The 50th Anniversary of the end of Vietnam War is on the horizon. Mark this milestone with MilkTea and see the world through the eyes and ears of the Vietnamese diaspora.

This is New Wave.

Mile-high hair. Synthesized sounds. Teenage rebellion. Elizabeth Ai was on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious punks in the chaotic world of 80s Vietnamese New Wave until she uncovers a hidden past.

New Wave is screening as part of our Supersize MilkTea initiative, we’re bringing this special film to:

• London | 3 May | Rich Mix

• Glasgow | 7 May | CCA

• Birmingham | 22 May | Mockingbird Cinema

• Manchester | TBC

All ticket booking information can be found on our Instagram.

New Wave is playing in our Supersize program, tickets are set at a highly discounted £5 (ex booking fee). For those who cannot afford this we are happy to gift a ticket - to access a free ticket, please email us on as soon as possible.

Supersize is produced with the support of the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery. 

For our London screening, our ticket holders will also be the very first to experience 50: Vietnamese Boat Refugees, Then & Now, an exhibition marking the 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, highlighting the strength and hope of the Vietnamese Boat People who built new lives in the UK.

Hosted by Rich Mix, the installation showcases personal stories, photographs, and artefacts that celebrate the resilience, contributions, and of this vibrant community. 

50: Vietnamese Boat Refugees, Then & Now curated by Jan Le, supported by MilkTea and ESEA for Labour.
