Our guest today is Pitivanh "Poupou" Phamuang (she/her), who is based in Vientiane, Laos and was studying at National Institute of Fine Arts at the time of the conversation, majoring Film and Animation in the department of Visual Communication Design. "Mali" is the first screenplay that she wrote, about the budding romance between two high school Lao girls. Poupou also performed the role as assistant director on the production team, and assistant editor on post-production.

In our conversation, Deryck and Tri chat with Poupou about the day-to-day living in Vientiane as an arts student that informs much of Poupou's creative journey, her aspirations to becoming an animator, and the challenges that will come with that as a Laos-based artist.

A brief of what the MAFN Talk podcast series came from: This past Oct 2022, The SEAD Project hosted our Mid-Autumn Film Night, or MAFN - an indoor screen feast of Southeast Asian past, present, and futures made by SEA filmmakers near and far and was a portal for the local Twin Cities SEA community to see through the artistic eyes of SEA creatives.

Listen to our interviews with featured film artists from MAFN. Also, check out our Rad Café 2021 conversation series, on SEA diasporic political co-learning.

These films are love letters inked in the sinking struggles, sojourns, and unsettled worlds that make up the complex and beautiful weight of our Southeast Asian communities.
