The Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network (DVAN) presents ACCENTED, a virtual series of programs that will feature a variety of writers, poets, artists, actors, filmmakers, scholars, and other cultural producers from the Vietnamese and Southeast Asian diaspora. Hosted by Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer, with co-host appearances by the She Who Has No Master(s) Collective, guests will engage in virtual conversations and discussions regarding their work, their stories, and their communities, with live Q&A sessions following each event.

This installation of ACCENTED will feature a distinguished panel of diasporic Vietnamese filmmakers, actors, and producers in conversation on the state and future of Vietnamese representations on screen and behind the scenes in cinema and on television. Guests will be discussing their career trajectories in the film and/or television industries in both/either Viet Nam and the United States, their involvement in shaping the Vietnamese and Vietnamese American cinematic landscape, and their future projects.
