norway) - the largest film fund in Northern Europe, Fonds Francophone de production audiovisuelle du Sud (France) and CDEF (Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam).

"Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere" introduces to the audience two young faces, Thuy Anh and Hoang Ha.

Huyền (Thuy Anh) is a young woman who needs money to have an abortion. Tung (Hoang Ha) - her boyfriend, suddenly disappears after losing all their savings to cockfighting. Huyền is left with the only help from her transgender best friend Linh (Thanh Duy). Then, she meets Hoàng (Tran Bao Son) - a man who has a special pleasure with pregnant women. The story becomes more complicated when Hoàng makes Huyền feel so happy that she almost forgets that there is a fetus growing in her belly.

The film premiered at the Critics' Week within the framework of the Venice Film Festival in 2014 and received the Best First Film award from the Federation of European and Mediterranean Film Critics (FEDEORA). The film had a successful North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival (Canada), an Asian premiere at the Busan International Film Festival, and participated in many other prestigious film festivals in Denmark, France, India, Taiwan, the US, Norway...

Director Nguyen Hoang Diep was awarded the “Best Director” award at the Bratislava International Film Festival (Slovakia) - a prestigious film festival in Europe for first and second films. At the end of November 2014, the film had three successful screenings at the third Hanoi International Film Festival and won the “Jury Choice” award. After that, the film continued to be screened in France and was awarded the “Special Mention” award at the film festivals of three continents.
