Focusing on Ngọc Quỳnh’s On Top of the Wave, on Top of the\u0000 Wind, it argues that this film offers a timely reflection upon the reality\u0000 of fighting and the labour of the Vietnamese people in the American\u0000 War. Through the film’s spatial narrative and visuality of cultural and\u0000 physical geography, the filmmaker conflates nation and home, blurring\u0000 the separation of domestic and public spaces and creating a national/\u0000 familial space for both sexes. Yet while this narrative invokes patriotism\u0000 and mobilizes women’s participation in the national struggle, it also limits\u0000 women’s agency and subjectivity after the war.","PeriodicalId":210445,"journal":{"name":"Southeast Asia on Screen","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122246080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawn\u0000 from earlier oral, theatre and folkloric sources, the komiks funnel story\u0000 materials towards the films, thereby recycling the success of the texts\u0000 in previous forms and recreating the genres as means of producing a\u0000 distinctly Filipino vernacular modernism.
